UK soul pioneers and multi Grammy award winners Soul II Soul are returning to Australia in Februaury and March as the Soul II Soul (Sound System), set to play in Melbourne, Perth, the Adelaide Festival, and Pacha in Sydney at the ivy.
Beginning their career began way back in 1988, the group first began attracting attention as a sound system; playing records at house and street parties, where their clothing and music style was dubbed "Funki Dred". After a more than 20 years, a string of number 1 hits and multiple platinum records including 'Back To Life' which broke through into America (renamed as 'Keep On Moving' for the US market), Soul II Soul are finally heading down under to get up close and personal with their Australian fans.
Soul II Soul’s stellar stage show consists of an eclectic mix of rare groove, classic soul, house and reggae, with Jazzie B on turntables and keys accompanied by the amazing voices of Caron Wheeler and MC Chickaboo as they deliver the Soul II Soul classics in their unmistakable funkidred style.
