Mondatta Funk
Founding members Mark Howes and Chris Griggs had a vision of bringing the FUNK sounds of the 60's and 70's to Norwich, tearing the roof of the mother in the process. In previous line-ups they played at the King Street music festival and headlined the UEA.
With a number of changes on the bass they finally found the child of Motown's James Jameson, Kieran Brennan and slotted him into the mix of wah-wah and punchy funk rhythms. At a rehearsal they stumbled across a jazz poster with Miss Lauren Dove's detail, they called her up and were blown away by the dirty funk and soul in her voice. They were now a unit.
Twice they have supported local funk legends Speedometer at the Arts Centre. Recently they have won the Livewire Student Radio battle of the bands, received air play on Radio One and opened the Lord Mayor's festival in Chapelfield.
