Another Bank Holiday Sunday rolls around and we’ve pulled out all the stops to
bring you a fantastic line-up of live music and DJs. Hypnotic Brass Ensemble
are a band of horn-playing brothers from Chicago. In 1999 the brothers combined
their efforts and began performing a new style of brass music they called
"Hypnotic". In the past few years, they have travelled all over the
world playing for audiences of all genres; opening up for the B52's, Talib
Kweli, Mos Def, and most recently playing with Maceo Parker at Apollo Theater
in Harlem.

And following the live show we’ve got the super-talented Ben Westbeech and one
of his infamous DJ & vocal sets. He rocked the Bull’s Head to it’s
foundations last year and we’re delighted to have him back for what promises to
be another killer bank holiday at the H&H!

Asone third of hip-hop super-group De La Soul, DJ Maseo’s ability andimmense talents behind the turntables has seen him travel the world,making the transition between turntable maestro to hip-hop phenomenon,he now lands at FUNKBOX to tear up the dancefloor.

In 1989, DeLa Soul released their first LP ‘3 Feet High and Rising’ to worldwideacclaim and changed the face of hip-hop. The trio have continued topush the boundaries of hip-hop with their six further offerings, all ofwhich have reached classic status with hip-hop heads and music loversalike. It is fair to say everyone has heard a De La Soul tune.

Mostrecently Maseo has founded a label and turned those years of rockingparties to good use by delivering his first official mix tape, chockedfull of classic hip-hop and other funky gems.

A true old schoolparty DJ, Maseo will blend and mash up classic Hip-Hop, original funkbreaks and anything else!! This is one definitely not to miss as a truelegend does his thing behind the decks of the Hare & Hounds.

Well what an experience that was!

The Bamboos rocked the little old Yirdbird off it`s perch!
The band, playin after a heavy night in Camden, came on stage and blasted throught an awsome 30 minute Live mix tape of their finest instrumentals. Tunes like "The Witch" and "Happy" were a true lesson in heavy deep funk. Remaining  amazingly tight throughout.

The presecnce of The Bamboos up-front live singing temptress, Kylie Auldist, was our next joy. This girl can wail! Bringing the place alive with big smiles and a voice that brings complete justice to the whole band.  "Step it Up" and "Bring it Home" were stand outs for me, recreating Alice Russell`s origonal versions spot on.
The set wound up with the "Tighten Up" and boy was it tight!  It was such an experience to watch it play in such a small venue. A a trombone solo and massive drum breaks added to the flavours and made the Yardbird bounce.
An encore was always on the cards and they didn`t disapoint. The Band played the night out with a heavy verion of  "Amen Brother" sent out to the late great James Brown r.i.p. Lance and the guys really did Birmingham a favour and showed us what live Funk is all about. Cheers guys!

Lots of booze and merchandise had by all, making this a great night. Our double headed funk extraganza continues next month with thePoets Of Rhythm, hailling all the way from Gremany. Once again to no doubt bring The Yardbird to it`s knees!

Check it out Saturday 16th June,  tickets at The Ticket Sellers

Cheers Everyone for their hard work.
  Easy now, Revo

FUNKBOX are very proud to present live….The Poets Of Rhythm.

 

Brought to life in the early 90´s, the Poets Of Rhythm made a remarkable impact on the current worldwide Deep Funk scene with their influential album releases Practice What You Preach (just re-issued on Daptone records) and Discern/Define (a Quannum/Ninja Tune cooperation), which brought them into the ears of a whole new audience with its more experimental and psychedelic moves. This time, the Whitefield Brothers are featured on Drums and Guitar, whose 2^nd LP album is due to release on NOW-AGAIN this summer.

The Poets are heading to FUNKBOX to present their own blend of African, Middle Eastern and Asian rhythms and scales combined with a soulful Funk and Jazz heritage on which their reputation has been built over the last 15 years. The capacity is limited to 130 so advance tickets are the only way to guarantee entry. Don't miss out!

 

 

Here's what people have been saying about The Poets Of Rhythm:

"The Poets of Rhythm are unanimously regarded as the new funk standard bearers. Why? One listen and you'll see why it ain't hard to tell." – Lyrics Born (Quannum Projects)

"My favourite band" – DJ Shadow
