Manchester: Osaka Monaurail @ Band on the Wall 10 Nov
World leaders in super heavy funk Osaka Monaurail are due to hit Manchester this November. I last caught them as Marva Whitney’s backing band at Leeds’ Hi-Fi Club in 2010 .
Here’s a video summing up that vibe from the same tour:
They are of course masters of the field in their own right:
Their latest release, the follow up to 2012’s State of the World, is ‘Osaka Monaurail performs Riptide and other readings from the book of funk’, available to listen to over on German label Unique Records.
The track listing goes:

2. (SHE’S A) RIPTIDE…..5:11
3. THE HORSE…..3:31
