CLONES OF FUNK MOB REUNION
At the Salvation Army - Annapolis, MD (8/02/03)
The Clones of Funk Supreme Vocalist, Wesley Beann!!!
At 11:40pm (after a hour of some funky music from
another local funk band), the Clones of Funk started their Reunion Funk Mob
show with some "Gamin' on Ya", featuring the superbad spicy
keyboardisms of Gene McBride (original Clone)! "Up For the Down Stroke/I
Can Move You If You Let Me" was followed by the hardcore,
shake-your-rump-to-the-funk grooves of "Good to Your Earhole",
featuring the powerful drumming of Mark Brown, fiery lead guitarisms of Mike
McHenry and excellent lead vocalizations by the Funky Duo, Scrape and Wesley
Beann!!! "Aqua Boogie", the super-long funkathon, was topped by
"Comin' Round the Mountain" featuring the thumpin' sounds of bassman
Terre Holland, good lead guitarisms & more heavy drumming!

"Maggot Brain" featured the insane bassisms of Original Clone bassist
Jerry...."Maggot Brain" also was shred to pieces by the white-hot
lead guitar power of Mike McHenry!!! "Red Hot Momma" was another Mike
McHenry masterpiece. "Cosmic Slop" was smoked to death by the
smoldering bass funk of Terre......UH, TERRE, TERRE....UH, HE'S SO SCARY,
BABA!!! On a smaller low note, Wesley and Mike were dancing about and
somehow tripped, knocking out the power cable to Terre's bass.....so, Terre was
playing "unplugged" for a minute or two. "Flashlight"
featured some more funky, funky bassisms and some funky horns, provided by
Jerry Queene and Mike!! The show was over at 1:40am.
