Pocket Dwellers
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Pocket Dwellers are a seven member experimental hip-hop group from the Toronto area. They have been performing since 1996. Although, officially, a "Hip - Hop" group, they have major influences from Jazz, Funk, Soul and Breakbeat - among many other genres. So much so that some of their recorded songs are actually themed and centred around, for example, a Jazz concept with small elements of Hip - Hop thrown in, instead of the other way around, which might be expected. Although they are all very talented musicians, they also have some good vocal talent within the group.
Their Live concerts are often packed with energy and performed to a pre - planned selection of songs, however while playing each song, there are often small but subtle improvisations made by each member of the group.
