After releasing their debut album Haptics and returning from a successful national tour, Melbourne's own 10-piece heavy funk/soul orchestra The Cactus Channel are back and ready for the coming summer months. Their debut album Haptics has received great critical acclaim worldwide for its genuine and refreshing take on funk and soul.

Not many bands release their first single on seven-inch vinyl these days. Far fewer release two vinyl singles internationally before they turn eighteen. Melbourne funk sensation The Cactus Channel have done just that. Now they’ve graduated High School, they’re taking their own brand of high-octane, instrumental car chase funk and smooth soundtrack soul to the people: On the road and on the airwaves, 2012 is the year The Cactus Channel come of age.
