A FUSION between a DJ, an acoustic opener and the gig’s main band is promised when Funke and the Two Tone Baby come to Reading.
And it’s all done to one man.
The show, at The Face Bar, sees Funke fuse together folky singalong anthems with blistering blues riffs, juxtaposed with fat bass, big beats and sub kicks.
A lo-fi peach with orchestral depth, a DJ without decks and a blur to the eyes, Funke generates huge sounds from seemingly nothing and sweeps up audiences in an awestruck wave of power, energy and sweat. A truly unique act that needs to be seen to be believed.
Organisers from Club Velocity promise a frenzied amalgamation of organic and electronic that defies all preconception.
Born from festivals and knocking on the door of 1,000 shows, F&TTTB has wowed audiences from Glastonbury to Sziget, WOMAD to Boomtown and Alexandra Palace to a Bahraini Princes’ private studio.
He has also secured support tours and shows with Skinny Lister, Dutty Moonshine Big Band, Comet is Coming, Beans on Toast, Hazel O’ Connor, Ferocious Dog, Hayseed Dixie, Mark Chadwick (Levellers), among others.
Support will come from Uncle Peanut.
The event takes place on Thursday, March 16, at the Ambrose Street venue. Tickets are available by searching for Funke And The Two Tone Baby on wegottickets.com.
