The Suitable Few: Adikkal, Balistik, Nikk, Wayne and Matt

BIOGRAPHY

The Suitable Few are a Sydney based five piece live band. Blending the phat grooves of hip hop with elements of funk,jazz and swing their show has become renowned for their audience driven 'Topic Jams' where the crowd are asked to suggest topics which are then transformed into an improvised song. Fronted by MCs Adikkal and Balistik (both Nu Func MC Battle Champions) The Suitable Few consist of Nikk on Guitar,Wayne on the Drums and Matt "Flatsticks" Bond on Bass. After several months of performing as a band they have developed their live sound and in the process created demand for a recording.

This recording was made all the more possible after Adikkal,Balistik and E-Dawg (the band's producer) won a radio competition in which the entrants were required to write and submit a track with a road safety message.This timely win helped to fund the bands debut self-titled E.P which was the first step towards solidifying their presence in the Australian music scene. In July 04,the Self Titled EP was launched to a sold out crowd at The Metro.Since then they have played a multitude of live shows with acts such as The Herd, Bliss n Eso, Fizard, Hermitude, Gerling and Spiderbait. After playing shows in Wollongong and Canberra the band have been spreading the Suitable style, planting seeds in the form of EP's, further than the boundaries of Sydney City.

The enthusiastic response to this independently produced EP meant that in time,the limited copies pressed were all but gone,however with a stroke of luck, Peter Pasqual (head of Creative Vibes )heard the CD and decided that Australia deserved to hear The Suitable Few and lined up a distribution deal.
