Funke And The Two Tone Baby

Funke and The Two Tone Baby is a Glasgow concert by a solo project that builds its music on a machine of its own design. The act draws on garage, hip-hop, blues, funk and dance music.

The project's sound places off-kilter garage beats beside touches of hip-hop, and high-energy alternative blues beside funk, producing glitching textures, heavy drops and jump-up choruses. The material compares it to Fatboy Slim, The White Stripes and LCD Soundsystem, with a hint of IDLES. Funke has spent around fifteen years developing this approach.

The fifth studio album, Greebling, is presented as the most detailed and complex release so far. It features guest contributions from Beans on Toast and Samantics, and was produced by "Binge", the production force behind Dutty Moonshine Big Band. The record tightens the production, leans further into dance music culture and adds more synths, drum machines and harmonicas. Funke has also swapped an acoustic guitar for an electric one, creating a dense wall of sound.

The Hug and Pint is a Glasgow venue that hosts concerts and shows, and the night suits listeners interested in blues-rooted, electronic and rock-led music.
