Portishead

influential female fronted band from bristol, uk. part of the trip hop genre with their laid back beats and cool scratching. their first alb-m “dummy” (1994) was praised by the media. and their second alb-m, “portishead” was welcomed warmly, although had quite a different sound to their first alb-m. it was more dark and disturbed. but still just as original and enjoyable with that distinct jazz-fusion meets hip-hop feel about it.
fans of portishead often also enjoy m-ssive attack, dj shadow, lamb, earthling, and goldfrapp.
the best band on earth
omg it’s portishead!
an under-the-skin pimple that you can’t see but you can feel and it hurts really, really bad.
man, i got this portishead on my face and it hurts like a m-th-r!
anything that is less than completely satisfactory.
that food was portishead!!
an influential but egocentric bunch of musicians from bristol in the uk.
renowed for their offensive, prima donna att-tudes to the staff of all venues unlucky enough to put them on. in fact their split was partly down to the fact no promotor or venue would touch them in the end.
“after last night, there is no way portishead are ever coming back to play here again”
