The funk innovator and maestro will be touring the East Coast with P-Funk this Spring, bringing fans his inimitable style and curation of sound that has made him a globally renowned superstar.

Lawrence Mooney - Dead Set Country - Surfers Paradise
Mooney's gone country. Deep country. Dead Set Country. He likes the word country because it's got a rude word in it if you EMPHasise it properly. Dead Set Country is Lawrence's brand new hit show that's all about a city boy gone bush. Roughed up by locals, mourning dead wombats, talking with horses and having an abiding affair with a tractor - in short Mooney is Dead Set Country. Following on from the acclaim for his past three shows Beauty, Embracing Your Limitations and Pigeonhole he's back with Dead Set Country. This time he's covered in dust, speaking slower and line dancing. It's Clarkson's Farm meets Lawrence Mooney's head on collision with country Australia. "You're not from round here are ya mister?"
