Mondo Freaks drop one more taster ahead of their anticipated debut self-titled album, releasing October 17th on their own Every Star Records.

Saving up the most uplifting track for last, "Put Your Hand In My Hand" is a mid-tempo Funk standout from the Melbourne ten piece, with Jade MacRae delivering maybe her most impassioned vocal yet.

The album will be launched in their hometown of Melbourne on December 12th at Howler in Brunswick.

The band are making waves well beyond the fertile Melbourne Soul scene, with airplay and acclaim coming from the USA, UK, Italy, France and across Europe.

Formed around the rhythm section of in demand session bassist Luke Hodgson and drummer Graeme Pogson (GL, The Bamboos) Mondo Freaks feature some of the best players in Melbourne's Soul scene and were requested to back Boogie and Disco legends Leroy Burgess (Black Ivory, Logg, Aleem, Inner Life, and Universal Robot Band) and the iconic Evelyn "Champagne" King on their Australian tours.

As with all previous singles, the track was mixed by Grammy winner Michael Brauer, who made his name mixing countless Rn'B classics from the likes of Change, BB&Q Band, Was (Not Was), Gwen Guthrie, Grace, Jones, Luther Vandross, Aretha Franklin, Pleasure, Cheryl Lynn, Cerrone, Jones Girls, Kid Creole, Teddy Pendegrass, Morris Day and many more.

Support on previous singles has come from Severino Panzetta (Horse Meat Disco), Dom Servini (Jazz FM), Groove Therapy & Back To Funk (2SER), Tyler Boudreaux(KCRW), Delicieuse Musique, Chris Gill (3RRR), Mike Gurrieri (3PBS), Ennio Styles (3RRR), Dubmission (WYEB, USA), Street Sounds Radio (UK), Solar Radio (UK), Green Arrow (WSUM, USA) and much more.
