i first ran across the band some months ago, i believe following a link from Wendy & Lisa's website, if memory serves. Theirs or Shelia E.'s, probably. (You bet your ass i can name drop Revolution types with the best of them, thank you very much). Fdeluxe was offering up a free single at the time, and just today i received an update from their email list informing me of a new rough mix track.
The band currently consists of St. Paul Peterson, Susannah Melvoin, Eric Leeds and Jellybean Johnson. Newer track "Gaslight" is a funk workout. Melvoin's vocals are a bit more weathered, but no less sultry. When Leeds' horns drop in, well, it's a party, 'nuff said. Johnson and Peterson provide a backbone groove you just can't find anymore these days, it sadly seems.
i suppose that's all about to change, though, isn't it? Let the Funkolution proceed!
