Not sure how I've managed overlook these guys. 

I'm sure a lot of people on here will hate it, but it's awesomely fusiontastic.

I have seen them live. Haven't I ? On with Chic in Moseley last year. They had really cool t shirts for sale.

A guy at work turned me onto them only this month and mentioned about the music workshops they do when on tour. They're over here in May

Ah yes, @monquixote. The obligatory "physically impossible singer" video

(for anyone who hasn't seen it before, check it out from 6:00 - 6:30...the reaction from the band is priceless)

Heard them before, like them a lot. Not come across that particular video before, though. Thanks for posting!

Bucket

Fucking LOVE them.

ThePrettyDamned

Is that the girl who is known to sing 2 part harmonies?

I don't actually like it when she does that, and I have no time for that super jazzy scat-improv stuff I've seen her do (if it is her) but they are an incredible band.  Like, every single bit of it is amazing.  

Deadman

They sound like Bombastic meatbats.

I discovered them today, then searched for them here. Agree, they are fantastic.

I listen to these a few times over the years, do you think that there are too many players in the band to make any cash.

Also Funky Knuckles, Afroskull and M13 do similar jazz/funk/rock/bigband stuff.

Yeah they were. I was at the Mostly Jazz, Funk & Soul Fest last year as well. Chic & Soul II Soul, both excellent.

That day was a scorcher... Watched the last set of the Wimbledon final in the bar tent. Me and the Mrs were leathered on those 4 pint Cider containers.

It's very, very clever and each one of them is immensely talented, but..... I couldn't listen to it for very long.
