Sonic Delusion

Too funky for folk and too folky for funk - that’s Sonic Delusion’s happy, funky & groovy indie pop.
In his boogielicious live performances, Sonic Delusion uses his well worn loop pedal with an array of instruments to skillfully layer and create an irresistible sound that is bursting with more funk than folk can handle.
The vibrant Swiss-kiwi, high-energy performer, Sonic Delusion (André Manella) has played over 1000 live shows at venues and festivals across Switzerland, New Zealand, Australia and Germany over the past 10 years.
He’s joined by french import Sev Thiebaut on latin flavored keys and funky bass, and the token kiwi Ben Dixon on drums.

“Sonic Delusion is funny, fresh and funky…a welcome breath of entertainment, joy, fun and smiles”

“catchy melodic hooks that make you want to get up and dance”
