The PB Underground is the big buzz in London’s funk world, having blasted onto the scene in November 2008 with a debut sell-out show at London’s Dean St venue Maya.

What started as a first gig to get the band off the ground in front of the faithful funk following, transformed into a full-blown launch once word had got round of what the band had put down in a couple of spontaneous late night sessions at Abbey Road. With the club packed full of press, music industry veterans, and a whole host of the funk loving public, the band’s reputation as a musical fireball of energy was created on the first beat, and things didn’t get close to letting up for the rest of the show. London’s funk revival was born
Pete Biggin explains how the band got together...
“The essence of this band was born during the Bahrain Formula One crowd shows we did back in April last year. I’d heard of this fantastic horn section who we invited to fly out with us to play on the shows, and right from the first rehearsal we knew the collection of musicians we had together in the room was something special. There was just this amazing vibe, everyone was playing right at the top of their game for the whole week, it was like we were all pushing each other to perform at our best and beyond – and we did!”

Pete’s a drummer with a feel and technique that not only make him among London’s elite, but also that make him unique – uniquely a musician who is a huge musical personality but first and foremost a band member, communicating with the band with an energy which keeps the audience glued to the stage. So much so that he’s kept audiences glued to the stage, screen, and radio with studio, video and live playing for Amy Winehouse, Chaka Khan, Mark Ronson and Incognito during the last 3 years.
