PACIFIC BEACH VINYL (PBV) was a vinyl record shop focusing on new underground dance, electronic releases and essential reissues from 2014 to 2022, based in San Diego, California, USA.

Set up in 2009 by Sasha Patterson (Lead Vocals) and Tom Houghton (Drums) the band has been influenced by many genres of music, from Funk and Soul to Jazz, Reggae, Rare Groove, Latin breaks and more that this is felt within the music.

Starting out in the suburbs of London and Surrey, gigging in small bars and clubs, as the band has grown and built their name, they have performed at some of the UK's favourite music venues (Jazz Cafe, London; Charlie Wrights International,London; The Hootananny, Brixton) with covers of rare funk and groove tracks to more well known ones as well as their stomping original tracks.

Fronted by the power Soul and Funk vocals of lead singer/songwriter Sasha who captivates you not only with her voice but with her stage presence and warmth on the energetic live shows that the band perform, joining herare the infectious backing vocal section, with outstanding vocal harmonies, the power of what a 2 piece horn section can dointheform of Phil Chadney (Trumpet) and Simon Platts (Sax) and a fine rhythm section of Rick Butterfield (Guitar) Jon Mapp (Bass) and most recently on Keys we have the outstanding Dimitris Dimopoulos, you must experience the band when they perform live to feel the full grasp of what they are capable of.
