Busty and the Bass is a Canadian electro-soul and hip hop band from Montreal, Quebec. The band is known for its unique brand of music, which incorporates two vocalists, a horn section, and a diverse range of musical genres.
Having met while attending college at McGill University, all nine of the founding members are still with the band, including Nick Ferraro (vocals, alto sax), Evan Crofton a.k.a. Alistair Blu (vocals, keyboards, synths), Scott Bevins (trumpet), Mike McCann (trumpet), Chris Vincent (trombone), Louis Stein (guitar), Milo Johnson (bass), Eric Haynes (keyboards, piano) and Julian Trivers (drums). To date, Busty and the Bass has put out two EPs, GLAM (2015) and LIFT (2016), and one full-length album, Uncommon Good, which was released on September 8, 2017. The band is currently signed to Montreal’s Indica Records, along with other notable acts such as Half Moon Run and Phantogram.
In 2014, Busty and the Bass beat out hundreds of other musical acts to win CBC and TD Bank’s Rock Your Campus competition, earning the title of Canada’s Top University Band. Since then, the band has toured extensively across Canada, the United States, and Europe, and performed at festivals including Osheaga, Pinkpop, the Montreal International Jazz Festival, and Made in America.
Style
The band’s oeuvre is marked by pronounced horn lines, rich melodies, and a seamless blend of disparate genres. Compositionally, Busty and the Bass skew toward dance-centric music, incorporating elements from radio-friendly pop, modern jazz, and hip hop.
