ABOUT P.I.C
P.I.C as appearing on EL NOVA HUSTLE (from L to R) - J-Bomb (MC), Un-G Wasmabati (MC, DJ), HJ (tenor & bari sax), Rick Fingers (bass), Sulu (MC, trumpet), Concerto (guitar), Rice (keys)
P.I.C has been a staple of the Lower East Side music scene for the last 10 years. Their wildly successful debut album HIPHOPUNKFUNKMAMBOSKA!!! (2000) was added to over 300 radio stations nationwide and reached #1 on CMJ charts from Canada to Hawaii. P.I.C's second album SEXY PICNIC (2003) was an even bigger CMJ hit, and was picked up for national distribution by Select-O-Hits Records. In 2002, P.I.C gleefully served as Wanda Syke's house band on Comedy Central's "Premium Blend," which adapted their original track, HIPHOPUNKFUNKMAMBOSKA, as the show's theme song. In 2005, P.I.C unleashed THE BROOKLYN INCIDENT into the Japanese market, distributed by Swamp/Polystar Records. GOT ME LIKE, the first single off EL NOVA HUSTLE won the Asian Cinevision / Michelob Light Music Video Award and was selected a Top 10 Videos of 2005 on CNET's download.com.
As the title of their debut album HIPHOPUNKFUNKMAMBOSKA!!! might suggest, P.I.C has grown adept at genre mashing while churning out a sound all their own. P.I.C's latest full-length album, EL NOVA HUSTLE, is armed with 11 new songs that continue in that style, displaying maturity in their musicianship and songwriting skills as they venture further into the worlds of Motown, Swing, Jazz and Soul.
EL NOVA HUSTLE will be released in Japan on February 13, 2008 with Swamp Records, and will be featuring new music not heard on the U.S. version.
