The Pimptones is the brainchild of Nick Pride, a jazz guitarist with a passion for Hip-Hop, Soul and Funk.
Playing original material in the style of The Meters, Maceo Parker, JTQ and Charlie Hunter, the band is equally at home in a noisy nightclub or intimate jazz setting.
From supporting Candi Staton and Youngblood Brass Band, to playing The North East Funk and Soul Review and The Gateshead International Jazz Festival, the groups reputation has grown since its birth in 2007.
2009 sees the release of the quintet's first CD "It's The Pimptones" (Jazz Girl Records)
