Based out of San Francisco, the Shotgun Wedding Quintet are best described as a hip-hop jazz outfit. They’re members of the Jazz Mafia collective, and they’re not afraid to get political.More info: www.myspace.com
Pulling in influences from ska to reggae to klezmer, the Shotgun Wedding Quintet could be viewed as just another novelty band. To make that assumption, however, would miss one important thing: they’re ferociously talented.
The Shotgun Wedding Quintet’s dark, sharp-edged, often funny lyrics detail the daily trials of San Francisco life, from the girlfriend that’s “too hip to live” to the frustrations of being used as a derogatory example on the national political stage. Their solid beats had people dancing in front of the stage.
