Time Flies is a true funk band from Amsterdam, with no less than ten band members.
Three vocalists, who efforlessly switch between lead and backing vocals, a three-piece horn section, the funkiest of guitars and keys, and a powerful rhythm section. The repertoire consists of the fattest funk, but they don’t forget about the funk-rock variety. And there’s even room for the occasional soul slow jam. In short, music for lovers of music. You can dance to it, swing to it, even clean your living room to it. One thing you can’t do: sit still to it. Tip: wear comfortable shoes.
Tobias Bader (Cosmic Circus) is a singer-songwriter inspired by the music of the sixties and seventies with a voice in which Neil Young and David Bowie resound. He plays melodic and catchy songs about the galaxy and the salvation that might be found there. He is accompanied by Ute Apfelstedt (passionflower) on violin and backing vocals.
