Kerbside Collection "Mind The Curb"
"An enjoyable listen!..." (Vinyl Vibes – Germany)
“Nice one Sirs! Love it! (Dom Servini, Wah Wah 45s – UK)
“Great music and good vibes!” (Dusty – Jazz & Milk Records – Germany)
“Funky sounds indeed!” (Jake Mason, Cookin on 3 Burners – Australia)
“A gritty rhythm section of old school drums and Fender or upright bass, alongside funky Hammond and Rhodes, with some sweet George Benson-ish jazz guitar licks on top.” From the quiet tropical suburban back streets of Australia's 3rd largest city (Brisbane) comes a young all instrumental ensemble called Kerbside Collection, creating a mixture of some forgotten rare groove sounds – good times instrumental jazz funk with a touch of soul.
The sound of Ravi Welsh (Guitar), Jason “Paprika” Bell (Drum & percussion), Chris Poulsen (Hammond & Fender Rhodes) and Jeremy O’Connor (Fender “P” & double bass) harks back to the 60s and 70s Californian West Coast music of artists such as Wes Montgomery, George Benson, Chico Hamilton, Joe Sample and The Crusaders, whilst tipping its’ hat to today’s contemporaries keeping the ‘feel’ alive (Soulive, Bobby Hughes, James Taylor Quartet, Eddie Roberts & The New Mastersounds, The Menahan Street Band, The Stance Brothers, Frootful etc).
"En Route" with Caroline Lacaze
“The mixture of French singing and raw soul really works by gad. A match made in heaven.” (Emrys Baird, Blues & Soul magazine UK)
"The French language vocals give it a feel unlike most new funk we've heard lately. Caroline's got a greatly soulful voice" (Dusty Groove USA)
" What a lovely piece of funk magic - that's how soul in 2013 should sound like. Cool, powerful and with a twist." (Michael Arens, Soultrainonline Germany)
“The French vocals provide a refreshing perspective and a nice touch…super-impressive backing.” (The Blue-in-Green-Blog)
„Absolutely sexy“ (Felix Steinbild, Soulkombinat Germany)
“A talent that is undeniable” (Colorising.com)
Caroline Lacaze now steps further into the spotlight with her first full album “En Route” - in a style that is all her own. The mixture on “En Route” is eclectic: nonchalant 60s beat, mysterious psych-pop, raucous funk and longing French chanson, all held together by the energetic raw soul sound and the skillful ‘mise-en-scene’ of the Mocambo Electric Sound Orchestra. “En Route” is available on Mocambo vinyl and Légère CD and digital formats.
