The Law (United States Band)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Law is a five-piece band from Narragansett, Rhode Island, United States that mixes elements of rock, blues, funk, soul, traditional country and hip-hop. Members of The Law have recorded with or opened for Del Tha Funkee Homosapien, Ziggy Marley and the Melody Makers, John Cafferty and the Beaver Brown Band|, Akrobatik, Kool Keith, Mr. Lif, Rustic Overtones, Blackalicious, Talib Kweli, Sage Francis, The Radiators, Everclear, and Badfish.[citation needed]

The Law was formed in May 2006 when bassist/producer Low B and turntablist/poet Andy Minty began the recordings of what would eventually be The Law EP. On the basis of these, they recruited vocalist Amber Bettez and guitarists Mike Schiavone and Andy Van Hemilreijk. After a number of member changes on drums and keyboards and a number of gigs around New England, The Law finally took its final form with the addition of drummer Dave Delmonico in March 2007, just after the release of their first EP in February.
