Blg Promotions presents: Fatback Band

Come join us for Fatback Band plus guests.

Fatback Band
One of the most acclaimed disco, soul and funk groups to have ever emerged from America, Fatback Band make their debut at The Lanes
The grittiest of the US club bands of the mid 70s, they mixed jazz with funk, prefigured disco and were at the beginning of rap - their 1979 rap single 'King Tim III' was released a week before the Sugarhill Gang’s 'Rapper’s Delight' - and forged the mid-80s club anthem 'I Found Lovin’'.
With more than 35 albums released over the course of a hugely influential career, it's with great joy that we welcome drummer Bill Curtis and his disco cohorts back to our stage.

Jackson UK
Jackson - a pseudonym for Bristol-based keyboard and session player Jack Baldus. Jack has been a well-regarded regular performer on the Bristol and Southwest music scene for several years, but became a frontman for his own live project since 2015. The live band line-up Jackson brings to the stage is ever changing, however one constant joining Jack on his unique intense Jazz-Funk show is veteran 5-time DMC champion - DJ Asian Hawk a/so known as 0. Love (DJ CITY/The Disablists) who is one of the only turntablists to sing and scratch simultaneously. Adding to the immensity of Jackson's sound is the combination of drums, bass, guitar and horn section, made up of the finest handpicked musicians in the UK. With a host of influences across the spectrum of genres and acts, including Herbie Hancock, Steely Dan, Thundercat and Radiohead. Jackson's sound can be difficult to pin down; but to quote Gil Scot Heron; "We are miscellaneous. We did not mean to be miscellaneous. Somehow it happened. We will let you decide what kind of music do we play." J
