The band first formed in 1998 when four friends: Roger, Dave, Pete & Daryl all music lovers from an early age, and all D.J's came together as a band. We wanted to try creating our own Funky Grooves that we had discovered from "sample spotting" the music we were in to, mainly from Hip-Hop. The band started really well, especially since with the exception of Pete we were all beginners on our instruments. We started with Booker.T tunes and went on to cover blues, jazz, soul, disco all sorts really. Over the next few years the band lost and gained different musicians due to life commitments etc and in early 2007 Roger, Dave & Pete were at loose ends so we started jamming again, turning a spare room into our studio. Later that year we found our singer, Alex & a few weeks later, our bass player, Dave(the bass). And our savage FunkMonster was born!
