Pushin' On - They'll All Be There / Fri 30 Apr

This month, the Pushin' On Crew presents to you even more funk tracks and live acts, all pure local flavour.

THE MIGHTY MIGHTY
The latest act to come out of the Pushin’On nights is the Mighty Mighty, a 5-piece rare groove band in the tradition of the Meters, the Bamboos and the Lefties Soul Connection. Drums, bass, guitar, percussion and organs come together in a blistering non-stop set of instrumental funk and rare groove.

On this night, they will feature 2 MCs for some ‘live’ hip-hop. Another highlight is the debut performance of the Mighty Mighty’s first single, Have You Seen Jay?. Have You Seen Jay? is a disco-funk tale of 2 friends looking for the ungrateful Jay, who disappeared with their precious stash.

THE LION CITY ORCHESTRA
Singapore’s premier soul band and the house band of Pushin’On also takes the stage with their full line-up, last seen rocking Blu Jaz in Feb. The 8-piece Lion City Orchestra returns with more of the furious funk and sweet soul that has been winning fans over since 2008.

On this night, catch their debut performance of their latest single, Still Waiting (For Your Love). Still Waiting (For Your Love) says it like in the title, but with the irresistible groove of a Motown party in summer.

MERLIONS OF HIP-HOP
Cajoled, bribed and threatened out of hiding is the notoriously apolitical Merlions of Hip-Hop. You may remember them from Tuckshop days as the duo that knows the 90’s hip-hop/soul sound like they grew up in it. Tonight, DJ Horrible and Nazmatazz bring out the dusty records to give you some good hip-hop, R&B and neo-soul.

DJ SHELLSUIT AND MASTERPIECE ON THE DECKS

DJ Shellsuit follows on from the Merlions of Hip-Hop with a mixed bag of Hip-Hop, Soul, Funk, Latin, Boogie, Disco and funky oddities found in his continuing search for the funkiest tunes for the dancefloor.

Also catch Masterpiece, vocalist and multi-instrumentalist of Pushin'On, turn DJ. He will share a slice of the music universe that has inspired his work with Pushin’On, the Lion City Orchestra & the Mighty Mighty.

Breaking news!!!!!
5 years ago, this kid stunned us with a 3rd place finish in the Singapore DMC Championship. Then he just disappeared from the radar.......

The world has a strange way of telling us when the time is right to start afresh. So on this night, Pushin'On is delighted to have DJ Niko on decks in a collaboration with MC Masterpiece. Beware of the breaks.
