The "2 BIT JIVE" juggernaut was formed when guitarist / vocalist / MC Pauly "Blues" Di Dio met bassist / guitarist / audio engineer Brian "Bassman" Kovacs in a local pizzeria. Soon the two would be playing at weekly jams with the likes of blues legends Little Sammy Davis and Midnight Slim (Delmark label) who inspired the young musicians to "get rollin' " in their own musical endeavors. The 2003 addition and completion of the 2 BIT JIVE line up was drummer / keyboardist / vocalist / golfer Tim "The Package" Conboy. Tim has helped to finish shaping the 2 BIT JIVE sound with his hard hitting drums. Now, Intertwining their various musical backgrounds, 2 BIT JIVE has a sound that is uniquely their own, a trait that is rare in today's music scene. The intense, emotional guitar playing and stylings of front man Paul Di Dio along with the deep melodic grooves of bassist Brian Kovacs, and the hard-hitting thunder of Tim Conboy's drums allow for a truly magical musical experience.

Their first work "Fadin" (c. 2004 DiDio) has been regarded by Brad Scribner (drummer-Little Sammy Davis / Mighdnight Slim) as "a hit waiting to happen." Their second work "Rain" (c. 2004 Kovacs/DiDio) has been said to sound like the perfect hybrid of classic and modern rock. Currently, 2 BIT JIVE is working on original material and playing in the Hudson Valley / New York bar scene. The band's primary goals are to continue composing and recording original material, finish their first full-length CD and take over the world!!!!
