UNDADOGG aka UMBRELLA MAFIA

A mix of indie alt-rock & trip hop with hints of drum and bass and break beats some reggae and dub vibes, moody melodies, dark atmospherics, heartbreaking lyrics and sultry female vocals. UNDADOGG‘s sound is familiar, but refreshingly unique and difficult to forget. UNDADOGG is singer/lyricist Andrea Lucarelli, twin brothers Ruben-guitar, and Remi Miguez-drums who have all been playing together since high school, newest member Sam Taormina and bassist TBD.

UNDADOGG create a mood that sets them apart from the masses. Music lovers and critics are easily won over after seeing UNDADOGG perform: “They can pull off sexiness without being raunchy. They’re just plain cool.”- Manuela Spizziri, Chart Attack CMW Review. UNDADOGG can also accommodate to smaller, more intimate venues by playing stripped down and acoustic, incorporating upright bass, djembe, acoustic guitar, accordion, flute, harmonica and xylophone.

UNDADOGG received a FACTOR demo grant to record their “Jinxed“ EP (2007) and worked with Juno nominated producer George Seara on that recording, as well as on “Open Up My Eyes” (2009), a Cd Single recently released under their new moniker UMBRELLA MAFIA. Lead Singer Andrea has also released a 3 song CD single collaboration entitled “Breathe“ with Toronto DJ duo Version Xcursion. The track debuted at 1 on CKLN’s electronic chart, and this past year collaborated on 2 new songs with VX for their “Best of” disc released in Nov 2008.

Over the years UNDADOGG have gained respect, credibility and established themselves as one of the few bands in Toronto doing something different. Playing the live circuit in a sea of pop, punk, metal and rock, UNDADOGG’s music can’t help but stand out and get noticed. Known for their captivating style, stage presence and alluring live shows; this band always leaves you wanting more…

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT UNDADOGG...

“A 5-piece, female-fronted, trip-hop band that is as dark and moody as it is hard rockin’.”
- Chart attack Magazine

“They’re the type of band that can set the stage full of candles without putting the audience to sleep. With heavy bass lines mixed with trippy drum beats and a sultry, sexy voice, how can you go wrong? They pull off sexiness without having to be dirty or raunchy. They're just plain cool.”
- Manuela Spizzirri, Chart attack Magazine, Canadian Music Week Live Review

“I found myself hypnotized by this erotic voice and in a trance by the rest of the bands instruments. I was reminded of great bands like The Cardigans or even No Doubt (before Gwen’s Holla Back Girl) I was locked!!!”
- Christopher "Alleyne" Rudder, Pulp Magazine

“Undadogg’s tales are reminiscent of the melancholy feeling of sadness present when two lovers part ways. It's great music to relax to on a hazy Sunday afternoon."
- Shine, Klublife Magazine

“There is an assured sexiness about the music and vocals, and a strong will behind each note and passion throughout to support the fact that whatever they bring forth next will be worth investigating.”
