Killin' Merns hot like Famous Flames, and offers a tip of the hat (crown?!) to classic KING Records releases, by taking classic, straight-up funk ingredients and cookin' them just right. Sing-along to the A-side and get fully funked on the flip. It's a new 45 but with a classic feel; it offers an homage to old times, and it guarantees good times once that needle hits the groove.
FREAK MOTIF ain't your average funk band. Staring out in Calgary, Alberta, Canada in 2009 as an experiment in improvised music, they've independently released 2 albums, toured across western Canada, and have now planted a foot firmly in Montreal. Their hypnoic groove draws on afrobeat, reggae, funk, and hiphop rhythms, and their live show is always full of surprises! ...and people, you don't often hear a voice as raw and soulful as LADY C. She belts it out with equal parts Ella and Marva, and a touch of Lauryn. Check it out!
