Eight musicians with tailored suits and three singers dressed as Twiggy.
Not likely, but The Pepper Pots are of Girona.
And one of the most promising national pop, although his name sound more in Tokyo or Moscow than in Barcelona.
They left heeled Jamaican sounds for the soul and now have Catalan as the answer to Eli Paperboy Reed and Black Joe Lewis.
The Pepper Pots can boast of being one of the most internationally renowned Spanish groups.
His recreation of ska, reggae (on their first recordings) and the soul of the 60's, has led the Catalan large band to perform in Japan, USA and most of Europe.
Their new album, Train To Your Lover, is the best I have posted so far.
This group formed in 2002 Girona, are challenged to get the sound and aesthetics of Jamaican bands of the sixties, which made the dance floor vibrate at the time.
It has three female voices (Prunell Adriana, Aya Sima and Marina Towers), supported by seven excellent musicians: Joan Verges (drums), Enric Fluvià (bass), Lluis Rodriguez (guitar), Irenaeus Grosset (keyboard), Tommy Munoz (tenor saxophone) Gerard Xifra (baritone saxophone) and Roger Montsant (trumpet).
Accompanied by a rhythm section and a horn section, the female vocal trio reminiscent of others who became famous in the 60's like The Supremes and The Marvelettes.
The musical style of The Pepper Pots range from ska, rocksteady and reggae of their early records to the R & B and Motown soul of their latest productions.
With two years of existence had already shared the stage with Jamaican artists as important as Laurel Aitken, Winston Francis, Derrick Morgan, Dave Barke and Tena Stelin, as well as with national and international artists of the genre.
