Patawawa are a musical trio born out of the ashes of funk, soul and disco. From humble beginnings in the sleepy town of Matlock, Patawawa’s brand of infectious Nu Disco is spreading far beyond their home county.

Groovy baselines, sparkly guitar licks and whimsical interplay between male and female vocals stand them apart. Uncompromising in their desire to make listeners get up and dance, Patawawa have entrenched themselves firmly in the French Disco scene with a number of collaborations underway, while their tracks appear in summertime playlists and mixtapes by producers the likes of Zimmer.

Writing, recording and mastering their tracks in a tiny room underneath the staircase hasn’t stopped the band gaining a steadily growing fanbase from all corners of the world and recognition from local radio, BBC6, BBC Introducing and BBC R1.

Patawawa – Could Be Love

(Release Date June 2016)

Could Be Love is the lead single from Patawawa’s upcoming EP, Hold Tight, coming out later this summer.

Rocking their signature boy-girl harmonies and catchy guitar riffs, Could Be Love spins an innocent tale of love at first sight.
