BRITISH HIP HOP PIONEERS, THE HERBALISER, ARE BACK ON TOUR IN 2024.
Way back In January 1995, Ollie Teeba and Jake Wherry AKA The Herbaliser, a sample based beatmaking duo from Twickenham, South West London, released their debut 12” single ‘The Real Killer’ on UK label Ninja Tune. The pair were deeply immersed in hip hop culture and heavily into digging around in dusty record bins looking for funky samples. As well as jazz and soul records, they had a particular taste in old movie soundtracks, which would become a characteristic of their production sound.
They have since gone on to become regulars at a number of electronic, dance, dub and jazz festivals worldwide.
“Their trademark eerie, jazzy, trip hop sound is augmented by punchy, simple melodic hooks”
Now, in 2024, after something of a hiatus, The Herbaliser Band have reformed with original members Ralph Lamb (trumpet/flugelhorn), Andrew Ross (tenor/baritone sax/flute), (Micah Moody (drums), Patrick Dawes (percussion) with James Morton (Alto Sax)Oliver Parfitt (keyboards), Conor Cotterill (bass) & of course DJ Ollie Teeba on the turntables.
Please Note: Jake Wherry will not be appearing with The Herbaliser Band in 2024 and beyond.
