Minds Eye Promotions Eastbourne #8 Mr Super Juice

About

Minds Eye Promotions Eastbourne is back for another instalment of their original showcase nights at The Grove Theatre. 3 unique acts for £7 advance. This month for your viewing pleasure, they bring 70's flavoured cinematic funk big band Mr Super Juice with their Shaft, and Lalo Schifrin inspired power house of sound- Mr Bungle inspired Enfant Terribles GURF with their warped funky 'computer gone wrong' psychedelia that sounds way more electronic than any live band deserves to- and one man drum wizard Dale Frost who shows just what you can do with a sampler, a drum kit and a bucket load of wizard grade talent.

Mr Super Juice:
The influence of the fantastic film scores of Lalo Schifrin (Bullit, Mission Impossible, Enter The Dragon, Dirty Harry, Kelly's Heroes, THX 1138), Roy Budd (Get Carter, The Black Windmill, The Marseille Contract, Who Dares Wins, The Stone Killer) and Curtis Mayfield's Superfly to name but a few are plain to hear in the bands compositions and improvisations.
The soundtrack concept allows the band the freedom to delve into all areas and sub-genres of funky music from cool jazz funk or New Orleans style grooves to psychedelic funk and acid rock-tinged improvisation and beyond.

GURF:
These Brighton-based legends are notorious for their chaotic live shows, insane musicianship, and glitchy af sonic battering rams they call songs.
It's like watching a train on fire, contemplating what it is to be a train, whilst hurtling down the tracks with fire spewing out of every window.......and that's just the guitarist!
Expect beefy appendages and wonkiness.

Dale Frost:
Drummer, Electronic composition, fractured polyrhythms, and glitched loops.
It's our first time witnessing this highly recommended rhythm expert, and we'll leave his write up as that- the description ticks all our boxes for interest, oh we probably should mention he's doing all this on his own! Who needs bands when you have vision!
