The Mosiac Music Festival held twice a year is a true gem for this area as it offers some best of the best of our local electronic music scene as well as some of the better regional and national performers. I was very, very impressed with the turnout on the nights I was able to attend (Mon, Tues, Thurs, Sun) - great music, great crowd and a great way to support our diverse local music scene.
As a way to bring the fest to a close - Funkuponya played an opening act for Neu Romance - the creation of Chico Scott - and one of the standard bearers of the Electronic Music scene. Neu Romance kept the electonic music scene going in Raleigh through the dark days and now is one of the more respected names in town.... Chico has been able to get the best of the best to come out to the weekly gigs for those of us who need an electronica fix.... Thankfully, the mosiac is the new venue for this event as the Albi bar closed down - as it will be recreated into the new Kings facility....
Funkuponya is a collection of some great musicians - each with different backgrounds - they have been really working hard on their sound and are near perfection - with Brian tearing up the keys, Leo on the bass, Carl on drums and Doug on guitar - this band has found it's way bringing Raleigh with, solid Funk - and it is exactly what was needed. I look for this band to continue their hard work and hopefully add some horns but they are a great band and they are testament to the developing music scene...
