FUNKFACE
At Sin-e - NYC (5/27/06)
A luscious babe "almost" bares her bossom before Luqman Brown and the
fans!!
I
arrived at Sin-e a little late (at 10:40pm) and missed the first four songs by
Funkface, "Zoo York City", "Broken Toys",
"Lickshot" and "Something's Goin' On". They were performing
this really sappy love song called "You and I" (just a hint,
fellas...."gayishly tender stuff like this is NOT what you guys are
about!") Funkface returned to true form with the uptempo funk-rock tune
"Summertime". "Sweetback" was so sweet with the lead vocals
of the rock crooner Jerome Jordan and the deeper lead vocals of the insane-in-the-membrain
Luqman Brown! Amidst the lead guitar blasts of Tudor & Tim Groove and solid
basslines of Frankiebeans, the vocalists decided to have the audience
participate in a lengthy call-and-response. "This side is better than
yours, this side is better than yours." (something like that) The band
slowed it down again for the song "Time". The next song was a
head-banging punk-ska tune called "Angry", featuring Luqman on
trombone. The fans were feelin' the funk-rock of "Down in the Bayou".
The ringmaster Luqman announced that it's time to "rock out with your Bok
out" and invited three string (cello & violin) players to the stage.
It was an interesting mixture of the classical and the hardcore rock...the song
was called "Bruce Banner". Some punishing rock guitarisms and
drumming by drummer Ramsey Jones was the order of the day!! Funkface ended
their set at 11:45pm, but not before performing "Blood of the
Sistren"...more punishing, lethal hardcore rock guitarisms...so much that
a few fans were moshing to the metal sound!!
