Cookin' on 3 Burners

Cookin' On 3 Burners are a band from Melbourne, Victoria that formed in 2000. They consist of Jake Mason, Ivan Khatchoyan and Lance Ferguson (The Bamboos), a three piece powerhouse who serve up the rawest in deep funk, jazz, boogaloo and soul. Led by a wailing Hammond Organ, they are distinctly different to many other funk acts, yet you'll be no stranger to the grooves and pounding drums . After a number of Melbourne residencies and a self released 7", the group came to local prominence with the 'Cressy St Breakdown' 12" released on Knowfoowl thru USA's Groove Distribution. This was followed by the re-release of 'Gravel Rash' through UK's Freestyle label and then a follow up 7" 'Keb's Bucket' (an ode to the Scottish DJ's legendary pee bucket he needs when he plays for many hours). The group have continued to play across Sydney and Melbourne over the last 12 months, with highlight gigs including the support for Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings '06 Sydney show, support for Breakestra's Music Man Miles DJ show in Melbourne and a mammoth 3 gigs in under 24 hours over the '07 ANZAC day holiday in Sydney.
