Saturday 12th SeptemberFollowing up on the exciting out of town acts we've had the last two events (Bellercuche and Nick Pride and the Pimptones), Funk Machine proudly presents to you Das Contras. We discovered Das Contras through some contacts down in Edinburgh and as soon as the music came on we knew they were perfect for a Funk Machine party.Check out their latin stylings:DAS CONTRAS on MySpace Music - Free Streaming MP3s, Pictures & Music DownloadsDas Contras: a six-headed musical monster with a Latin temperament, an axe to grind, two devilish horns & a rock n roll heart.Born in Fife, nurtured in Stockholm and corrupted in Glasgow, Das Contras have been performing their unique funk/folk/jazz/rock since 2005. Since winning the PRS New Music Award in 2006 the band have played hundreds of concerts from Auld Reekie to New York.Live highlights include tour shows with Ozomatli, Acoustic Ladyland, Terry Callier, Marlena Shaw & Candi Staton and festivals in the US & Europe.As ever, your host Super Six Funk Machine will get the mood set with some top quality party funking. More new tracks for all you regulars to look out for too, so come along and get yourselves all funked up.Super Six Funk Machine on MySpace Music - Free Streaming MP3s, Pictures & Music Downloads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
