Messengers of Funk Deliver Musical Mutiny

 

Coming up on top in Hamilton’s Battle of the Bands, the Hammer’s favorite funkateers move on to battle it out in Toronto. “Musical Mutiny Battle of the Bands” in support of War Child Canada Benefit will take place on Thursday March 18, 2010 @ 7:30pm, at the Horseshoe Tavern. The following evening, hopefully coming off another win, the boys will share the stage with battle competitors “One Flew West”, as well as “Marco Fiesta” at their highly anticipated show at Clinton’s. It comes as no surprise that the band’s ever growing fan base drove the band to victory. The tremendous support of the fans only pushes the band to produce better and bigger sounds to return the love.

 

Come Thursday night, the band is set to play songs off their new album.  Fans can expect to hear favorites:  “Daily Operations”, “Oberon”, and “Back to Georgia” off of the 2009 EP “5 Cents Short of a Dollar”. That’s not all though. The boys, always bringing something new, have a few surprises in store.  You’ll have to attend the benefit to get the full ESRB experience.  Band member Craig Johnston speaks on the upcoming Battle of the Bands performance:

 

“Opportunities to play for new audiences as well as a great cause don’t come too often. I think the audience will be surprised with our new sounds, we’ve grown a lot and been inspired by new rhythms. I think the show will be a great way to gain exposure, and to broaden our fan base.”

 

As part of their successful finale at the Hamilton show, look for the band’s biography featured in NOW Magazine sometime next week. The band also received free studio time, which they will put towards their next album.

 

One thing is for sure, this band is the real deal. Their sound compels immediate interest, and they waste no time drawing in new listeners. And most significantly, securing private gigs has not deterred the band from the importance of playing benefit shows. Since the beginning, dating five years back; singer Matt Morgan has strived to inspire movement through sound, in more ways than one. As Bob Marley once sang, every little action springs a reaction.

 

War Child is an internationally recognized cause, but you don’t need to go any further than the Horseshoe Tavern in Toronto to do your part. Also, no where else in the world has the ESRB, this is an exclusive slice, not to be missed!
