" He looks like a latino truck-driver, but don't mistake it, he's THE local guy!"

Big Boss
You didn't know that asian people can play funky stuff? Now you know! Big Boss is from Vietnam and funk is his mojo. Even if you don't agree with him, be careful, apparently his code name has something to do with Kung Fu movies. Take that in your face!!! But when he is in the mood for love, pay attention to his flute..

Mr French Kiss
Ladies beware! This guy is from France, he is specialized in missions where class, charm and juicy trumpet abilities are required. As his code name says, just ask for one! He plays flugelhorn too.

Mr DeeBeeDeeBop
He looks like a latino truck-driver, but don't mistake it, he's THE local guy! With his extra long and large baritone saxophone, he's always in search of the deep funky note. If you want to talk to him, you'd better learn be bop language as soon as possible (or buy him a belgian drink)!

The Answer
Why 'The Answer' ? Ask him, and he'll tell you.. He comes from Switzerland, during his training to become a secret agent, he has been seen and heard on the high mountains playing Alp Horn! If you need some cheesy stuff... just call him!

Sexyfire
Born in the 70's (Yeaahhhhh!!), he discovers jazz music at the age of fifteen... Self-taught at first, he studies music in a private school in Antwerp and goes to the Music Conservatory of Brussels.Into everything, he takes an interest in other instruments (tabla, harmonium, harmonica, piano,…). At the same time, he composes some music for theatre companies and meets Mr Scotch.

Mr Scotch
Born in the 80's (MMMmmmmmhh!!) , thanks to his parents (who are musicians), he gets musical education very soon (at the age of eight). He begins piano and gets involved in jazz music at the age of twelve.
At the present time, he is student at the Music Conservatory of Brussels but he doesn't give up his passions for the potentials of keyboards, samplers, machines...

Captain Thunder
Influenced by rock of the 70's, he's the captain of the groove spaceship.When he plays solo, it reminds you the strenght of the thunder.

Mr Cream
Do you know the "creamy shuffle style" ???..No ?! ..Bad for you !!.. He is the pilot of the groove spaceship and can make you dance among the stars

The story began with a duet, Wakas on guitar and Piotr on Fender Rhodes, they played and shared their passion for music.

One day, they found the Funky Soul Power Sunglasses. Those special glasses gave them tremendous power, Wakas became Sexyfire and began to sing. Piotr became Mr Scotch and developed skills in keyboards, drum machine, samplers… Together they created The Krazy Mess Groovers (The KMG's)
A few years later, secret agents from the spacewide organisation "The Whippersnappers" joined the team, Mr French on trumpet, Big Boss on alto sax, The Answer on trombone, and Mr Dee Bee Dee Bop on baritone sax. Coming along the shaman Djakhabo came out from another galaxy with his flying bass to help the new team with the spreading of love and happiness all over the world.

Finally, the whole team met Lady Soulflower who brought them honey backgrounds and sugar lead vocals.

The Singer
 
I love the Eurosong, I think you realise that. However Belgium often pose interesting questions about where the contest should begin, and where is should most definitely end. More often than not the lowlanders put forward a song that attempts to broaden the boundaries of the ESC experience, which on the face of it is to be applauded. Unfortunately, and without coming across as too cruel, the songs they put forward are so derivative and sub-par that they regularly inspire distaste.
And so we come to the "Krazy Mess Groovers". Right from the get-go, the name might as well have loud warning sirens and flashing red lights accompanying it. Your career opportunites are severely restricted when you have names like "Mr Cream" and "Captain Thunder", and there's every chance fluffing will become a central part of their working day when their music career shortly falters. Still they seem to be enjoying themselves now and there's no reason they shouldn't continue to. One career door closes, and another opens.

The Past
  
Fud and Bob took turns early on to fail miserably, and it took foetus Sandra Kim to finally put Belgium on the map in 1985. Before 1985, Belgium had been a tiny principality whose main export was cartoon stills, monk beer, and tortoiseshell rimmed eyeglasses. Since then they got their teeth into chocolate too. More appropriate mid-table obscurity followed though, until last year's surprising 2nd place for Urban Trad, again going to show that it only takes a peculiar dance routine to get close to winning Eurovision.

The Song
 
Not only do I love Eurosong, but I also like funk....and I suppose it was only a matter of time when some mainland nation had to meld the two together, to inevitably get people dancing and clapping and being cool...... "Love Power" failson all counts. This bastardised hybrid of an act is less a butterfly, and more like Jeff Goldblum at the end of The Fly. The style of music also hides a downright depressing lyric, another reason say that shit is still shit no matter what creature it comes from.

Overall

Reading back through the bile above, I appreciate I've been a tad harsh on the funk sextet (and the other loons). All said, I really haven't a scooby how well this will do. Bland, repetitive, forgettable, but when has that stopped a winner. In a perverted way it reminds me of Lou and Teach In, which is bordering on blasphemy.

In a Nutshell
"Distasteful discharge from Mr Cream"

the philosopher says

soul {Gk. yuch [psychê]; Lat. anima} The active principle present in living things. Plato distinguished three distinct components of the human soul, and Aristotle supposed that plants and animals, no less than human beings, have souls of some sort. Under the influence of Christianity, medieval philosophers focussed on the intellectual component of the human soul, and Descartes identified it as an immaterial substance.

The Krazy Mess Groovers have soul in the same way that a plant or animal has soul, much like a bunch of daffodils, only with greenfly.

Love power

Can you feel the love power?
Can you feel the love?

I wake up every morning
Another day on my own
I'm in the eye of the storm
And I feel so alone

But when I notice the sunshine (Sunshine)
The summer breeze in the air
And when I dream of your sweet smile
Why should I fall into despair?

Can you feel the love power coming your way?
Can you feel the love power all day?
Can you feel the love power coming your way?
(Can you feel the love power?)

Today is another bad day
I'm gonna turn into stone
There's too much pressure on me
And I feel so alone

I feel the temperature rising (Rising)
There's something new in the air
And all the birds are just singing low
Why should I fall into despair?

Can you feel the love power coming your way?
Can you feel the love power all day?
Can you feel the love power coming your way?
(Can you feel the love power?)

(Can't you feel the love power?)
(Can't you feel the love power?)
(Can't you feel the love power?)
Can you feel the love?

(Can you feel the love power coming your way?)
(Can you feel the love power?)

Can you feel the love power coming your way?
Can you feel the love power all day?
Can you feel the love power coming your way?
Can you feel the love power?

One more time, come on (Coming your way)
Can you feel the love power coming your way?
Can't you feel the love power?

Can you feel the love power?
Is he Sam the Eagle who I like
or is he Sexyfire who I don't.
