Take the Money and Run

'Take the Money and Run' are a Norwich based funk band who write catchy swingworthy funk with upbeat grooves and technically minded structures. The minimal instrumentation of just a drummer, bass player and funkster guitarist intergrate to replace sounds you would often look for in brass or keyboard instruments. These added to the infectious vocal bliss of Ruby O'Callaghan blend into a mixture that'll give ure hips a mind of their own! We formed at Access to Music in summer '05 and after completing 2 years on our course we plan to head for the stratford ATM for the Artist Development Programme course. With gigs starting in late April, as the time flows, the funk grows.....UPDATE - nearly 2 years laterWe are still working towards putting a track on an EP with TMR records, we are a short amount of money away from studio time. After the EP there is a slight possibilty of making a double sided vynil with them as well. We have gigged many places including Po Na Na's, the Waterfront and the Arts Centre, not to mention many pubs around Norwich. the Lord Mayor's Procession at Chapelfield last summer was our biggest and most amazing gig to date. Take the Money also love to play good pub nights, when there's a good sized crowd and decent atmosphere those gigs can be special.We're always writing and working towards refining our individual interpretation of funk.
