UNDADOGG aka UMBRELLA MAFIA
A female fronted, five piece Toronto band, incorporating trip hop, indie alt-rock, dark atmospherics, hints of drum and bass and break beats, reggae and dub, moody melodies, heartbreaking lyrics and sultry vocals, UNDADOGG‘s sound is familiar, but refreshingly unique and difficult to forget. UNDADOGG is singer/lyricist Andrea Lucarelli, twin brothers Ruben-guitar, and Remi Miguez-drums who have all been playing together since high school, newest member Sam Taormina and bassist TBD.
UNDADOGG’s live performance always satisfies their ever-growing fan base. Appealing to an odd mismatch of indie rockers, electronica fans, hip hoppers, goths, and even punks, UNDADOGG create a mood that sets them apart from the masses. Music lovers and critics are easily won over after seeing UNDADOGG perform: “They can pull off sexiness without being raunchy. They’re just plain cool.”- Manuela Spizziri, Chart Attack CMW Review. UNDADOGG can also accommodate to smaller, more intimate venues by playing stripped down and acoustic, incorporating upright bass, djembe, acoustic guitar, accordion, flute, harmonica and xylophone.
UNDADOGG have released 4 independent discs to date; “Ano De Dolor” (1999) “Jinx” (2005), “Jinxed“ (2007) in which they received a FACTOR demo grant to record the album, and “Open Up My Eyes” (2009) a Cd Single under the new moniker UMBRELLA MAFIA. On the last 2 releases, UNDADOGG worked with Juno nominated producer George Seara to create their best recordings to date. Lead Singer Andrea has also released a 3 song CD single collaboration entitled “Breathe“ with Toronto DJ duo Version Xcursion. The track debuted at 1 on CKLN’s electronic chart, and this past year collaborated on 2 new songs with VX for their “Best of” disc released in Nov 2008.
Over the years UNDADOGG have gained respect, credibility and established themselves as one of the few bands in Toronto doing something different. Playing the live circuit in a sea of pop, punk, metal and rock, UNDADOGG’s music can’t help but stand out and get noticed. Known for their captivating style, stage presence and alluring live shows; this band always leaves you wanting more…
