Fusing funkadelic beats with Mediterranean live spices for an evening of dance-floor soul-food, next month Big Bang presents Good Vibes Live at Adelaide's The Jade (25 January).
Led by local indie rock, shoegaze-funksters Birds Are Spies, who recently released their new single 'Haze' (a three-minute journey of noodling, spacious, psychedelic alt-rock), the rest of the line-up features two NSW acts and quartet of SA talent whose infectious grooves will put you in the right mood.Oyobi are a three-piece from Northern Rivers who take audiences on polyrhythmic musical journeys using electronic machines, analog synths, and live musicianship. In 2021 they released their debut album 'Transcendence' that featured collabs with Atjazz, QVLN and Malo Malo.
Direct from Sydney are Kyoshi, who have gained a solid local following with their experimental jazz, funk, neo-soul and earthly feels matched by soul-food melodic vocals and a solid rhythm section backbone. Their most recent single is titled 'Tamed To Break'.
Circo Liquido (pronounced sir- co -li-quee- doh) are an instrumental heavy funk trio from Adelaide – led by former Kinetic Playground's Andy Mack – whose flavours range from old-school sounds reminiscent of The Meters and Jamaican jazz, with hints of Hendrix, Zappa and Zeppelin.
Acclaimed local, come international talent, drummer and band leader Alexander Flood has returned from Berlin where he recorded and mastered 'Oscillate' – an album that's not dissimilar to St Germain and Tourist tones and perfect to get the body moving.
The DJs will not be upstaged either with groove masters DJ Sepia and Troy J Been tantalising your ear buds with classic retro funk, dub and feel-good vinyl to get your feet on the dance floor.
Tickets are on sale.
