Founding members Mark Howes and Chris Griggs had a vision of bringing the FUNK sounds of the 60's and 70's to Norwich, tearing the roof of the mother sucker in the process...!!!!
In a previous line up we played the King Street festival attracting the attention of many other like minded musicians who wanted to be in the funky revolution.....With a number of changes on the bass we finally found the child of Motown's James Jameson, Kieran Brennan and slotted him into the mix of wah-wah and punchy funk rhythms...
At a rehearsal we stumbled across a jazz poster with Miss Lauren Dove's details...we called and she strutted in a blew our minds with the dirty funk and soul in her voice....We were now a unit..!!!
Over the last 2 years we have had guest players come in and add to our sound. We now have a core rhythm section that funks out on every beat and guest horns scream to get up to get down..... so kick back, dig...while we do it to you in your ear drums.....
hey guys. you really do tear the roof off the sucker. Lovin the sound. I do love myself a bit of the funk. All round great musicians and vocals. I'll have to check you out.
