http://www.thieverycorporation.com
I just discovered this group on download.com. Man, they are pretty good. Is anyone familiar with their work?

I own all that they've ever released! I love them to death! Their latest, 'Radio Retaliation', is awesome too!

Also, they're quite an act to see live! Nothing you would expect from an electronic band.....they preform with a full-blown band!

I have a few of their albums and enjoy listening to them. I haven’t picked up Radio Retaliation yet.
Been gone for a minute, now I'm back with the jump off

I picked them up in 1997 already, soon after the release of their debut Sounds Of The Thievery Hi-Fi..... cool

They also own a nice club in Washington, DC - Eighteenth Street Lounge. It's definitely the hippest club in DC and one of the best on the East Coast. I play there a few times every year, and it's always the best gig ever. Thievery are big oldschool Funk fans ..

Yeah, I used 2 hang there back in the mid-late '90s... I was good friends with them, and they knew me musically, so I was always treated well at 18th ST Lounge.

Good guys, great venue. Three floors, always good live music on the top floor. The DJ set up is a bit strange as you can't see the floor while you spin .. but the joint is always packed, 800 or more. They still enforce a tough dress code, one time a friend of mine couldn't get in because he had sneakers on. He was on my guestlist, but they still wouldn't let him in. biggrin
