Coppers for Karma

A hot mouthful of upbeat driving funk-a-billy

Greetings friends.
Kindly leave your preconceptions, your hangups, your gripes, your umbrella, your work stress and all that shit at the door.
Join us, if you will, on a journey - through dingy basements, to bland chain nightclubs and theme pubs, to warm comfy bedrooms smelling of makeup and hair products, to the London Underground, to the streets of foreign cities alive with the promise of adventure, to the countryside, to the backyard, to the stars... It's all here and more.
Take a telling cadence, a smooth run of guitar, a bassline to make your head bop and your nose tingle, a soaring vocal crying lyrics from the heart of life and love.
Our mission is to make great music, simple as, top to bottom, served straight up.
Grab a cushion, cuddle up with a green tea (and a cheez-whiz foldy), pass the joint to the left and enjoy some music straight from us to you, an expression of pure undistilled love for all of you, for us, for the world and all it's ugliness and beauty and ignorance and genius.
As a wiser man than me once challenged : if you're willing to change the world let love be your energy.
We hope you like. And maybe if you throw a few coins in our battered guitar cases you might find the universe smiling that much brighter on you. It doesn't cost much - karma for coppers.

Coppers for Karma are billed as “A hot mouthful of upbeat driving funkbilly”, and “The London threesome you most want to be part of”. Their energy and standard of musicianship on stage is matched by their versatility as writers and the imagination of their arrangements, and their aftershow parties are truly the stuff of legend. So what are you waiting for? Get down to a show, grab a spot near the front and prepare your badass self for a deluge of aural pleasure guaranteed to raise a smile, swivel the hips and loosen the bra-strap.I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V4.4 (www.strikefile.com/myspace)
