THE FATBACK BAND REUNION!

On Sunday December 27th, The Fatback Band will perform their first US gig in 15 years at the Union Square Ballroom. I didn't grow up with their music, but I got to know them when I moved to NYC and GOTTA GET MY HANDS ON SOME (MONEY) was lighting up the dancefloor at the Pyramid. Maybe they were more of a regional thing. Other hits include I FOUND LOVIN' and SPANISH HUSTLE. After a little googling, I realized that a young Debra Cooper was one of their back-up singers before she left to sing with the divine group Change, later recording with C & C Music Factory and having her own solo smash PRIDE (A DEEPER LOVE). I'll bet she has some tales to tell!



FROM THE INVITE:

The legendary Fatback Band is one of the greatest dance/funk bands of all time. Back in the day in NYC, they ruled both the street & the dancefloor and they haven't played a gig in NYC in over 15 years, because they have been on a mission to FUNKIFIZE Europe & Japan.

Well...

Maybe you noticed this on this week's Soul-Patrol Times and maybe you didn't. But I just wanted to make sure that you got the word. With all of the bad news on the economic front, I could sure use a SERIOUS injection of THA FUNK in my life, just about now and I think that this is going to be it!!!

And I'm not talkin about no "fake funk" or "light funk", I'm talkin about that greasy azz gutbucket sweatbox kinda funk that you can's peel off of tha walls unless you have a brand new putty knife.

(BUNNY NOTE: THAT IS SOME SERIOUS FUNK!)

I haven't seen the Fatback Band live, since I was a teenager. Oh I've heard their live album, recorded in Japan a year or so ago, so I know that they still deliver what few others in the history of Black music have been able to deliver. Check out the FATBACK BAND LIVE on Soul-Patrol.Net Radio at the following link and listen for yourself....

(BUNNY NOTE: THIS IS DEFINITELY WORTH A LISTEN!)

The legendary Fatback Band is one of the greatest dance/funk bands of all time. When I was a teenager in NYC, the Fatback Band ruled BOTH the street & the dance floor. Well they haven't played a gig in NYC in over 15 years, because they have been on a mission to FUNKIFIZE Europe & Japan. However in 2008, the mainstream media claims that NYC mired in a recession, , NYC with 200,000 in people facing unemployment in Financial services jobs, is actually looking at a DEPRESSION.

Here's a review which must have been written by a publicist.

Smell me, Feel me, Touch me! December 19, 2008

Reviewer: jerry sandusky from Rochester Hills, MI United States

I received my Flame cologne 3 days ago...the last 72 hours have been amazing. As soon as it arrived I decided to spritz my neck with a tiny sampling before heading out to do some grocery shopping. At first I thought it was coincidence...I saw two different ladies in the produce area tilt their head back as their eyebrows raised, then slowly, slowly lowered. Then again, in the deli, a gaze of familar wonderment overcame a female patron as I stood next to her as she oogled the $8.99/lb. roast beef. Ten minutes later, at the fresh meat counter, I bumped into Betty... As she asked the butcher for a 16 oz. porterhouse, she must have "sensed" me... She said "Hi", nostrils flared. Needless to say, the ground chuck wasnt the only grinding going on this night... Thanks BK!!!

MEAT YOU ON THE DANCEFLOOR!
