“Wonderfully dark, paranoid vision of electro pop.” Dazed & Confused “One of 2011 finest releases” – Stool Pigeon “Philosophising Canadian four-piece Azari & III are the dance the dance band of 2011” Mixmag Having met on the glamour strip of Queens Street West in Toronto, Canada, Azari and III live by an anything-goes ethos, their music is bold, brash, packed with hooks and full of character. The infusion of pounding funk induced beats offset by soulful lead vocals is accompanied by a doom-laden diva image; together they defy all stereotypes and categories. Live, the band have been causing waves amongst the blogosphere and music press alike since emerging as one of the must-see festival acts of 2011, hitting the stages of Glastonbury, Lovebox and Sonar to name a few. Azari & III are spontaneous and hedonistic, on stage there are no rules, expect the unexpected; whether voguing on impromptu catwalks or chanting incantations – half demon, half diva – Azari & III have created a juggernaut of a live show in their own brooding landscape.
