If you like groove in your musical diet, then Fort Knox Five is for you.We couldnt think of anyone in our city more appropriate to hop on this Thursday night Funk Fest than Victorias powerful, psychedelic jungle funk monster APEX BREAKS. Since their inception, Apex Breaks has been an unstoppable force on the west coast music scene, scorching dancefloors with their untameable, ultra-colourful full funk assault. It doesnt take more than a few minutes standing in front of any stage that Apex Breaks is inhabiting to feel their power and their unadulterated joy for music. Either youve seen Apex Breaks and its time for your next does, or you havent seen them and its time to get initiated. Also on the bill for our funk party is the Don of Dubversified, MIRAGE (fka Blackout). Not just a master of hip-hop, breaks and G-house, Mirage is a community builder proven by the strength of the community hes helped facilitate around his creation, Dubversified Culture. Were stoked to welcome him to our stages for the first time as he rounds out this, quite frankly, unmissable bill.
