Searching for some new groove tunes to shake that funk out?
Try a little Daria and the Hip Drops, you just might like it.
Hailing from Tallahassee, Daria Dzurik and her main partner
in crime, Graham Robinson, boogied on over to New Orleans with the hopes of
cooking up some new musical concoctions. A lethal combination of Daria’s background
in vocals and piano, Graham’s abilities on bass and their shared jazz
influences, the duo was well on their way to some deadly dance jams. Describing
it as “funk and R&B with a little world-inspiration”, Daria’s music aims
for both versatility and “dancibility”.

“I want people to be able to sing back,” she said. “I want
it to be stuck in your head.”
So, if you’re looking to snag a saucy sample, Daria and her
krewe of funky fellows will be at The Maison this Friday night with The
Scorseses. Lace up your dancing shoes and head on down!
Forever in Funk,
