Distinctly inspired by the resurging popularity in the neo soul movement, the members of the band were initially brought together to create a nondescript project inspired by their love of groove music and &#8216;behind the beat&#8217; rhythms.<\/p>\n<p><em>Sweeps<\/em> quickly found themselves passionately composing during late night sessions influenced by artists such as Erykah Badu, Snarky Puppy, Jill Scott, Robert Glasper and Chris Dave. After a time of experimentation and consistent repurposing of compositions and arrangements, the group agreed that their goal was to experiment with establishing unique and complex instrumental sections that would compliment the rich tone and melodies of vocalist Jessica Wilson.<\/p>\n<p>With word of an EP on the way, excitement is brewing about this fresh and funky quintet. We feel honoured that they will be joining our show at The Evelyn so be sure to catch their set at around 8:30pm and get <em>swept up<\/em>\u00a0in\u00a0their infectious groove.<\/p>\n<div class=\"jetpack-video-wrapper\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"SWEEPS - Broken Rule\" width=\"660\" height=\"371\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/PQgpLAFcvgM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<div data-animation=\"swing\" data-icons-animation=\"no-animation\" data-overlay=\"\" data-change-size=\"\" data-button-size=\"1\" style=\"font-size:1em!important;display:none;\" class=\"supsystic-social-sharing supsystic-social-sharing-package-flat supsystic-social-sharing-content supsystic-social-sharing-content-align-center\" data-text=\"\"><a data-networks=\"[]\" class=\"social-sharing-button sharer-flat sharer-flat-3 counter-standard without-counter facebook\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Facebook\" href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fnorthtonerecords.com%2Fblog%2F2015%2F07%2F07%2Fplaying-with-sweeps%2F\" data-main-href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer.php?u={url}\" data-nid=\"1\" data-name=\"\" data-pid=\"1\" data-post-id=\"57\" data-url=\"http:\/\/northtonerecords.com\/blog\/wp-admin\/admin-ajax.php\" rel=\"nofollow\" data-mailto=\"\"><i class=\"fa-ssbs fa-ssbs-fw fa-ssbs-facebook\"><\/i><div class=\"counter-wrap standard\"><span class=\"counter\">2<\/span><\/div><\/a><a data-networks=\"[]\" class=\"social-sharing-button sharer-flat sharer-flat-3 counter-standard without-counter twitter\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Twitter\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/share?url=http%3A%2F%2Fnorthtonerecords.com%2Fblog%2F2015%2F07%2F07%2Fplaying-with-sweeps%2F&text=Get+swept+up\" data-main-href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/share?url={url}&text={title}\" data-nid=\"2\" data-name=\"\" data-pid=\"1\" data-post-id=\"57\" data-url=\"http:\/\/northtonerecords.com\/blog\/wp-admin\/admin-ajax.php\" rel=\"nofollow\" data-mailto=\"\"><i class=\"fa-ssbs fa-ssbs-fw fa-ssbs-twitter\"><\/i><div class=\"counter-wrap standard\"><span class=\"counter\">0<\/span><\/div><\/a><a data-networks=\"[]\" class=\"social-sharing-button sharer-flat sharer-flat-3 counter-standard without-counter googleplus\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Google+\" href=\"https:\/\/plus.google.com\/share?url=http%3A%2F%2Fnorthtonerecords.com%2Fblog%2F2015%2F07%2F07%2Fplaying-with-sweeps%2F\" data-main-href=\"https:\/\/plus.google.com\/share?url={url}\" data-nid=\"3\" data-name=\"\" data-pid=\"1\" data-post-id=\"57\" data-url=\"http:\/\/northtonerecords.com\/blog\/wp-admin\/admin-ajax.php\" rel=\"nofollow\" data-mailto=\"\"><i class=\"fa-ssbs fa-ssbs-fw fa-ssbs-google-plus\"><\/i><div class=\"counter-wrap standard\"><span class=\"counter\">0<\/span><\/div><\/a><a data-networks=\"[]\" class=\"social-sharing-button sharer-flat sharer-flat-3 counter-standard without-counter linkedin\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Linkedin\" href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/shareArticle?mini=true&title=Get+swept+up&url=http%3A%2F%2Fnorthtonerecords.com%2Fblog%2F2015%2F07%2F07%2Fplaying-with-sweeps%2F\" data-main-href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/shareArticle?mini=true&title={title}&url={url}\" data-nid=\"13\" data-name=\"\" data-pid=\"1\" data-post-id=\"57\" data-url=\"http:\/\/northtonerecords.com\/blog\/wp-admin\/admin-ajax.php\" rel=\"nofollow\" data-mailto=\"\"><i class=\"fa-ssbs fa-ssbs-fw fa-ssbs-linkedin\"><\/i><div class=\"counter-wrap standard\"><span class=\"counter\">0<\/span><\/div><\/a><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our second act of the night at our\u00a0launch event this Sunday (12th of July) is Melbourne progressive soul quintet Sweeps.
