OK.... I too am looking to put together a funk band, concentrating at first on some covers, add some originals & see how it goes.

I play bass (12 yrs) & have a lot of production & recording experience (i've been signed) & am looking for:

- front man/vocalist (gotsta *drip* funk & have great stage presence)
- rhythm guitar (funky chunky wah scratch)
- keys. clav would be great (maybe instead of r.guitar), but anyone who can snake around the beat
- horns. a whole horn section would be dynamite, but we can put it together.
- super tight drummer (jk are you in?)

the idea is to get some tunes worked up, play around town, get a following, have a hellofalot of fun & perhaps start working on some originals & see where it takes us.

looking for experienced musicians.. don't really care how old you are as long as you have a ton of energy & can play tight & have experience on stage. It would be nice to jam out so it would be nice if you can improvise.

Think:
James Brown
Funkadelic / G. Clinton
THe Meters
Sly & the family stone
Average White Band
Medeski Martin & Wood
...and also some more modern hip-hoppy stuff (people under the stairs, mos def, etc). I've got a wide open mind for the music we play as long as it's entertaining to a bar crowd. SOme groove/rock is also ok, but I don't want a "rock band".

We would practice 1-2 times per week whenever fits our schedules, most probably at one of the jam spaces in town unless someone has a practice space available.

call me at 516-477 if you're interested or email me at [email protected] . I'd like to get this going asap for summer.

yo, punk, the seat is taken, this bass drum heavy muthafunka is poised to funk you up, bring that fat subsonic deep dub downtempo jazzfunk bassline over to my ultrahip country house or cue up the ol' reel to reel and make room in that tiny little mad professor studio over there by the sea, time to get funky, you and me... and the rest of the crew that is lurking waiting for their summons... yo dog, gimme a call or I'll ring ya up soon... been bizzy as usual but have sum time.
