I Got Spirit
Nice live War track with Eric Burdon, circa 1971.
Need I remind everyone that this was the last band Jimi Hendrix jammed with before his demise? Damn you pills taking Jimi away from us.
Dayton’s On The Mothership
More classic Ohio funk for you, this time from Faze-O. Dayton & Cinci are really making their pitch as the home of funk and I like it. So many good funk bands and all kinds of killer players came out of those two towns. If you expand regionally to include places like Cleveland & Detroit you can develop a true sense for how important the upper midwest was to american music, particularly soul, rock and pop.
Tighten Up Your Stroke
Live Ohio funk on prime-time TV? Watch the set turn into a huge party a few minutes in. Oh the seventies, oh the seventies...
Rare TV Funk
TV appearances by funk artists are usually stunted affairs of forced funk, easily mocked and pulled away from for commercial break. I had never seen this Sly performance from 1983, playing with Letterman's Paul Shaffer band. The tempo a bit fast in these 80's renditions but Sly is in good spirit and voice so it's all good.
Before Google There Was… Speech
Genre jumping again, I know. Check this funky little thang a few years back from an amazing band that played the music business blues in the nineties then dropped from the scene.
Clean Sweepin The Jango
OK so none of our bands have hit the Jango Global Top 10 yet, but we are definitely on a run over at Jango.
Last week, the 4 Flux-adel bands that are on Jango - Roaming Crazy, 2MERICA, The Stares 20/20, and Ezraz -- all scored high enough for the bonus round. Each of our artists does well overall on Jango, but we've never had all of them score high in the same week. Very cool!
Fans are collecting from around the world (without facebook's help), so however you listen to music online or off, do some promotion for our fun little Flux-adel family.
ps -- we are planning a huge release party this summer for all Flux-adel Artists -- stay tuned for more info soon.
Out Here Trying To Be A Star
Junie doing his thing solo on Westbound before joining up with P-Funk.
When Will The People?
The power and strength of the original Parliaments, backed by the young Funkadelics, recorded properly.... yummy.
Another Lost Gem
This one's local: Cleveland’s Black Rock Legacy: Purple Image. This band was based in the same neighborhood as The Flux-adel Recording Division's current home, and you might have heard of the Bone Thugs 'n Harmony, another band from this part of town.
True lyrics from the east side of Cleveland. You want tough? We know tough.
As a side note to the excellent music, what's with the word-bending genre divisions going on with music? This is clearly to me some serious rock and roll, as soulful and heavy as anything I've heard. So don't let color get in the way of your descriptions, just enjoy the beauty and reality of your surroundings.
Rare P-Funk Ditty
This one didn't make it out whenever they made it, but ended up on one of the rarities collections: Check it out, it's "Stink Finger", one of the smoothest little p-funk jams i've heard in a bit.
This track is part the new playlist I'm making of P-Funk rarities and randoms. We'll have a gallery on WFNK.com soon, but until then check it at the tube: Rare a P's
She Says I Am The One
After hearing his cover of "I'll Always Love You" I heard about this cover, another monster. Who would have thunk it? It's pretty cool to hear this classic song re-arranged.
