Music Videos We Love :: Soil & Pimp Sessions, Pop Korn
I caught Soil & Pimp’s NY debut a few years ago and they absolutely blew me away. It was a jazz show for our generation – vibrant, full of energy executed by highly skilled & talented mad men who commanded their instruments, the stage & all of us in the crowd. Soon it was termed “Death Jazz” which is a fitting description as the frenzy of their show is closer to a death metal gig than a languid, jazz joint.
