The Mosa Funk Club is a funky communications collective, straight from the heart of the east end of Glasgow, with a fierce ambition and a commitment to keeping rhythm, rhyme and soul at the forefront of their agenda.
Firstly, a word of advice. If your idea of funk begins and ends with the theme tune from Shaft, retro silver hot pants or Huggy Bear's latest strides, forget it: this is the genuine article - musical tourists and posturing scenesters out for the next shallow trend to follow do not interest us. Sure we take inspiration from the greats - Brown, Mayfield, Clinton - but its a deconstructed, destroyed, mashed up and rebuilt take on funk thats decidedly this century.
Akin to the champion boxer the MFC attack the staid music scene with a full frontal - stinging rhythmical blows from the lean and hungry, growl of a live band has the competition running for cover. Rest assured, the whole MFC experience is a revelation to the uninitiated; a potent package in the most righteous of hands.
Recent Mosa Funk Club campaigns include:
- Headline shows on the west coast at venues such as the world famous Arches, the Sub Club, Oran Mor, The Soundhaus and Carnival Arts Centre
- More headline shows at top Edinburgh joints Cabaret Voltaire, Studio 24 and The Jazz Bar - as well as performing at the Rat Race event at the bandstand of Princes Street Gardens
- Festival Appearances at the Wickerman Festival 2006 and Big In Falkirk.
- Support Slots at the Glasgow University Union for the likes of chart busting Goldie Lookin' Chain and Mercury Prize-winner Ms. Dynamite.
- Hosting a series of legendary studio parties at our base and a Friday night club residency in Club Favela, Glasgow.
Be inspired. Be active. But most of all be +ve.
