Funke and the Two Tone Baby

With support from Fraser Morgan.

Funke and the Two Tone Baby is a truly unique artiste. Designing music on a machine of his own creation whilst playing a genre and sound that is totally his own. Jammed between off-kilter garage beats with a flash of hip-hop, and high energy alternative blues with a dose of funk, is a whirling blur of glitches, big drops and jump up choruses. It's Fatboy Slim meets The White Stripes via LCD Soundsystem and a smattering of IDLES to boot. No one is making music in this way or in this style, and those who know, know, and those who don't are surely missing out.

In February 2027, Funke returns with his 5th studio album 'Greebling'. 'Greebling' is the process of adding detail to increase the appearance of complexity and this new iteration of Funke promises to be more detailed and more complex than ever before. With the new album featuring guest appearances from Beans on Toast and Samantics, and once again produced by Dutty Moonshine Big Band's production genius, 'Binge', Funke's 5th LP stands head and shoulders above anything he has done so far on his long and dedicated music career.

 

The new record contains all the elements of blues, electronica and ferocity that Funke's been evolving for the last 15 years, but distils it further down with tighter production, a fuller embrace of dance music culture and an ever-growing arsenal of instruments and repertoire. Trading an acoustic guitar for an electric, this new direction cuts through a pulsating desk of synths, drum machines, harmonicas and boundless energy, to create a wall of sound you can't believe one man can make.

Fraser Morgan; a rapidly up and coming Folk-Punk/SingerSongwriter who’s known for their relentless gigging and for bringing to the stage high levels of passion, energy, and showmanship.   Whether he's playing solo or with his band “Fraser Morgan and the Great Catastrophes”, Fraser keeps the crowd on their toes and captivated, delivering a performance that is often compared to the likes of Ren, Frank Turner and Jamie T. Fraser recently played his 1000th show to a sold-out crowd at Colchester Arts Centre, and this experience shows when he's putting on a beautifully chaotic, yet passionate and enjoyable performance. Throughout his live shows, Fraser keeps the crowd laughing between songs with his unpredictable, dad-like humour, whilst also delivering important messages of mental health within the songs themselves.   If you like leaving gigs with a heart full of life and a bamboozled smile strapped to your face, then a Fraser Morgan show is exactly where you need to be.
