  • Bio

    Growing up on the eastern coastline of Australia front man and soul behind the music of Pacha Mamma, Micka has risen to become a conscious music troubadour of the world."There is no other path for me, I am a vessel through which rhythm and melody pass through and my spirit brings it to life". Playing on his instruments of choice the Resonator Slide Guitar, Weissenborn Slide, Cajon Drum and guitars the thing that sets him apart from most is his touching powerful, soulful voice. Pacha Mamma as a band combines Roots – Rock, Blues, Reggae and Funk in a way that could only come out of the alternative, surf culture of Byron Bay, Australia. Joining Micka is - Nic Lemits on Bass is a groove stylist, an accomplished guitarist, bassist and sound engineer who previously worked with Marshall And The Fro. Grant Gerathy on Drums is a well sort after skinhitter amongst the Australian scene and has performed with many well known acts. Liam "Rasta" Dorney on Trumpet and Vocals is an eccentric stage performer who previously played with A French Butler Called Smith. In the Summer of 2011 Pacha Mamma recorded their 3 track EP Woman which has been played in over 27 countries and represented at SXSW festival in Austin Texas, Canadian Music Week and is played at the Quicksilver Pro Surf tour events around the world. Woman features special guests Olly Pescia on Drums, Renee Simone on Backing Vocals, Ali Hughes on vocals and Katie Kepron(Canada) - Vocals. Micka took his sound to Montreal Canada in 2011 to work with Grammy Award winning engineer Don Murnaghan and Aria Award winning producer Steve James in Byron Bay on their 1st album Piece Together Peace. There is no doubt anyone witness to Pacha Mamma on or off the stage will always be left with a sense of united brotherhood, conscious visions and a feeling that you're not so alone on this planet. With a worldly vision, mix Latin party time with island vibe, sweet grooves cook it up and you get Pacha Mamma. Contains ingredients everyone will find tasty.

Bio:

  • Web Banner

    Pacha Mamma is a Peruvian word meaning "Earth Mother" and is also the band name for these soulful Byron Bay, Australia based musicians. Harnessing a unique and eclectic mix of styles cooking together reggae, blues, roots-rock, and funk mixed with the flavours from the lap slide and Latin percussion, whilst unleashing the timbres of more than 10 different instruments from all over the world.


    Micka - is the writer, founding member and the soul behind the music. A world music troubadour who hasn't focused his sound on one style, however has the ability to create music that everyone will find an element in it they enjoy going from Roots-rock, reggae, blues and Latin styles throughout a set. Micka incorporates the sounds of the Cajon'(South America), Congas, Weissenborn Slide Guitar(Hawaii), resonator blues slide while doing live percussion and bass looping. With an absolutely distinct soulful, raspy voice his shows are as much about the vibe and the love he resonates as a person as it is the music itself, and was described by one Magazine as "a man with talent that needs to be heard live to be fully appreciated".


    Nic Lemits - On Bass is a fine musical craftsman, an accomplished guitarist, bass player and sound engineer who has previously worked with Indigo Frequency and Marshall and the Fro.


    Grant Gerathy - On drums is a groove stylist mastering R'nB', soul, funk and island time who has previously performed with The Cool Calm Collective and the Ray Mann Three.


    They have toured the East Coast of Australia extensively and have performed over 450 shows including shows with Ash Grunwald, Custom Kings, Oka and Wild Marmalade to name just a few. Having gone through a few lineup changes over the years from humble duo that Micka once fronted to the true musicianship that now paths the way.


    The summer of 2011 saw Pacha Mamma release their first studio single Woman which has been played on air in over 25 countries and represented Aus at SXSW Festival in Austin, Texas and Canadian Music Week. Pacha Mamma are currently recording their first EP which is full of hooks, Motown sound, Latin styles and true conscious soul. Pacha Mamma is a combination of experience and inspired life journeys to translate "real truth" through music that combines blues riffs with Spanish influence, Latin/African percussion and of course a heartfelt voice that will move your body, mind and spirit that leaves you with really “good vibes”.
