Mean Poppa Lean
Funk / Soul / Rock
Brighton,
UK
Mean Poppa Lean is a work in progress, and let's not forget that. Made up of ex-members of Hedroom and current members of They? and The Lodge, Mean Poppa Lean intend to bring back funk the way it was meant to be played, and return rock and roll shows to their former glory. Expect a live event like nothing you've EVER seen before, and music that will groove people out all over the shop. The UK's best band are under construction, and here's a little sneak peek.
Band Members
Mean Poppa Lean is a product of the imagination of Christian Barnes and Alex Camp. It is realised with the help of many talented musicians, and we're still looking for talented, committed musicians and one-of-a-kind personalities in the Brighton area to join potentially the most original up-and-coming band in the country. E-mail us for more details.
