Pimps of joytime- High Steppin

Coming from Brooklyn & New Orleans with that heavy funk & soul sound, The Pimps of Joytime are definately the live group to look out for in 2008! Their songs are songs you sing along to, dance to, make a block party to! Band leader, singer, guitarist and producer Brian J comes from a strong musical background and along with a 5 member band has advanced his sound over the past few years to a pure original groove. The songs range from heavy New Orleans Funk to Latin Cumbia to Afrobeat Soul, to Ballads and Blues.
Backed by a swinging percussion groove, "H20" features the vocals of the great Cyril Neville of the Neville Brothers. "Street Sounds" takes you on a soulful dancefloor sound around the various cities where street musicians create the soundscape. "Bonita" is a call to all bonita's to the dancefloor, and just to surprise you, there's some real heavy funk/ blues tunes such as "My Gold" and "Hey Mr J." They've been very busy touring in SF, LA & their hometowns New Orleans & NYC. The Pimps of Joytime's first album "High Steppin" will surely take you higher!

The Pimps love of afro-beat, rock n roll, North Mississippi blues, Cuban son montuno, hip hop, pop, and dub shines through as they combine elements of those styles into their own special brew. Their ability to write catchy and epic melodies on top of these groves consistently gets people out of their seats, sweakin their sneaks and scootin their boots.
