Acuphuncture are a collective of funk-loving gear addicts. Shortly after graduating, Tom realised that the best way to hide his eBay habit and penchant for moving heavy equipment around was to pretend to be in a band. This dream team of Funkers from the Fens was formed quicker than you can say "Roy Ayers Ubiquity," and after a few months of rinsin' our licks and mastering our moves we're ready to unleash the funk. Initially Acuphuncture are covering a range of our favourite funk records (ranging from Stevie Wonder to more obscure material), but soon we will be unveiling funky cuts of our own creation.
Acuphuncture are:
Pamela Givens: lead vocals. : sultry soulful vocals to quench the raging fires of funk.
Myke Clyfford: saxes, percussion, flute, backing vocals. Proves one man can be an entire horn section.
Simon Grimshaw: lead guitar & second bass. More whicka-whacka wah than Alan Whicker at a wicker-weaving convention.
Tiago Coimbre: bass guitar. Slaps his bass to create grooves so funky they've been declared illegal in several countries.
Derek Scurll: drums. THE funkiest white guy since Mike Clark.
Tom O'Grady: suitcase rhodes 88 & hohner clavinet D6. Herbie wannabe and vinyl junkie.
