Event description
MUESLI and FUNKYTROP join forces to warm up YOUR winter Live @ The Polo - supported by Tropitec Collective! Two of Canberra's low down funkiest bands together in one night
MUESLI (Indie - Funk)
Muesli's unique brand of pop/indie/funk packs some funky crunch. This five piece crew bring a lively dose of melodies and beats, with a healthy serve of live music energy! An exciting new Canberra band who pride themselves on exhilarating performances and unapologetically positive tunes can only be described as ‘irresistible fun’.
Established in November 2020, Muesli has since been busy writing and gigging; supporting local and national acts such as Ruben Styles (Peking Duck & Y.O.G.A), Between You and Me and Local Bands such as Archie, Kirkland and Koebi Faumui. Since the launch of their first single Hello Out There in April 2022, Muesli has been back in the studio and have six more singles ready for release.
FUNKYTROP (Latin - Funk)
Rising out of urban centres of Canberra-Australia in 2017, FunkyTrop has been evolving into a mix of Latin grooves and Afro-American funk, and a unique energy and highly eclectic show. Releasing their debut EP album in 2018, the exciting (6) piece latin band showcased influences of funk and the diversity of Latin rhythms and instrumentation constantly creating an environment of experimentation.
The band's instrumentation includes Drums, Congas and minor percussion. The melody is supported by Piano, Bass, and Electric Guitar. The main vocal is covered by stellar and eclectic Adanna.
Performing through important stages and festivals in town, FunkyTrop is always presenting a highly danceable show bringing the cultural roots of Latin-Funk to the ears of their crowds.
In 2020, and after a constant search for a female vocalist, the band incorporates their new stelar singer that has been chosen to take FunkyTrop to the next level. Adanna Obinna born in Nigeria and raised by the world. Chasing beauty in everything, she finds music as a connection to melodies and harmonies and finds comfort in exploring her range and performing art, her influences by the Nigerian background and European/ Oceanic upbringing.
TROPITEC COLLECTIVE (Electronica + Live Percussion)
Tropitec blends the best of electronica, Live Latin Percussion and Brass creating a lush sound system brand new to the capital! Featuring the DJ & beatmaking skills of Lumo (Root Sellers - Canada) alongside live percussion from locals Rodrigo (Pachamama), Ned (Chicharrita/Mi Tierra) and Rafa (Raio De Sol/This Way Orkestra) plus guest musicians!
