At
9:00pm, the Nappyhead Funk Army began their first NYC gig in a while at CODA
(in midtown Manhattan). The band was giving the people some of that "Funk
Army Mash", followed by "Funk Infection 2004", with Prez going
off on some cosmic synthesizer excursion doing the breakdown! Pearl hit the
fans hard with his spicy keyboardisms on "Fly on the Wall"!
"Sexy M.F." was good, but better was the tightened drumming work on
"Tear the Roof Off The Sucka". "God" was a funky, funky
gospel tune with Mark Bass (of RHYTHM REPUBLIK) throwing down on some poppin'
bassisms and Pearl went nuts on keyboards! "Cosmic Slop" featured the
loud 'n' proud rock guitarisms from the axe-slayer himself, Groovalicious!!
"It's What I Do, It's What I Am" was good, but better was "Early
Morning Hornies" with the Bootsified-vocals of the newly-married Eric-Jay
and the very passionate crooning/singing of #9 (the fearless leader of the
NHFA)....the breakdown at the end was definitely memorable, with the heavy
drums and screeching guitar! "Atomic Dog" was an encore song that got
the fans on their feet dancin'! The show was over at 10:45pm.
