FUNK FROM THE TRUNK XXXL featuring SPEEDOMETER and funk legend MARTHA HIGH
Thu 30th September 2010 - Metropolis - Music Bristol |
FUNK FROM THE TRUNK XXL presents...
SPEEDOMETER featuring MARTHA HIGH
Speedometer, the UK's premier funk band started out as a quartet gigging in small clubs in the Southeast of England, playing classic funk tunes by artists such as The Meters and The JB's. The band soon expanded, adding the now renowned horn section (The Rev Horns) and vocalists (The Speedettes), enabling them to deliver the powerhouse deep funk sound they're known for today.
Martha High has sung with Soul Legends including James Brown, Marva Whitney, Lyn Collins, Bobby Byrd, Gwen McCrae and RAMP. During her collaboration with Soulpower, High performed all across Europe and even performed in Africa, backed by the Soulpower Allstars. In February 2005, High embarked on the "James Brown's Funky Divas Tour" in Europe, sharing the stage with her friend Lyn Collins. Today, Martha continues to tour the world, notably with Pee Wee Ellis as part of his Still Black, Still Proud show and she featured at the 2008 Harbour Festival. read more

Wax Tailor 'In the mood for life' Tour
Wed 6th October 2010 - Metropolis - Music Bristol |
Wax Tailor, aka JC Le Saout, brings his "Mood for Life" tour to Metropolis; this show has been rescheduled from earlier in the year.
Wax Tailor made a remarkable impact worldwide with his debut “Tales of the Forgotten Melodies”. A sweeping, cinematic hip-hop album that had critics citing similarities to DJ Shadow, RJD2 and Portishead, “Tales” propelled this Frenchman to stardom in his home country and his debut was heralded as Radio Nova's album of the year. Stateside, “Tales” spent 28 straight weeks in the iTunes Top Electronic Albums and remains there to date. The album topped the CMJ Hip Hop and RPM charts (16 and 13 weeks in the top 20, respec-tively) and tastemaker radio station, KEXP in Seattle, deemed it one of the best albums of 2006.
Wax Tailor confirms his musical identity. Often categorized as trip-hop or down tempo hip-hop, Wax Tailor breaks musical barriers using a sonic palette to demonstrate his life chronicles tainted in soul, jazz, and funk. The tone of “Hope & Sorrow” is set from the introduction, where sounds unwind in a long one take and finally give way to Nate Harrison’s essay from “Can I Get An Amen.” Through the course of 12 tracks and 3 interludes, he tells us a new story, unravelling like a movie scenario with vocal guests as his actors who deliver their lines to the tune of a great director. read more
