Junkyard Scientists
Junkyard Scientists are a 10-piece funk and soul outfit, born through a mish-mash of friends, broken bands and chance encounters around the thriving music scenes in London and Reading. With a passion for live performance and a do-it-yourself mentality, Junkyard have honed and fine-tuned a stage show that has risen the bar wherever they've played.
Influenced by soul/ funk pioneers such as Sly & The Family Stone, Curtis Mayfield and Stevie Wonder, Junkyard Scientists pair the big band sound of classic soul & funk with the contemporary stylings of Timbaland, Jamiroquai and Michael Jackson.
With all production, song writing, promotion & art work done by members of the band, Junkyard are a complete creative force, but their incendiary live shows and big hooks are what keeps people talking and singing for days after. Having already run their own successful residency, called 'That's The Jam', in Reading for the past 12 months, Junkyard Scientists are now looking forward to teaming up with Graffiti Breakz to bring their unique brand of funk and dance to the London scene.
Supporting big name acts such as The Beat, Ash & Get Cape. Wear Cape. Fly. and captivating crowds of all ages and backgrounds it is clear to promoters and audiences alike that the Junkyard party is an experience not to be missed!
"Junkyard Scientists manage to add a whole new history and vitality to funk music, twisting it into a fresh new Hip Hop bitten beast. The tunes are all carefully manipulated, yet delivered with such verve and musical desire that heart and head can't help but agree. Junkyard Scientists - better than sex and nothing like Lenny Kravitz."
