Pruitt Igoe is a unique band based in San Diego, CA, that combines spoken word, jazz, electronica, and various music genres to create a captivating and emotive landscape for poetry and dance. Led by Ted Washington on vocals and synthesizer, the band collaborates with Krista Coppedge on trumpet and synthesizer, Jon Cordova on guitar, and Andromeda Breeze on dance, exploring themes of love, drugs, nihilism, and socio-economic casting.
With a fusion of sound and spoken words, Pruitt Igoe pays homage to the infamous Pruitt-Igoe Housing Project in St. Louis, Missouri, which was once considered a marvel in architecture but ultimately became a crime-plagued ghetto. The band's performances are a collision of beauty and darkness, offering a thought-provoking experience that delves into the complexities of urban life and societal issues.
