FUNK B-eat-z with Eternal Erection! The funk b-eat-z nights continue in the form of tight live funk. The band behind the live funk, are the coolest cats of finnish funk scene - Eternal Erection.   This band is Europe`s best-kept secret and also one of Finland’s best live bands. Eternal Erection has been around for well past ten years, making FUNK a serious business in Finland. These guys are outrageous,challenging, bold and beautiful! The gig atmosphere has been described as an “interactive funk prayer hour”. “Eternal Erection’s live show is an occasion in itself: alter egos, the groove, and funky clothes create an atmosphere of a circus. Although not a humorous band, they've a sense of self-irony and they don’t take themselves too seriously on stage. But they do take their music seriously and make it with ambition.  They want to develop the 2000’s funk and make something new and original. On their gigs, they’ve always made the crowd dance and even go into trance. The gigs have also cured depression and inspired people’s sex lives. The mission is to bring joy to people’s lives” Among the highlights of Eternal Erection’s career has been warming up George Clinton & P-Funk All Stars in Pori Jazz a few years ago. Their albun "On Top" (2005) showed us that EE is not just an incredible liveband, but also a group one can take seriously not just on the dancefloor but one can enjoy their groove anywhere... Their music is awild mixture of 70-60's funk, soul and disco with 21st century overtones. Their frontman Sam Huber has THE voice and the stage charisma that hardly leaves one soul cold. The live album "On Tour" (2006) will be followed by a brand new studio album later this year. http://www.eternalerection.com/ http://www.myspace.com/eternalerection The best of funk'n'soul will be served by DJ Yari (Intro Funk/Kuopio - H.A.N.D) before and after EE gig.
