Artist of the Month: Mufassa

It’s time we set aside our previous notions that Mufassa is the King of the Jungle, or that unfortunate condition of the male genitalia that you’ve read about on Urban Dictionary (here).

Rather, Mufassa is one of Portland’s most promising new bands who play a powerful blend of soulful, bluesy garage rock, reminiscent to the genious of King Kahn. And, as voted by the people, Mufassa is The Deli Portland’s current Artist of the Month! The group is currently working on a new album, of which they gave listeners a taste last month with their single Johnny. The track is an epic dancy rocker, showcasing classic rock’n roll guitar riffage, and gentle soulful vocals like that of a higher pitch Elvis. Take a listen for yourself and keep an eye out for their next album. – Travis Leipzig
