The Dystrict (Punk / Rock) 05-27-07 With a multiethnic mix of musicians hailing from both the East and West Coasts, The Dystrict's unusual blend of punk-funk guitar riffs, groove-ridden bass lines, hip hop beats and soulful lyricism gives a nod to their varied influences (311, The Red Hot Chilli Peppers, No Doubt, Aretha Franklin) and a testament to how they insist on changing the face of rock n' roll – just a little bit. Featured Track: Bio: With a multiethnic mix of musicians hailing from both the East and West Coasts, The Dystrict's unusual blend of punk-funk guitar riffs, groove-ridden bass lines, hip hop beats and soulful lyricism gives a nod to their varied influences (311, The Red Hot Chilli Peppers, No Doubt, Aretha Franklin) and a testament to how they insist on changing the face of rock n' roll – just a little bit. "Each of us are very different in what we listen to, how we hear music" says the Nigerian raised lead singer, Sayo, "we try to bring that difference to the table, you know, create something that is full of passion and draws people in. Definitely explosive." Combining years of musical experience, members of The Dystrict have played popular venues and events around the country such as CBGB's, the Vans Warped Tour and The Midpoint Music Festival and have continued to spread their energetic and riotous live show across the West Coast. "The Dystrict is the kind of music you can't help but nod your head to, dance to, tell a friend about because its infectious," says drummer, Karl. A set filled with punchy alt-flavored hits like "Pabbit" and reggae tinged "Quarter Century Life" leaves no question as to why The Dystrict is steadily becoming a force to reckon with. The Dystrict is currently in the studio putting the finishing touches on their debut studio album titled, "Quarter Century Life."
