XL the Band
Artist
XL The Band is the hip hop /jazz/ alternative fusion side project of 4-time JUNO Award winning Vancouver group Swollen Members. The members of XL have decades of live experience rocking audiences of tens of thousands on festival main stages, playing in orchestras, and winding up jazz clubs.
In their first half a year of releasing music, XL have had their songs and music videos streamed almost 1,000,000 times, have been selected to perform at multiple prominent festivals, and have secured booking representation that will result in a European tour to coincide with their debut album release in April 2020.
XL The Band is comprised of Prevail and Rob The Viking from Swollen Members, vocalist/flutist Liesa Norman from The Leisure Principle, David Spidel on the strings, and Neph from Alpha Omega (alongside Prevail).
“XL The Band combines the groove-based rhythms, catchy melodies, avant-garde flute, synth/keys, and then filters it through a hip-hop lense to creates something truly unique and original.”
