Lords Of Flatbush

About Me

Yin and yang, Ed & Fill eventually found each other after much time lost in the ether. Whilst busy making plans for other people they thought it would be neat to do something for themselves so they hid themselves away in their snake pit, like latter day hermits & finally emerged, blinking in the warm glow of the sun with some freaky songs about the politics of dancing & the sensi or sensibility conundrum. Having more, great ideas than is healthy for 2 people, they have directed some of their ADHD like energy into something delicious. And so began the life of the future sound of everything. Comprising the eclectic talents of four yoot & one black man this bunch of unlikely heroes are collectively known as LORDS OF FLATBUSH. A kid with curls, one sporting a fine stubble, another with a Sancho Panza tache & soft hands, a sage with dreads & one with the eternal glint of happiness. Not to be mistaken with a 70s Italian street gang from NYC & the Fonz. Their desire is to stand & be counted, make you sway, your ears bleed & have a good time. “Flatbush just wanna make you dance, so put on your best dancing pants”With a sound which sucessfully fuses Electro/Funk/Punk/ & Ska, LOF have one aim, one goal.. .."to be there, when you are in trouble"

Sounds Like: "The Lords of Flatbush, the bright-eyed hipsters whose sultry combination of electro, rock, ska and funk is fronted by the honey soaked vocals of Steve Edwards, whose contributions have peppered hits from Cassius, Bob Sinclair and Axwell. As rowdy and cool as the sly stone and fonz starring gang flick they take their name from, their blistering ability to morph these seemingly disparate influences into a lucid party makes for brilliant live shows, a full throttle assault of colour and sound." Sheffield Plug review.
