The Young Punx X Dizzee Rascal
4 videos • 47 views • by The Young Punx In 2009 - 2010, Hal Ritson of The Young Punx was music director (and bass / keys) for Dizzee Rascal's live band, and the band itself was made up of members of The Young Punx live band and regular punx studio musicians. Performing a legendary set at the BBC Electric Proms, along with BBC Live Lounge, Jools Holland and major festival dates including headlining Glastonbury, The Young Punx backed shows were a critical and commercial success. Focussed on widening Dizzee's demographic appeal (at more traditionally rock festivals such as Reading and Leeds) a showing Dizzee's broader musical interests, the Punx used their experience of mashup culture introduce rock, classical and funk live elements into the show. Everything in the shows was performed 100% live with no click track.
