Experience the unique sound of Pauly P Band, a well-established collective of musicians in Cairns, as they blend various genres in a non-traditional style. Live looping and Ableton live come together with live instruments and lush vocals, creating a harmonious blend of analog and digital elements. Imagine the boundaries between Reggae, Dub, Funk, Rock, and Hip Hop disappearing.
Based in the tropical jungles of North QLD, Pauly P is a master looper, bringing lashings of sultry grooves, smokin’ vocals and swirling textures to his charismatic tunes Incorporating loops on Guitar, Bass and Drums, Pauly’s highly skilled and groovy performance is a must-see and has already drawn comparisons to the likes of fellow loop master generals Tash Sultana, Bernhoft and Claude Hay. While technically a one-man-band, this is no one trick pony – The Pauly P Band features Aidan Ekelund on Keys and backing vox & Bastian Cavaracho on Ableton and Percussion weave their eclectic swagger across a variety of genres, including covers of NZ dubsters Fat Freddys Drop, Jimi Hendrix and Nine Inch Nails. Lurking behind these irresistible beats is a strong social consciousness, and Pauly’s positive vibes and pertinent lyrical content create the ultimate ear-candy with a conscience. Pauly P has been featured at festivals such as Blues Fest, Island Vibe, Wallaby Creek, Mission Evolve, Valley Fiesta, Kuranda Roots and many others. He has also supported an array of massive artists such as J Boog, Sticky Fingers, Ocean Alley, Katchafire, Salmonella Dub, Reuben Stone, John Butler Trio and many other international acts.
