KINKY WIZZARDS are a jazz rock trio from Cardiff formed by Ryan ELLIOTT, Mathew GRIFFITHS and Jonathan GRIFFITHS in 2004. The group has been active in spreading their brand of fun and exciting instrumental jazz rock for a while and started releasing albums in 2014. Solid reputation on the musical scene gave them a chance at opening shows for members of THE MOTHERS OF INVENTION and playing to PINK FLOYD's Nick MASON at London drum show for example.
Kinky Wizzards is one more addition to the list of quality bands exploring one of the many paths inside the spectrum of instrumental progressive rock. In their case operating out from a hard rock foundation and applying jazz and jazzrock elements to it. They do so with a natural ease, and those with an interest in instrumental bands blending elements from those two universes inside a progressive rock context can safely add this band to their list of material that merits a listen.
