Barfly

As part a part of Barfly’s one off, and unique Italian music festival in London, Casino Royale offers a mesh of bi-lingual Dub, Funk and Hip Hop. Formed in 1987, taking their name from the famous Ian Fleming James Bond novel; Casino Royale infuse Hip Hop beats with at times dark and edgy guitars, giving them a distinctive sound which is further encapsulated by the way they interchange between Italian and English.  2004 saw them work with new mediums to further their sound, and them signing to V2 records. In addition to this they have worked with the prestigious and well know producer Howie B.  

 

Dexy crawled out of somewhere in South East London called Lewisham with a bunch of songs. He played to whoever wanted to listen, and to a bunch more who didn't know they wanted to listen yet. He then thought "I like the smell of volume in my evenings" and decided he needed some Hand Me Downs to make this happen. So after months of absolutely no auditions whatsoever, here we are. I guess it's country. I guess it's punk. Or punktry. As long as it moves.
