Decatone



Decatone play funk music. Heavy, in-your-face, make-you-dance funk! Their set is all original material with more hooks than a butchers freezer. The Decatone sound features all the classic funk ingredients: a solid groove laid down by the drums and percussion; pounding bass lines; classic guitar licks; and keys with all the classic funk sounds.

To top it all there's the brass - the jewel in the funk crown! Decatone will make your ears melt with their hooks and harmonies. In the last year things have really taken off for Decatone. They were the stars of the 2005 Godiva Festival, the biggest free music festival in the West Midlands. They also developed a loyal fan base, and commanded huge respect with some electric performances at local universities. 2006 saw them beat over 100 bands to win the BBC's G-Factor competition, receiving a massive 33% of the votes. As winners of the competition, Decatone play the main stage at the 2006 Godiva Festival and have produced a funky music video with the BBC.

Next year sees them heading to sunnier shores to play at the Malta Jazz Festival. Decatone continue to grow, looking for management and a recording deal. Their status in the West Midlands continues to rise and they are spreading the funk further afield. Watch out, as one audience member once said: "for a funk band THEY ROCK!"
