Esteban call it Desert Funk. It's what happens when you want to dance! to get up and get down to dirty funk beats, to be taken on a journey through lyrical landscapes that transport you to the hills of Santiago and the beaches of South East Asia.
Just after 11pm on 12th October 2002, deadly acts of terrorism occurred in the backpacking district of Kuta on the island of Bali, Indonesia. Around late night camp fires, stories were told and thoughts exchanged about the world and its ways. Four young musicians on a life changing voyage to South East Asia felt like their eyes were being fully opened to the world in which they lived. Amongst beautifully chaotic surroundings they found what they believed in and came to a decision…
With touring firmly in their blood, Esteban have appeared alongside Gomez, Chumbawamba and the Young Knives. On the road is where you'll be captivated by vocalist Stephen's enigmatic performances and crazy dance moves.
“The band is like an extended family and there is no better feeling than creating and performing with your best friends.” Says bassist Ricky whose uncle used to play sax in Charlie Watts' (of The Rolling Stones) jazz band. Ricky grew up hanging out with musicians. “To Ricky: Merry Christmas from B.B. King” reads the postcard. Guitarist Liam is a Grade 8 classical guitarist who traveled to Cuba in order to play with Buena Vista Social Club guitarist Eliades Ochoa. Just listen to Liam's wonderful finger picking style of playing to understand that Esteban are truly original. Drummer Muel adds: “One ethos surrounding Esteban is innovation and imagination, lyrically the best messages are the simplest, that way they reach everyone positively".
Enchanted by gloriously addictive pop hooks your senses are reminded of Chili's, Jamiroquai, Bee Gees, Crosby Stills Nash & Young, Bob Marley and The Police.
Esteban's debut EP ‘Santiago’ has already created waves on both sides of the Atlantic since its release in 2008 on The Animal Farm.
