KATDELIC: a High Energy, Funky, Rockin', All-Original dance-driven Live Music show that
has the club scene abuzz with excitement. RONKAT's music is a combination of funk and rock.
Bridging unbelievably tasteful elements of multi-genres in a musical blend of pure magic,
KATDELIC draws bits of hip hop, touches of gospel and soul-jazz funk into a rockin' heavy
dance-charged hard pop fusion all its own. Think Prince, Rolling Stones, The Roots Sex Pistols,
