About Dance Hall Pimps

Created in February 2009 by blues singer/songwriter RJ See and guitarist Jeff Jourard (formerly of The Motels), the Dance Hall Pimps are a show band playing original music that ranges from blistering blues to rockabilly, from groovy sinister rock to New Orleans-style stomps and a genre they like to call Gothspel. Their inspirations include The Kinks, The Cramps, Electric Flag, and the unseen dark side of the Preservation Hall Jazz Band. The killer horn section of “Brother” Bruce Mann and Steve Carr is inspired by the screaming sax in X-Ray Spex and the jumpin’ horns of the Louis Jordan Orchestra. Mann also plays organ, drawing inspiration from Alan Price and Baby Face Willette, but delivering a distinct Bruce Mann style that is both melodic and percussive.

Lakeshore Records signed the Dance Hall Pimps in 2010. The band’s debut LP is being produced by Grammy winner Matt Hyde (Porno for Pyros, Cypress Hill) and Rob Hill (Korn, Soul Assassins, Xzibit, Wu-Tang Clan, Cypress Hill, Queen, Jackson Browne).
