Band story

Funkalicious

The band was formed in 2000 [ [http://www.excusememoses.com/divfiles/biografie.pdf Official biography (German, PDF)] ] under the name "Funkalicious". They produced the EP "Deduction" in 2002 and released their album "Perfekta" in 2004 which shortly appeared on #42 [ [http://charts.orf.at/oe3/records/111351/main?charttype=longplay&tmp=10531 "Perfekta" in the Ö3 longplay charts] ] in the Austrian charts. They didn't reach a broad audience with their Funk rock music style. After Gerhard Bergauer had left the band in May 2005, Martin Scheer appeared at the drums. "Funkalicious" redefined themselves as "Excuse Me Moses" and emphasized their style on rock music.
