The Initials

Music's very own The Initials

About Me

The Initials were a 7 piece band (6 guys and 1 female trombonist) from London who played groove laden pop. Their music was designed to be uplifting and enjoyable, which was reflected in the vibe of their gigs. They incorporated elements of Rock, Funk, Soul, Hip-Hop and Latin to create a sound all of their own.
The Initials are between the ages of 19-27 and started out two years ago by playing funk covers at weddings and parties (which they still do if people ask them very nicely). But the plan was always to write and perform their own songs. They have been gigging with original material on the London circuit for over a year, playing at venues such as Cafe de Paris, Carling Academy 2, Halfmoon Putney, Progress Bar Tufnell Park, Sound Leicester Square, the Metro Club, the Bull & Gate Kentish Town, and the Rock Garden.

If you want to contact us directly email [email protected] - but seeing as they're not together anymore - there's not much point.
