For a minute there I thought my cousin's husband's band was embarking on another worldwide summer tour, but I was looking at their schedule for last year. When they do get out here again everybody needs to come out to see them.

They're out of Chattanooga, and they've got a pretty unique sound. From their site:

Beginning its musical journey as a trio of guitar, bass, and drumset in 1999, Infradig has always defied classification. Pulling elements from jazz, hip hop, drum-n-bass, jungle, and any other style that suits their fancy, the Chattanooga, TN based band has molded a sound that is unique and sometimes challenging. Flowering into a quintet in the fall of 2001, Infradig has since seen its sound gel into a genre splicing mix of rich grooves, orchestrating analog and digital pallets seamlessly on stage. Pulling back to a quartet in Spring ‘03, Infradig is enjoying a newfound sonic unity; electro-funk-groove-hop, if you will. Infradig has performed
alongside such acts as Ulu, The Slip, King Johnson, Cadillac Jones, Col. Bruce Hampton, “Fathead” Newman, The Recipe, DJ Jahson, and Waterdeep.

Infradig's latest recording, entitled Kinetic Transfer, shows more clearly than ever Infradig's new direction and sense of genre splicing: orchestrating analogue and digital textures through complex composition with tasteful post-production tweaking and shaping. They have found a place between jazz/fusion and turntablism that satiates both the enthusiastic dancer and avid listener. It's been called electro-funk/groove-hop - hard to describe, but easy to recognize with heavy hitting grooves and bold forays into a realm rarely ventured by a band of live musicians in real-time.

Having performed club and festival dates all over the Southeast, infradig is working to strengthen its position in current markets, as well as develop new ones.
