ENEMY SQUAD
At MIT - Boston, MA (9/07/02)
I arrived at a MIT fraternity house at 7:00pm and waited for the arrival
of K-Funkstar and his fiancee, Barbara Johnson. This was a private party
featuring the Detroit funk band, Enemy Squad! At 10:00pm, the E-Squad team
arrived and prepared for a night of turning out the MIT students on some real
funk-rock shit!
The Undisco Kidd does it again!!!!!
At 11:30pm, Enemy Squad let loose a venomous
attack of Detroit Rock City funk shit......some intergalactic excursion into
some uncharted, chaotic universe......it was called "Welcome to the
Millennium"! "Return of the Swamp Thang" continued with some
more megawatt funk-rock....some stank bass (by K.C.), fiery guitar riffs (by Ron
Smith) and some tight, funky drumming (by the Undisco Kidd himself, Gabe
Gonzalez)! The Original PFunk keyboardist, Pete Piscaryzk, gave up the funk on
"Loose Booty"! "If It Fits (Do You Swear It?)" was good,
and was followed by some chanting of "Pussy"!! "Head" was
really good (DID I SAY THAT?!)....with some stank-ass bassisms, some
funkalicious vocals by the ever-so-funky K.C. and some super-funky additional
vocals by K-Funkstar (who walked about the house with his wireless mic.......I
love this guy better than Keith Thomas)!! "Anti-Prozac" was some
sleazy-funk shit with the cool vocals of Gabe Gonzalez!! At 12:15am, as Enemy Squad was groovin' on the latin tip, the
cops showed up to stop the party (sound like some "Martial Law"
shit!! CURFEW AIN'T GONNA GET IT!! Listenin' is a go-go.......groovin' is
so-so........funkin' is NOT allowed!! "They say, 'it's illegal'!")
The amazing K-Funkstar.....what will he do
next??!!
After 45 minutes, the show resumed with a long instrumental jam with some conga
drumming by K-Funkstar!! "Good to Your Earhole" was
stankalicious....funky drums prevailed and keyboardisms were off da hook!
"Prankster Boogie" and "Trick Chick Jane" were some
super-dopalicious party vibe shit!! (DETROIT FUNK ROCKS!!!) "Alice in My
Fantasies" was some high-octane, explosive rock shit that got the
audience's energy level to a new level!! (One criticism: they need a second
guitarist to seriously do a heavy-duty solo on the breakdown of the song.) As
the band was on some other shit on "We're on Sum Other Shit", they
followed it with the "Dirty Rap" portion of the show, with "We
be funkin' over here, up there ain't shit!", "Take Your Dead Ass
Home" and "Let's Take it to The Stage"! "United State of
Mind" was the funky ending to this extravaganza, with Gabe standing up on
his chair, playing the shit out of his drums!!!!!! The show was over at 2:30am.
