THE FUNK DYNASTY
At the Nutty Irishman - Farmingdale, NY (1/19/08)
Eric-Jay as the funky overlord of THE FUNK DYNASTY!
At
9:30pm, the funk party began with the sounds of The Funk Dynasty doing their
rendition of the P-Funk classic, "P-Funk (Wants to Get Funked Up)",
featuring the hot saxophone funk of NYC's horniest player (lol!) Dave Mullen! THIS WAS A SPECIAL EVENT BECAUSE THIS SHOW
WAS A BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION FOR ONE DR. BROOKENSTEIN (born 1/17), SO IT HAD TO
BE FONKAY!!
Eric-Jay played the dark-shades-clad frontman enticing the crowd to give up the
funk, and Alisa Michaels & Groovalicious were the backing vocalists. Next
up was the 1973 classic "Cosmic Slop", featuring (of course)
Groovalicious on blazin' rock guitarisms & passionate lead vocals by Alisa!
The band played the music of "Let's Take It to The Stage", while the
vocalists performed the lyrics to the chorus of "Rhythm & Rhyme"
(a clean version), "Let's Take It to The Stage" (itself) and a piece
of "Take Your Dead Ass Home"....the scratch guitaring of
Groovalicious was what the doctor ordered....just FONKAY! Groovalicious threw
down HARD on a lead guitar solo on "Night of the Thumpasorus
Peoples", while Eric-Jay took the lead vocal spotlight on James Brown's
"Payback". "Maggot Brain" was very good, but I liked the
electrifying performance of "Dog Star" (with the raw energy of Groovalicious
on guitar, Gary Bordies on bass, and Lamar on drums)! "Red Hot Momma"
was a lead vocal spotlight for Alisa, and featured some good percussion by
Eric-Jay on congas & Walter on cowbell. "Get It Together" (a
James Brown cut) was pretty good, but better was the performance of
"Atomic Dog", featuring a spacy synthesizer solo by The Pearl! The
funk party was over at 11:00pm.
The Star of the Evening!
Another shot of the Birthday Star!
You can never have too many stars, baba! This one is saxophonist Dave Mullen!
