Erratic Batting Pres: Karate Boogaloo (Colemine) FFO: Surprise Chef, David Axelrod, The Meters \+ Support/DJs 19:30 Tue 9 Feb 2027 General on-sale 10am Thursday 10th September \-- Nick Bodywork from Erratic Batting: "My love affair with Melbourne music continues with the booking of Karate Boogaloo. We caught these guys up close when they supported Surprise Chef at Bristol Beacon last year. Their music moves fluidly between classic funk, Italian library, jazz, cinematic grooves and hip hop breaks - plus the musicianship is astounding." \-- Karate Boogaloo KayBee’s roots go deep into the DIY soul idiom; Henry Jenkins, Hudson Whitlock, Callum Riley and Darvid Thor have been playing funk together since their playground days. Meeting as high school preteens, these four friends explored the teachings of the great small combo instrumental bands à la Booker T & The MG’s and The Meters. With these lessons in one hand and their characteristic sense of goofy humour in the other, the ensuing years saw Karate Boogaloo develop the kind of shared musical language that can only be built through countless hours spent together existing as friends and musical allies. \-- Erratic Batting Bristol Promoter • Erratic Music Policy • Est. 2017 Jazz to Jungle • Psych to Soukous • Disco to Neo-Classical 16.10.26.
