The Filthy Six
"These guys have got all the licks! Soul Jazz how we like it; rough, rugged and played by guys totally on top of their game. A very exciting addition to the UK Scene"
-The Craig Charles Funk And Soul Show, BBC 6Music
"Led with brassy authority by trumpeter Nick Etwell this punchy band recalled the muscular funk of Jimmy Smith and Brother Jack McDuff... dazzling guitar breaks and appropriately booting sax solos went down a treat! "
-London Evening Standard, April 5, 2015
"The music of The Filthy Six is one of those rare sonic treats that effortlessly alternates between smart, soulful melodicism and gutbucket funk without missing a beat!"
-'The Audiovore' - Birmingham Mountain Radio AL (USA)
Reviews of The Fox, released April 2012
"A vintage gem… consummate musicianship, groove, style and panache… an overwhelming motoric jazzer!" -Blues & Soul Magazine
"Album of the week" - JazzFM (UK’s No 1 Jazz Radio Station)
The Filthy Six are an exciting, authentic Soul Jazz outfit from the UK. They have established themselves as one of the most electric live acts on the scene. Their soaring horns, blistering guitar and gut-wrenching Hammond are fuelled by one of the hardest grooving rhythm sections around producing a hip-shakingly powerful mixture of jazz, funk and boogaloo, totally in keeping with the finest traditions of the Blue Note sound. These instrumental groove merchants fuse boundless energy and incredible musicianship to create tight, funky music that moves the mind, body and soul whilst simultaneously tearing the roof off every venue they play.
Led by trumpeter Nick Etwell (Tom Jones, David Axelrod, Beck) this crack unit of erudite musical gunslingers have graced the bands of some of the biggest names in music including Amy Winehouse, Jill Scott, Mark Ronson, Jack White, Dionne Warwick, Mumford & Sons, Pee Wee Ellis, Ronnie Spector, Basement Jaxx, Spiritualized, 4hero, Atomic Bomb Band, Madness, Galactic and the James Taylor Quartet to name a few.
2014 was a busy year for The Filthy Six, highlights of which included 3 Sold Out shows for the Craig Charles Funk & Soul Club (BBC 6Music), two Sold Out shows at the Pizza Express Jazz Club, London, a headline slot at the Isle Of Wight Festival (Jazz Stage) and their first gigs in the USA. The band also recorded 'live' sessions for KUT Radio (Austin TX), Daytrotter (Nashville TN), The Birthplace Sessions (Tupelo MS), Spectra Sonic Sound Sessions (Birmingham AL) and the Echo Sessions, in Asheville, North Carolina. 2015 will see the release of 3 short films documenting their Filthy fun and frolics across the US, as well as the release of their 3rd album and shows throughout the year. The new record is undoubtedly their Filthiest yet, having been scientifically engineered to have you moving and grooving so hard you'll burn holes in not 1 but 2 pairs of boots and a large chunk of that dancefloor too... Bad. Ass.
