The Impellers

> The Impellers on Myspace

Starting life as Ed Meme & The Forms, a name change to something far easier to pronounce came about when offered a deal by prolific UK label Freestyle Records in 2008. The Impellers are bringing a heavy, heavy authentic funk sound both live and in the studio. The band features screaming hammond, true soul vocals, huge horns and a rhythm section producing more energy than a Dutch wind farm.

Cookin' On 3 Burners are Australia's hardest hitting Hammond Organ Trio - joining the dots between Deep Funk, Raw Soul, Organ Jazz & Boogaloo. Since forming in 2000 the 3-piece have forged a well-earned reputation on the international Deep Funk & Soul scene with a series of acclaimed releases aimed squarely at the dancefloor and the Sunday afternoon barbeque! Jake Mason (Hammond Organ), Lance Ferguson (Guitar) and Ivan Khatchoyan (Drums) formed Cookin' On 3 Burners inspired by the Hammond Soul-Jazz masters such as Jimmy Smith, Reuben Wilson and Jimmy McGriff. The Cookin' sound is drenched in the bluesy, soulful influence of the late 60's/early 70's output of labels such as Prestige, Bluenote & Groove Merchant.

Individual members of the band have worked and played with a number of artists ranging from Jamiroqaui, Roy Ayers, Jazz Crusaders to Clifford Jarvis. The first single, Reachin 4 Da Farside, was released in 2001 and quickly became a 'cult classic' (Adrian Gibson, Jazz Cafe magazine), owing to the success of this 12" the band were offered an album deal by People records. The subsequent album, 'When will we belong', was produced by Bugz in the Attic and established the band as a new force on the music scene. Owing to the success of this record the group performed at some of Europe's major jazz festivals. The group also gained 'cult celebrity status'.
