THE FUTURE SHAPE OF SOUND
Crime Gospel Rock n'Roll Shakedown Soul Blues
The Future Shape Of Sound are an (up to) 10 piece Shakedown Crime Gospel Rock’n’Roll Soul Blues outfit.
Spearheaded by music producer Alex McGowan aka “Captain Future”, visualise a bunch of Rock’n’Roll, blues musicians and gospel singers coming together to rock it out in a disused circus tent! This outrageous Shakedown Crime Gospel Rock’n’Roll Soul Blues collective is the ultimate example of uplifting music meets funky theatre. An absolute spectacle - you won’t know quite know what happened, but you’ll never be able to forget it!
With a female front singer and a number of female backing singers they are ideal if you are looking for gender balance in your line up. In the recent past the band have put their spectacle on the stages of many smooth nighteries and major outdoor congregations such as Bestival, Shambala, Secret Garden Party, Hipsville, Grillstock, Wilderness, The Craig Charles Funk & Soul Club and Clerkenwell festival, converting believers with shimmering choir harmonies, Hammond organ grooves, soul sax riffs and Rock’n’Roll guitars.
