The Public Opinion Afro Orchestra - Naming & Blaming
Inspired by the infectious afro-beat music of Nigeria and
its neighbors, The Public Opinion Afro Orchestra delivers contemporary African
funk to Australian dancefloors. This mammoth ensemble comprises musicians
hand-picked among the finest in Melbourne’s music scene. The experience and
creativity of these established musicians energize the group’s original
compositions and the sound of the entire band is a force to be reckoned with.
The Public Opinion Afro Orchestra’s powerful MCs and tribal rhythms are the
modern- day ‘musical weapon’ that Fela Kuti conceived of. Their conscious
lyrics and West African grooves are relevant today, while remaining faithful to
the message of afro-beat. The group is the brainchild of Zvi Belling, Ethan
Hill (aka DJ Manchild) and Tristan Ludowyk who are long- time friends and
musical collaborators, each with vast and diverse musical backgrounds to draw
upon. The band’s directors recently travelled to Africa to promote the new
single and recorded with African hip hop stars Tumi (South Africa) and Modenine
(Nigeria). These artists feature on the band’s self-released debut album from
2010 “Do Anything Go Anywhere”, which wass nominated for an Aria award for
“best world music album”. The full-length was accompanied by a 12” vinyl
release that sold out in record time
Unit 3 Deep – Groove Theory
Unit 3 Deep's debut release titled "Groove Theory" ...Jazz Roads - “It’s a bit like listening to the Return To
Forever and the Mahavishnu Orchestra translated into 2018" “If the
Headhunters and Parliament Funkadelic had a baby, Unit 3 Deep would be their
love child" Unit 3 Deep is comprised of a uniquely talented trio and
highly sought-after professional musicians: pianist, producer and songwriter
Patrick Cooper; bassist, songwriter, arranger and producer David Dyson; and
drummer and producer Duane Thomas. Although the trio has collaborated for years
on varying musical circuits, they have been playing together as Unit 3 Deep
since 2015. With each contributing their own musical prowess and vast
experience, it’s not hard to comprehend why these three seasoned talents came
together to bring what they call musical “gumbo” to life. The question is
simply: Why did it take so long? www.unit3deep.com "
