British trip-hop group Portishead broke out during a mid-1990's wave of electronic innovation occurring in their hometown of Bristol. Their gloomy, jazzy sound managed to set them apart from Bristol contemporaries like techno pioneer Tricky and drum 'n bass guru Roni Size, and they soon gained a dedicated following. The band performs sixteen of their songs, including the hits "Numb" and "Sour Times".
