dance mediums as it can get its hands on. Injecting raw
hip twisting vibrations into everything from fat funk and
disco grooves to deep dub and high energy hip hop.

and FAMILIA from Vancouver

Their sound is birthed by a childhood raised on their parents stacks of classic vinyl (Beatles, Zeppelin, Stones) married to modern indie styles (Arcade Fire, Belle and Sebastian, Metric) topped off with vocals from a rock and soul influence (Lauryn Hill, Portishead, elements of Bjork & Feist).

Their chemistry translates into magical live performances that range from roaring gypsy-punk dance numbers to heartbreaking ballads.
