Movin' On Up
In certain corners, “funky” is a four-letter word. But Burlington’s the Move It Move It are converting even the most left-footed frowners with simmering elements of Afrobeat, reggae and pop. Their steamy, danceable stew has stirred up quite a local buzz in recent months. Maybe because the band puts the f-u-n in funky? Whatever the reason, TMIMI wrap up a monthlong residency at Nectar’s this Tuesday. - Seven Days - Burlington, VT

Bio
The brainchild of Burlington, Vermont based singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Robin Sunquiet, "The Move it Move it" offers up an original blend of catchy afro-pop tunes painted with reggae and electronica hues, that is heavily influenced by many different strains of world music. Each member of the band brings to the table a strong unique sound that results in a dance floor erupting party featuring sweet, instantly addictive grooves and melodies, and almost tribal like vocal chants. The band’s live show is guaranteed to make you move it, and will have you begging for more!
Here are some recent comments about the band from Burlington based restaurant/venue owner and music connoisseur, Benjy Adler...
"In my humble opinion, these cats are the hottest band to come out of Burlington in 2010. They're some kind of mix between afropop, reggae and techno-rock. Their sound is crisp, clean, original....The Move It Move It are worth having on your radar."
