Genre
Now I'm not one for confining bands to specific genres, as you may have noticed while reading my Monk's Wine blog post. These guys combine elements of undeniable funk and smooth silky soul, while experimenting with ambient and reggae....there, that was my best shot!
Closing
From a small local bar to a theater, Slow Ya Roll are some very well rehearsed artists who know how to please a crowd. Having been to several shows as an audience member, let me tell you there is never a dull moment when they control the stage. I couldn't endorse a more spirited local band.
For upcoming shows, tunes, and much more, see the links below!
I liked what you said about not feeling like it was your place to classify the genre of a band's music. I find it very hard nowadays to tie only one genre to a band. The lines between genres have almost become fluid and blurred in today's music industry.
ReplyDeleteThe name of this band is hilarious. haha. But past that, they sound pretty cool! I'm going to give them a listen.
ReplyDeleteListened to a few tracks, and I can't believe I've never heard of them before!
