The Uptown Party Down

Details: Fresh from recording their promotional EP, The Uptown Party Down has been gaining fast momentum on the NYC music scene as the next funky party band to emerge in the City.. Comprised of 8 musicians (almost all with master's degrees in jazz), they throw caution and formality to the wind with their high-energy live performances. Their sound could best be described as a synth and bass driven dance machine, with frantic horn lines on the verge of bebop madness but always using just enough restraint to leave audiences wanting more. Canadian Frontman Alex Birnie deftly plays his role as the ringleader, keeping his troops in line, always conscious of moving the party forward and crooning audiences with his soaring, soulful tenor. It's only a matter of time before The Uptown Party Down is no longer NYC's best kept musical secret.
