Hipstamatics are a party band with a difference.
They take iconic well known tunes and reinterpret them into an authentic vintage soul/funk style.
Elements of Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, Aretha Franklin and James Brown are evident in the sound.

Comprising three lead vocals and a horn section this 9 piece band will surely get a party started.
