"That's right ladies and gentlemen, Freak Power are back for two exclusive shows this month…
Just in case you were too young at the time, or can't remember that far back, Freak Power, led by the charismatic baldy Ashley Slater, cruised the crest of the acid jazz-tinged pop wave in the early 90s with cuts such as 'Turn On, Tune In, Cop Out' and ‘Drive-Thru Booty’. Their rise to fame was also assisted by a band member who went under the name of Norman Cook. We wonder what happened to him…?
These hotly–tipped reunion shows will take place on Wednesday February 20 at Brighton's Concorde 2 and London's Jazz Cafe on February 22, and while Norman won't be in attendance, Ashley et al promise us they'll leave a spare guitar backstage just in case he pops by.
WIN A SET AT THEIR AFTER PARTY!
Not only are they reuniting for your party pleasure, but Freak Power are also offering one lucky DJ the chance to perform a 30 minute set at one of their after parties… They're the band that just keep on giving!
All you need to do is…
