Ed Meme & The Forms - ProfilesArchive

About Me

Ed Meme & The Forms were formed late in 2006 by producer and musician Glenn Fallows to indulge a love of scratchy, heavy, dirty old funk. Inspired by playing at Madame Jojo's with Keb Darge, whilst doing the circuit in London, and from hunting down some of the whoringest, naughtiest and not-for-the-feint-heartedest funk tracks since, Ed Meme & The Forms has essentially become a cheaper and more pleasurable alternative to going into therapy.

Featuring dirty hammond, searing soul vocals, heavy horns and a rhythm section that drives like Satan's own Maserati, this is a live experience you can't afford to miss ...
... And music you can afford to buy ... from here:'Just Enough Rope' EP - Debut EP release Feb '08
