NAPPYHEAD FUNK ARMY
At the Sports Page Cafe - Lindenhurst, NY (Long
Island) (12/28/02)
At
12:30am, the second set of the Nappyhead Funk Army show started with a new song
called "God Gives You What You Need" (I assume that's the title!)....it
was some great bass-driven funk (thanks to The General) with #9 on funky lead
vocals!! "Cosmic Slop" started with the familiar drumlines from
Ainsley "The Hat" Taylor.....the guitar power from Andy Lassalle and
Groovalicious was very high (naturally!)
"Tear the Roof Off the Sucka" was the
song that got the SIR NOSES off their asses and give up some of dat funk! It
was the song where a clone of Dr. Funkenstein came out of the bathroom and
joined the band on backing vocals and funky attitude (or FUNKITUDE, baby
baba!!)!!!! "Up For the Downstroke" was s'more funky shit with the
Dr. clone still doing his thang with the Nappyhead Funk Army!! The Pearl gave
it up on some cosmic keyboard riffs!!
"Jungle Boogie" was a scorcher
as every vocalist (#9, Red Hot and Eric-Jay) danced about and drew the audience
into another realm of funkdom! "If
Anybody Gets Funked Up (It's Gonna Be You)" was followed by "Pumpin'
It Up/Atomic Dog" featured the sonic keyboard wizardry of Prez and The
Pearl!! "Dirty Vamp" was followed by "It's What I Do, It's What
I Am" which featured a super bass workout by The General!! "Bottoms
Up" ended with a good portion of Bootsy's Rubber Band's "Rubber
Duckie"!! "Red Hot Momma", "One Nation Under a Groove"
and "Knee Deep" ended the funky show at 2:00am.
