Pimp Bizkit is a dynamic tribute band based in Los Angeles, CA, dedicated to celebrating the iconic sound and energy of the Nu-metal pioneers Limp Bizkit. Formed in 2024, the band was founded by Raanen Bozzio, son of legendary drummer Terry Bozzio(Missing Persons, Frank Zappa) known as “Raan Otto”, along with prominent LA session musicians, Sean “Durst” Giebitz, Jack “Borland” Glazer, and
Curt “Rivers” Remington—who shared a deep appreciation for Limp Bizkit’s genre-defining blend of rap, metal, and high-octane live performances. Pimp Bizkit quickly carved out a niche in the Southern California music scene, delivering electrifying shows that capture the raw intensity, rebellious spirit, and nostalgic vibe of the late ‘90s and early 2000s nu-metal era.
Pimp Bizkit’s performances are a love letter to Limp Bizkit’s chaotic and cathartic live shows. The band meticulously recreates the nu-metal giants’ signature sound, blending crunchy guitar riffs, hip-hop-infused vocals, and pulsating rhythms. Their setlists span Limp Bizkit’s extensive catalog, featuring fan favorites like “Break Stuff,” “Nookie,” “Rollin’,” and “My Way,” alongside deeper cuts for diehard fans. The band also pays homage to Limp Bizkit’s visual aesthetic, incorporating elements like bold stage outfits and high-energy theatrics to evoke the spirit of the original act.
Since their formation, Pimp Bizkit has performed at various venues, including clubs, and regional festivals, earning a reputation for their infectious energy and ability to get crowds moving. Their shows are marked by a sense of nostalgia, appealing to both longtime Limp Bizkit fans and younger audiences discovering nu-metal’s enduring appeal. Along with a verbal blessing from Limp Bizkit’s very own Fred Durst and John Otto, the band’s commitment to authenticity—down to the attitude, sound, and stage presence—sets them apart in the tribute band circuit. Get ready to party like it’s Woodstock ‘99!
