Daria & The Hip Drops use Caribbean and Calypso influence with a pop/funk aesthetic to create catchy hooks and danceable upbeat tunes, similar to bands like Santigold, Vampire Weekend, TuNeYards, and The Talking Heads. The band is fronted by Daria Dzurik who plays steel drum, keys, and vocals for the group.
Dzurik and producer Graham Robinson brought together a collaboration of artists that provide backing grooves to create The Hip Drops, named after an old New Orleans R&B track by The Explosions. The band is currently based in New Orleans and is playing festivals and touring throughout the Southeast.
