ECLECTIC METHOD
Doors 6:00pm :: Show 9:00pm :: 21+
The Pimps of Joytime crosses all the barriers and bridges all the gaps between underground funk, soul, pop, dance, afrobeat and latin, filling every song with soulful harmonies and great vibes. Brian J is the band’s ringmaster. He started The PJT’s in Brooklyn back in 2005, where they cut their teeth in NYC clubs. Mixing samples and dance beats with tasty live musicianship and sweet vocal harmonies, The Pimps of Joytime have evolved into the current five-piece that gets crowds from SF to London on their feet. Putting a modern twist on a retro sound, The PJT’s make dirty, ass-shakin’ grooves like no one else. 2008 was a great year for The Pimps of Joytime-they put out two albums on DJ Nickodemus’ Wonderwheel Recordings, “High Steppin” and “Funk Fixes and Remixes”. 2009 has been even better—The PJT’s have already played over 70 shows from California to North Carolina to Alaska, and somehow found the time to complete their newest album, “Funky Brooklyn” which is coming soon.

ECLECTIC METHOD
Doors 8:00pm / Show 9:00pm / 18 and Over
SOLD OUT
The Disco Biscuits have entered their second decade as one of the most successful acts on the jam-band circuit. In the years since the mid-’90s, the Disco Biscuits have brought together the worlds of jam bands and electronic music with its “trance-fusion” sound that mixes the free-form improvisations of jazz with the hypnotic rhythms which provided the soundtrack for rave culture. In the process, the band has garnered critical acclaim and a loyal fanbase.

Eclectic Method helped pioneer the emerging art of audio-visual mixing since first cutting U2’s Mysterious Ways music video with the Beastie Boys’ Intergalactic as an experiment back in 2002. The trio’s audio-visual mash-ups feature television, film, music and video game footage sliced and diced into blistering, post-modern dance floor events. It’s a cyclone of music and images mashed together in a world where Kill Bill fight scenes and Dave Chappelle’s Rick James rants are ingeniously cut and looped over bootleg samples, DVD scratches and pumped-up dance anthems.
