Define your genre in five words or less:
Hot, sweaty, dirty/sexy, funkin’ soul.
Bearing the terrible clichéd nature of this question, what do you reckon people will say you sound like?
Like Curtis Mayfield had a baby with Amy Winehouse, Prince, Etta James and Adele.
What can a punter expect from your live show?
Big soulful vocals, sexy saxophone solos and FUNK! You are gonna want to dance!
What inspires or has influenced your music the most?
We write from the heart, but it would be silly of us not to list the great funk/soul musicians of the ‘60s and ‘70s as major influences. We also get a lot of buzz from the Melbourne soul scene, it gives us a lot of inspiration.
What part of making music excites you the most?
The first time we play a new song, and people love it and vibe off it that’s awesome, that is why we do what we do. To move people and so that people can connect.
Where would you like to be in five years?
European/US tours and massive festival gigs in Australia. Oh, and a gold record or two would be nice.
If you could go on tour with any musician or band, who would it be?
James Brown, Joss Stone, Fat Freddy’s drop, Aretha Franklin, Curtis Mayfield, Clairy Brown and the Bangin’ Rackquttes, Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings.
When’s the gig and with who?
Saturday April 19 at The Workers Club in Fitzroy. It’s a massive Easter funk/soul party with the most amazing lineup! Stevie and The Sleepers, Papa G and the Starcats, alone with Tiger, DJ Saul Knight and Mayfield of course! Doors open at 7.30pm. Party goes all night. $10 at the door.
