And they’re set to have a major impact on the Australian funk fusion scene. Based in Brisbane, their unique style of fusion draws as much from Jazz and Latin influences as it does from Funk and Hip-Hop. One of Phunk Shui’s greatest strengths is that all it’s members bring something exciting and different to the music. Right from the start, the combination of Cleon’s jazz piano with Ben’s funk bass formed the basis of the Phunk Shui ‘sound’. However, due in no small part to the addition of Luke and Gabriel, that ‘sound’ has evolved into something special.

Individually the members of this four piece unit have no shortage of experience having played with acts as diverse as The New York Opera, The National Radio Big Band Orchestra of Bucharest, La Gran Salsa, Gorgonzolla, Phoebus, and Glockenspiel. This is just the beginning for Phunk Shui, who are currently preparing material for they’re debut album. However, if you just can’t wait to hear them, you can catch Phunk Shui at one of their local gigs. Check Phunk Shui.net for details and watch this space!

As well as having an exquisite voice, vocalist Megan Radford was a clear choice to sing Gaye’s words for a personal reason: Megan’s mother Margaret lost her battle with cancer in late 2005, Gaye in early 2006. With luscious strings by Youka Snell and Rani Jeong, and compassionately supported by Tom Flenady’s bass and Joel Hardy’s flugelhorn, GPMR were honored to be working in such professional and inspiring surroundings. They hope that the sum of all these parts come together to allow Gaye’s final words to shine, and to pay tribute to the memories of Gaye Pegler and Margaret Radford.

About the Song: Final Drinks is a song inspired by the words of Gaye Pegler. Diagnosed with CLL (chronic lymphocytic leukaemia) in 2000, Gaye wrote a reflective poem whilst sitting with husband Michael at Mooloolaba beach several years into her illness. She passed these words onto her friend Wade Gregory, and together they composed Final Drinks. Gaye lost her long battle with cancer in early 2006, and felt truly blessed to have had a song in which to express herself.

The closest representation would be an equal blend of the contemporary pop music and hardcore punk genres. The vocals and melodic hooks are soulful and catchy, yet the rhythms often bounce between big beat, break beat, hip-hop and some extremely brutal 2-step (often in half-time) which is more than appropriate for vocal screaming and for audiences to fight dance to.

Yeo and Tim are currently studying a Bachelor of Music Technology at the Queensland Conservatorium. Ritchie studies Bachelor of Music, majoring in jazz performance on the drumset.

In the 10 month of 2005 there was an imbalance of power in Queensland Conservatorium. Three students stirred in the undergrowth of the music technology department, conspiring to manufacture and release a musical beast that would devour pop music as we know it. The defiance of social structure in such a well-pronounced institution put fear into the hearts of the scholarly. These audacious visionaries have since been dubbed ‘The October Revolution’…

In fear of their lives (and reputation) the members of the revolution have adopted alter egos; Benjamin Vlad (the impaler) – wielding spiked synths, drum machines and banshee vocals. Alex Weasel Bennett – bass guitar, frequencies below 60hz and additional drum programming. Anthony Pink (o) – rock moves and guitar.

The music produced by the October Revolution is an eclectic (Molotov) cocktail consisting of two parts anarchic punk and one part 80’s pop shaken with a bit-crushed video game.
