THE IMPELLERS LIVE IN LONDON - 6th June  (view more)

[View All Blog Entries]

   About The Impellers
Starting life as Ed Meme & The Forms, a name change to something far easier to pronounce came about when offered a deal by prolific UK label Freestyle Records in 2008.

The Impellers are bringing a heavy, heavy authentic funk sound both live and in the studio. Here's just some of the reaction to recent recordings:

"Really great ... really enjoyed that" - Mark Lamarr, BBC Radio 2

"Hard as Nails" - Snowboy

"Another cracking piece of modern funk" - Craig Charles, BBC 6Music

"Superb - easily the best new funk tracks i've heard since Baby Charles - these guys have the potential to be even better!" - Ian Wright (Deep Funk DJ, collector, album compiler & legend)

“...There are so many bands who inevitably go back to the root but are not always successful in providing the organic fruit, I feel you guys are an exception...” ‘Da Buzzboy’ Fitzroy – Solar FM

"Where is my fire drencher - that's hot!!!" Dusty / Jazz & Milk Rec.

The band features screaming hammond, true soul vocals, huge horns and a rhythm section producing more energy than a Dutch wind farm.

The Boiler Club Presents Unsigned Heroes SHAUGHNESSY /JUST FONTAINE Djay Damien Skelton. Live at Northampton’s Legendary Club Sat Oct 10th 08.00-12.30 Adm free.

SHAUGHNESSY will be playing tracks from his new album ”big wide world”

 

Shaughnessy is a musician from the North West of England. It seems an obvious thing to say but with Shaughnessy, the song is king. The constant pursuit of melody and hooks keeps Shaughnessy reaching for something classic. Usually pigeon-holed by the industry as falling somewhere between Paul Weller and Damien Rice, regardless of this Shaughnessy would instead like to say that he has influences that range from - Neil Finn, Ian Brown, Neil Young, Lennon and McCartney, The Beatles, Dr. John, Steve White, Philly Joe Jones, Keith Moon, Paul Weller, The Style Council, The Jam, The Who, The Kinks, The Small Faces, The Meters, Booker T and The MG's, The Funk Brothers, Galliano, Buena Vista Social Club, Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Art Pepper and The Rhythm Section and many more.... Shaughnessy has supported Ian McLagan and The Bump Band, The Christians, Jo

Man we would love to get you guys to Northampton so  I will keeping workingon things, okay, and if you are ver up for a strummerville gig let us know, thanks guys and love the funk. 

Hi Hi Hi, hey thanks for linking up with The Boiler Club and we love the sounds and ideas coming from the depths of cyber space. Thank God for technology that’s what we say.

 

Myspace has enabled The Boiler Club: Unsigned Heroes to listen to so much great music and link up with some great people who share our love and thoughts about live music and Djays who don’t play safe. Initially we were inspired by the do it yourself punk ethos and the late great John Peel and Joe Strummer.

 

We run a tiny tiny club just once a month and we have booked some so many fantastic bands through the Myspace medium.

 

So who are we? Well, we are two ole geezers (really) who are still out there spinning tiptop tunes and hosting a once a month night encouraging and
