The Pimptones, based in Newcastle, Uk, is the brainchild of Nick Pride, a jazz guitarist with a passion for Hip-Hop, Soul, and most of all Breakbeat Funk. The band's super-tight sound came the old fashioned way - from constant gigging, jamming, rehearsing and refining. From raw and funky beginnings, their style has developed to include Soul, Jazz and R&B influences. From supporting Candi Staton and Youngblood Brass Band, to playing at the Gateshead International Jazz Festival, the groups reputation has grown since its birth in 2007.
