THE ROOKS are a New York City-based indie soul sextet. The band draws on an eclectic catalogue of influences (the melodic sensibilities of Stevie Wonder, the staggered backbeats of J Dilla, the vocal intricacies of The Dirty Projectors) as they dance the line between the kind of music that makes you think and feel-good-down-in-your-gut soul.

Busty and the Bass

Busty and the Bass, born out of small, impromptu Montreal house parties has evolved to become a tight funk/soul band playing powerful original music and innovative covers. Now frequenting some of the cities finest venues including l’Astral, Sala Rosa, Divan Orange, and Les Bobards, “Busty” is one of Montreal’s most vibrant and exciting collectives on the scene today. To attend a Busty show is to be filled with a powerful sensation of energy and freedom, making dancing and shouting irresistible.
