About Red Diesel are a 5 piece original funk band. Their sound is South Coast Funk, and their thing is playing live.

They have all come from other bands and so are experienced and brilliant musicians, but Red Diesel itself is relatively new. Influences- Kate Bush, Public Enemy, Joe Tex, Aretha, Bootsy Collins, Frank Zappa, Red Hot Chilli peppers, Marvin Gaye, Sly and the Family Stone, Betty Wright, Fatback Band, and Mary Coughlan.

Favourite things - playing live, the small festival circuit, cool small venues where you really play to real people (ie The Rooms) Afro wigs, stylish Huggy Bear threads and live recording. And maybe a spot of drinking. Can be seen regularly at The Rooms once a month as part of a funk night called DUB FISH FUNK, where they are sandwiched by DJs - Max Afro and Dj Ballhead are regulars, who play honest to god foot hurtin funk with a dash of dub and absolutely no fish at all.

Members- Kat,Wil, Caz,Max and Simon. Style
