This working band is taking the grassroots approach to recognition, with independent management booking shows mostly in the southern & mid-west regions. College towns and big city clubs, as well as university greek functions, are the targeted markets. The Deep Jive Squad's main strength is their live performance because of their high enregy level and great stage prescence. 'It's real hard t'sit waaay down and watch dis band! Right on! Even some sucka in some ho'rible mood dat hates boogeyin' gots'ta find it hard not t'get down and shake deir dang wid some grin ear t'ear. Ah be baaad.....' Doyle Davis-91 FM D-Funk Show
DJS have just completed their first full-length recording that was produced by drummer and band leader, Darin 'slinky D' Masters and Lance Dibblee, A.K.A. Red Math, who has released material on Moonshine, Oxygen Music Works, Ninja Tune and Bomb Hip-Hop among others. DJS is currently seeking label support for their reocording and could end up busting beyond their southeast stomping grounds and onto the national stage if as much support is shown worldwide as there is in their own backyard!..
