about
Finless Brown is a live funk/hip-hop band based in San Francisco, CA. With members hailing from Japan, Santa Cruz, Marin, Philly, Cleveland, and Detroit, Finless Brown brings a unique sound to the scene that has drawn comparisons to trip hop acts such as Portishead, hip hop acts such as, the Beastie Boys and the Roots, and soul funk outfits such as, Dee Lite and the Brand New Heavies. Fronted by the husband and wife duo of Paulie Rhyme and bilingual singer/emcee Moto (who sings and rhymes in English and Japanese), Finless Brown promotes having a good time, thinking a little, and stepping outside of the box when making music. A true testament to this is Finless Brown’s unique approach to songwriting. As with previous incarnations of the band, the majority of the Brown’s songs come from extensive jam sessions chopped up, passed around, and reformatted. Giving each member, and instrument equal significance in the process, creating a collective fusion of vocals, turntables, and instrumentation while still giving listeners the “boom”, the “bap”, and the “one”. To date, Finless Brown has released 3 studio projects and 1 live album, garnering critical acclaim for their brand of “politically charged party music” and receiving airplay not only stateside, but in the Canada, Europe, and Japan. They have been featured in publications such as, the SF Weekly, the Cleveland Scene, East West Woman, West Coast Performer, and a host of music websites and blogs. Finless has also been seen alo
