JIMMY CASTOR BUNCH
At S.O.B.'s, NYC (8/16/02)
At
8:40pm, the Jimmy Castor Bunch got off to a great beat with "A Groove Will
Make You Move"....a great solid bass line with a bridge section that
sounded a little like "Potential". "Potential" (the next song)
featured super-funky bass riffs, good rhythm guitar riffs and some funny
pronunciations of the word "potential"!!
Much better was the heavily funky
"Supersound", featuring the super-fantastic percussion soloist
himself....The E-Man, Mr. Everything Man, Mr. Troglodyte Supreme, The Funky
Count Dracula..........(drum roll)........Jimmy Castor!!!! Super-heavy bass and
super-funky synthesizer riffs permeated throughout the song and throughout the
entire club!!
"Hey Leroy, Your Mama's Callin' You"
was a good slice of some Latin music, while "Troglodyte
(Cave Man)" had a funky rhythm (the drumwork and the bass riffs were
excellent) to it! Of course, the Cave Man couldn't do without Bertha Butt....so
what followed....."The Bertha Butt Boogie"! The vocal hook is just
too infectious...."Bom bom bubba bom, b-u-m bom bom bom bubba bom"! The funky "Bertha Butt Boogie" was followed
by two ballads, featuring the bad-ass Jimmy Castor on saxophone. "Bang
Bang" (I hope that's the song title?!) was more of the 1950's rock music
type. "It's Just Begun" featured some standout guitarwork and four
dancers from FLASHDANCE doing their thang in the audience. "If You Don't
Want My Lovin, Then Someone Else Will" was followed by "E-Man
Boogie", featuring some great percussion! The show ended at 10:05pm.
