Gig Information
Too funky for folk and too folky for funk - that s Sonic Delusion s Latin-infused, pop-laced funky electroacoustic folk.
Sonic Delusion’s frontman Andre Manella uses his well-worn loop pedal to spontaneously create layers of rhythm, tone and vocals.
The Swiss-Kiwi electro-folk raconteur “easily carves out his own unapologetically ambitious and intriguingly experimental sound”.
“Catchy loops invite plenty of dancing and hip swaying… a sensual delight to the ears”.
Sonic Delusion (Trio) includes French import Severin Thiebaut (bass, keys).
He ratchets up the dynamics with Latin-flavoured keys and funky bass.
The musical wonder boy Ben Dixon on tasty drums.
