Cookin' On 3 Burners

Cookin’ On 3 Burners bring their Hammond‑fired funk to Band on the Wall, Manchester, on 3 July 2026. The Melbourne trio channels deep funk, raw soul and a touch of boogaloo into tight, no‑frills grooves driven by Jake Mason’s organ, Ivan Khatchoyan’s drums and Dan West’s guitar. Formed in 1997, they’ve shaped a catalogue that balances tough instrumentals and vocal cuts, from Baked, Broiled & Fried and Soul Messin’ through Blind Bet and the Lab Experiments series. Their soul staple This Girl, recorded with Kylie Auldist and remixed by Kungs in 2016, carried their feel to a global audience and has amassed over two billion plays, without shifting the band’s core DNA.

On stage, the set moves between Hammond‑led workouts and song‑forward moments with guest vocalists. Over the years they’ve teamed with Kylie Auldist, Daniel Merriweather, Stella Angelico and Tex Perkins; for 2026 they roll with a rotating crew of singers that adds new colours to the trio’s grainy pulse. Expect lean grooves, hooky organ lines and breakbeat‑tinged rhythms, cut for a room that wants to move.
