Slow Mojo is the enthralling new blues funk band that’s turning heads in London.
About us:
We’re Slow Mojo, a six-piece, high-energy, stage-owning blues funk outfit. With a vast repertoire of original material – plus a couple of choice covers including Muddy Waters, Joe Bonamassa and The Doors – we span every genre of music the blues has touched, from classic 12-bar, to rock, punk, thrash, rock ‘n’ roll, funk, soul and hip hop. Our sound takes the elements we know and love about the blues and evolves them, adding new extras like stomping beats, rap vocals, funk bass, face-melting solos and more.
Due to unforeseen circumstances our bassist is having to part with the band and we need someone to take the reigns. We're after someone who is proficient at playing lovely, funky bass but also fits in with the rest of us. We're after commitment, energy and drive as we've been gigging for a year and have potential gigs at major UK festivals this year. We practise once a week in Earlsfield and we all bring a few beers down and have a giggle. If this is you, please get in touch! Reply here on Joinmyband or email us: slowmojoband@gmail.com
Live work:
Indie Week UK 2018 finalists. We also regularly play some of London’s most legacy-laden live venues, including The Water Rats, Dublin Castle, St Moritz Club, Hope and Anchor, and Cargo. We also headlined the Saturday night of Fat Tuesday – London’s Mardi Gras, at Vaults Festival 2018.
Press
“A little bit blues, some rock, a dash of classic hip hop and punk added for good measure, it’s difficult to pigeonhole Slow Mojo into an exact genre. One minute you’re getting ZZ Top undertones and the next Rage Against The Machine vibes smash through.” - Sammy Sadler
"Just when you think you've encountered a fairly regular blues rock outfit, they grab you by the sonic lapels and hit you upside the head with some edgy rock n roll, that is part Alex Harvey, part Zep - T'riffic". - The Dublin Castle
We have a couple tracks on Spotify, search for Slow Mojo.
