The Pimps of Joytime

THE PIMPS OF JOYTIME IN CONCERT:The best part of seeing The Pimps Of Joytime in concert is that you never know what to expect. The Brooklyn-based quintet doesn't confine themselves to just one or even two genres -- anything is fair game, meaning ticket buyers are in for surprising, rollicking spectacles. Even the band's stellar recordings don't fully convey their soulful, funky energy -- this is music that's meant to be experienced live. Whether they're making the floors shake with the hip-hop-infused "Janxta Funk", shaking their hips to the mambo-influenced "Bonita", or sparking dance-offs with the groovy club anthem "Booty Text", The Pimps Of Joytime pack personality and passion into each of their shows, leaving crowds grooving all night long.

Pimps of Joytime put on an entertaining show, mostly funky and bordering on trance-y at times. They have a great rhythm section, with a super-tight drummer and a Sheila E-style conga player who occasionally transitioned into some tribal grooves. A few songs made it obvious that they were playing to a track with some instrumentalists who clearly weren't on stage, but maybe that's just their stripped-down touring lineup (they're originally from Brooklyn, NY). However the opening act, Con Brio, was every bit as good and entirely live. Con Brio put on a nonstop dance-funk groove, fronted by a lead singer who's the second coming of Michael Jackson. Definitely try to catch these guys if you can.

Solid fun show, really great crowd. Halloween craziness. Compared to when I saw them last year, PJT added more rock and EDM elements to their range of sound, which is probably a good thing to keep the sound fresh and diverse as they keep moving forward. But, PJT is at their very best when they bring da funk, which they did in SF no doubt, so I hope they never leave that as their core.
