LabRats

Watch LabRats

The band came together out of necessity in order to unify and bridge gaps between musicians of all types. LabRats challenges their listener’s perception of “jazz,” as they embody a wide range of styles and influences ranging from Alice Coltrane, J Dilla, Soulquarians, and Sun Ra. At a live show, the band exudes a wonderful on-stage charm as they hypnotize the audience with colorful synth-scapes, syncopated drums, and fierce improvisation.

LabRats also perform throughout the pacific northwest. In just under two years, the band has been recognized by NPR, the Grammy Awards for three different categories, and has participated in major music festivals in Sacramento and San Jose. The band has also opened for amazing acts such as Talib Kweli, Luke Titus trio, NNAMDI, and more and sold out several headlining shows.
