New York, NY (Top40 Charts) The psychedelic funk of
George Clinton, the brooding menace of
Massive Attack, the rolling hypnotic beats of Happy Mondays and the vision and flow of Grandmaster Flash and The Furious Five are all essential ingrediants to the sound and style of The Winachi Tribe, a sonic soul, electro funk collective who are unconstrained by boundaries or formulas, musically or culturally.
Lyrically explosive and musically diverse, the band were born from the belly of Northern D.Funk collective China White. The Winachi Tribe are an exceptional band of musicians and producers who have collaborated and toured with a range of artists from
Ian Brown to
Alabama 3, Keith Allen to The Furious Five.
The band's influences are as diverse as their own musical output. Parliament/Funkadelic and
Sly & The Family Stone sit alongside The Happy Mondays, Primal Scream, The
Rolling Stones and The Beatles, creating a melting pot of references that create a truly individual sound.
Although this is The Winachi Tribe's debut release, individual band members are already well established on the music scene. Percussion legend Inder
Goldfinger was a member of Ian Brown's band for thirteen years, and vocalist Liam and keys player Antony collaborated with Keith Allen in the studio and also toured with him as vocalists in his band 'Fit Les' as part of his Olympic opera 'Will Cliff Be There?'
Horns come courtesy of Tim Hutton (Ian Brown / The Prodigy). The tracks were mixed by LC Coleman, produced by The Winachi Tribe and mastered at Abbey Road by Geoff Pesche.
