Biography:
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 need
not apply. 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 assault - 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.
