Hammond flavoured Nola Style Funk.

Take a big portion of Southern fried funk. Smother with Louisiana flavoured hot sauce and sprinkle with sea salt fresh from the North Yorkshire Coast. 

The Vertical Dead Quartet hail from Scarborough but the influence is pure New Orleans cuisine all the way: a four-piece band with fatback drums, thumping bass, high-powered Hammond organ and funky chicken scratch guitar. Occasionally stir in some soulful vocals, add a dash of spicy sax and a pinch of piquant flute, and then finish with searing percussion courtesy of Goldfrapp’s former tour drummer. 

Bake till sizzling and then turn on the fans above the dancefloor, cause this band is cookin’ and things are gonna get hot!
