The Impellers are a 12-piece powerhouse from Brighton, bringing together influences including soul, deep funk, latin, afrobeat, and hip hop production, with pounding instrumentals and lyrically strong vocal tracks. The band’s first full album “Robot Legs” was released on UK independent label Freestyle Records in 2009 and featured a guest appearance from DJ and latin percussion legend Snowboy. May 2014 saw the release of their third album, entitled “My Certainty”, which firmly confirmed The Impellers as one of the strongest funk outfits of the planet.
The Impellers have been busy touring across the UK, Netherlands, Spain, France and elsewhere. They've shared stages with some of the finest funk, soul, hip-hop, jazz and scratch DJ talent from around the world. Their ever-expanding CV includes shows with Marva Whitney, Breakestra, James Taylor Quartet, The Bamboos, Lack of Afro, Kid Koala, Hexstatic, Mr Thing (The Scratch Perverts), DJ Bizznizz (UK DMC Championships winner), DJ Vadim, Speedometer, Polar Bear, Part Time Heroes and The Nextmen. The band also played live sessions on the BBC in the UK and were recruited by renowned DJ and promoter Adrian Gibson to play a live mix of tracks from the seminal “Ultimate Breaks & Beats” records
Original retro funk and soul with a modern twist from eight-piece Crowd Company, one of London’s leading bands of the genre. Brimful of energy, with a raw edge, catchy hooks, and tight grooves, the band have a finely-tuned sound based around retro funk grooves with a soulful edge, a Hammond organ-based sound with a virtuoso horn section, and soulful lead with hook-laden harmonies.
As well as headlining sellout shows at many of London’s leading venues, the band recently were asked to open for acclaimed Sharon Jones & The Dap Kings artists Saun & Starr and they’ve also recently opened for and collaborated with The Meters' George Porter Jr on his UK tour.
”Excellent… tough, dirty and lowdown” said Craig Charles, BBC Radio 6
