The band's super-tight sound came the old fashioned way - from constant gigging, jamming, rehearsing and refining.From supporting Candi Staton and Youngblood Brass Band, to playing at the Gateshead International Jazz Festival, the groups reputation has grown since its birth in 2007.Been listening to the samples on myspace and they're good!!! The radio interview tells you about them a bit, nice idea. We're getting pretty lucky with some great bookings!Super Six Funk Machine Party Funk at it's finest. Back to our full line up for this one - 3 vocalists, bass, drums, sax/keys. Check out our stuff on Super Six Funk Machine on MySpace Music - Free Streaming MP3s, Pictures & Music DownloadsDJ set from QBC + TBC.FUNK MACHINE ....

FatHand Posted July 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2009 This is going to be a great gig. We're starting to attract some great out of town acts now so come along and enjoy the talent. Plenty more in the pipeline and the more people we get along to these shows the more money we can pump back in to get the more expensive acts up to Aberdeen.If you were at the Belleruche show, you'll know that we put on a good night!

FatHand Posted July 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 Half the month to go so bump.We just finished writing a new track last night so we will definitely be airing this for the first time at this show. Just a little bit of shine to put on it and tighten the screws. There are at least 2 or 3 other tracks we are working on so we hope to have at least one more by the 14th.Hope you can make it down and get your funk on.
