Omega66

PRESS
Miniature Music Press - Simon Read - "With the terrific material at their disposal and their indisputable live prowess, the MMP suggests this ride might be one worth getting on"
Tom Robinson, BBC 6 Music - "I really like this track! Some top notch music from Wales"
Buzz Magazine - ZM - "Rock, R&B, Electro, Funk and spaced out vibes this is a great sound." ****
Peppermint Iguana Zine - "It's always nice when you come across something that is hard to pigeonhole and this little number is definitely a defiant little bugger. Part rock, part dance, part pop, part soul, part funk, but all top quality" ****
Miniature Music Press - Simon Read - "Set for release early 2011, it seems a great deal of time's been spent pulling in a range of collaborators and capturing a sense of diversity alongside the tried and tested template of strong beats and melodies. Magic Notion, featuring Sabrina Mahi, has a slap-bass funk chic about it. It's Demeaning is a quasi-political knees-up masterpiece with echoes of Soul II Soul reverberating off frantic electronica. Sally Thomas' vocal effort on The Way It Is lends it a lush laidback Massive Attack ambience while Something On My Brain's house tempo plays alongside a Beta Band quirkiness"
BIO - A STANKY FUNK ELECTROBOP is upon us.

Krik has recently joined forces with singer Sally Thomas(Lead Vocals), and Omega66 made their debut of the more recent material recruiting Adrian Wiggins(Percussion).
