About Me

MyGen Profile Generator
Great Beast is a Radical Funk Orchestra* based in the San Francisco Bay Area that weaves a mesmerizing web of Jazz, Rock, Funk, and various World music elements. The band effortlessly navigates through captivating original songs brimming with funky grooves, tight horn arrangements, melodic hooks, and instrumental jams. The music generates an electric vibe that energizes audiences who cannot help but dance.

More than just a musical dynamo that will make you dance, jump, sing, smile and think (sometimes even all at the same time!), Great Beast is committed to promoting and working for peace, equality, social justice, environmental responsibility and some other good stuff.

*Great Beast reserves the right to change musical styles without prior notice, even if that means playing post-modern thrash polka or other commercially viable styles.
