San Francisco indie-soul outfit Dirty Boots used to be a trio, but now they are a two-piece. That hasn't changed the fact that they really bring it live, it's only forced them to get more creative. Their tunes are mellow and lean more in the jazz camp than funk, and yet with only two members they find ways to really fill the songs out, and give each arrangement a lush and eclectic edge. That's because the two members work double time--literally. Rachel Lastimosa plays the piano and guitar, while James Dumlao plays the drums and trumpet. And they both sing. Their songs are poetic, thoughtful, uplifting, political and just feel good. They put out their first record in 2011, and are raising funds to work on the follow up right now. (Aaron Carnes)
