The Boogaloo Investigators /Soul, Funk/

[Funky Monkey]

The Boogaloo Investigators were formed in 2001, originally (and very briefly) as an instrumental group inspired by Booker T & the MG's, The Meters and The Sugarman 3. That idea lasted about a month or two.

Initially playing late 60's and early 70's influenced Funk and Soul music the group's sound almost instantly incorporated an ever growing Rhythm & Blues element, based a lot more around songs with singing in them, as it were. The first 2 singles established the band as a funk band in the eyes of the record buying world. Unfortunately, their live set showed a band playing 60's style dance floor R&B getting booked for countless funk nights.

By the end of 2004, the out and out funk material had disappeared entirely from the live repertoire, although this was still a genre that the group was largely associated with. A change of name became an increasingly attractive proposition.

After touring in 2005 to promote the Dynamighty! album they decided enough was enough and became The Five Aces in 2006. Effectively this happened a year or more prior to that and if you saw the band on any of their tours or mini commando raid trips anywhere in Europe 2005 then you were watching the 5 members of The Five Aces.
