Having formed in 2008 The High Society are a 9 piece juggernaut that blur all musical lines. 3 MCs front a 6 member backline including some of Melbourne’s hottest musicians. At a show fan’s can expect to see hiphop and reggae, jazz, drum & bass, funk, rock and blues. with conscious lyrics sprinkled over intelligent music their ethos is to move minds and bodies. They have played such places as St Kilda Fest in 2010, The Hi-Fi Bar (supporting NZ's Katchafire), The Prince of Wales, The Laundry and The Rainbow Hotel, they have also held residencies at Veludo and Miss Libertine and have also headlined huge warehouse parties and other venues around town and have built a strong following. The frontline includes the soulful Hyina Mufasa, the energetic liquid lyricist J.waters and the gruff drawl of Jp. Backing them up are Harry Coulson on guitar, Jimmy Thompson on drums, Jesse Chin-Quan on bass and the cranking trio of Sax, Rob Simone, Kenny Hall and Lachlan Moffat rounds the collective out.
