MOUNTAIN MOCHA KILIMANJARO (JAP)

From the outskirts of Tokyo, Japan, from the most unknown prefecture in the country, comes the most exciting and brightest hopes in funk ever. The six-piece phenomenon, the nasty groove-making cats, the deep-dapping and history changing dogs call themselves Mountain Mocha Kilimanjaro. Well dressed, slick but playing some of the rawest and deepest funk that would shake anyone's booty, and add that with the furious energy of a rock and roll band , and you have these amazing gentlemen.

Touring relentlessly across clubs of all sizes in Japan, as well as rocking a packed house at Fuji Rock Festival 2008 and countless festivals around the country, they have built a reputation as one of the finest funk units kicking it today.

Date performing: 30 December 2009
Stage: The Bellbird
