The Pendletons are a long-standing boogie-funk and modern soul project of E da Boss (of Myron and E on Stone’s Throw) and Trailer Limon. The group emerged with their very first release in 2010, a 7″ inch of “Coming Down/Waiting On You” on the Slept On record label, which set the tone for the group to emerge… it instantly became a cult classic receiving constant play at nights like Sweater Funk and Funkmosphere, and fetching for serious sums among collectors. In 2016 they released the EP “Gotta Get Out”. The title track caught the ear of renowned DJ Gilles Peterson, who liked it enough to release it on his Brownswood Bubbler compilation.
2018 saw the release of their “Funk Forever” EP, on New York label Bastard Jazz Recordings. The successful and much-loved EP and 12” created an intense demand for a full length follow up, which came in the form of 2019’s “2 Steps Away” LP, the first full-length project from the duo. Now armed with a horn section, a vast array of accomplished jazz and funk contributors, and a knack for quality song-writing, the Pendleton’s sound has shaped into something fresh and unique, setting it apart from the legions of imitators.
