   About Big Beat Tornado




Big Beat Tornado is a high octane, nine-piece funk band from Reading, Pennsylvania (one hour west of Philadelphia).

Built on a groove-driven rhythm trio, fronted by dual female voices, and backed by a high- powered, four-piece horn section, Big Beat Tornado delivers a blend of original material and interpretations of funky favorites from Franklin to Fishbone. For the last five years, BBT has spread their infectious "Funk for New Generation" regionally from Manhattan to the Delaware shores, leaving behind a trail of feather boas, sequins and exhausted fans.

As a follow-up to their first release "Groovopolis", the band looks forward to releasing a new full-length CD in late 2009. For booking or more information, check out www.bigbeattornado.com or www.myspace.com/bigbeattornado
