Monkjack lift off on the Mothership!

Last night (Saturday 21st February) saw the debut of new Cardiff Funksters Monkjack, and what a debut it was. The crowd got going with a phat set on the decks by Deputy Daf Wiliam, until The Globe, Albany Road, Cardiff was full to the rafters. Once they had been worked into a frenzy, the funksters themselves hit the stage and, led by the Funk Sheriff himself, Mr Jason Rogers, Monkjack ripped it up with some well known funk classics (pass them peas) and some lesser known grooves. With horns, keys, percussion, drums, guitar and, of course, The Sheriff on bass it was a full blown funkfest. By just the second song the crowd had hit the dancefloor and were getting down with their bad selves like it was going out of fashion. The night continued with Cardiff funksters doin' it groovin' it all night long.

Here as Zillorecords we would like to thank everyone for coming along and everyone at The Globe for making it a fab night. The Mothership will next be landing at The Globe for a second Funk Shift on 28th March, so get you glitter out, your groove on and get on down.  

Mothership Sighting...

 The MOTHERSHIP has been sighted on the outskirts of Cardiff getting the Ground Crew ready to Deploy the Funk the the Globe this SAT ... get down there and GET DOWN ... Well Alright Starchild =)!!

This saturday sees the full launch if the Zillorecords Funsk shift as well as new Zillorecords band Monkjack, all at the Globe, Albany Road, Cardiff.

Headed by the eponimous Funk Sheriff (AKA Jason Rogers of Zillo and The Arc of Stars) Monkjack are 7 highclass funk musicians, many of whom were part of the original Mongoose Funk band of Ronnie Scot's fame. With horns, drums, guitars and The Sheriff on Bass they will blow you away and get your booty shakin' whether you like it or not! Once the band have exhausted themselves there won't be a let up for you Funk Shifters as The Funk Sheriff will hot foot it to the decks for some authentic and historic grooves. Definitely time to get down with your bad selves!

Doors open at 7:30 with music starting around 8:30, entry is a mere £5 - nothing for a return ticket to the Mothership!

Latin Lovers!

The first Latin Shift at The Globe, Cardiff was such a massive success with over 230 people turning up to get down to the sounds of Cuba, Brazil and the Latin Quarter that an extra Latin Shift has been planned for this Friday, 13th February (unlucky for some but not for you lucky Zilloists!)

This Latin Shift will be led by the Cardiff based Latin Journey, formerly Liquid Latin. Sugardog will once again get on the decks and you can dance the night away to some of the latest in Latin grooves.

The doors will open at around 7:30, with the music starting a little later - give you chance to warm up. Door entry is still to be confirmed, but will be more than reasonable for the quality of the music. The Globe has a fully stocked bar and friendly bar staff, so get your glad rags and dancing shoes on and come and shake it all night long!
