FUNKY DINGUS
with T.U.F.(Trampled Under Foot) and The Funky Palm Trees
At the Mill Creek Tavern - Philly (9/16/04)
K-Floor's Nick Schnebelen leads T.U.F.!!!
At
10:00pm, T.U.F. (Trampled Under Foot) started their set with some good funky
blues with ripping guitarisms by K-Floor's Nick Schnebelen! The second song
featured some solid bass riffs with a lead vocal by the female bassist. T.U.F.
performed a great blues ballad, featuring Nick on some hellified guitar
soloing, followed by a jazzier funk tune which led into some funky rock shit!!
The last tune was a rock tune with some tight drumming. The T.U.F. set was over
at 10:45pm.

The
Funky Palm Trees began their set at 11:00pm.....they are a relatively
lightweight funk band (more in the vein of pop). The most memorable part of
their 45-minute set was the performance of the James Brown tune "Get Up (I
Feel Like Being a Sex Machine)"....half of the audience was jamming to the
funky guitarisms....make you wanna say, "HEEEEEEEEEYYYYYYYYY!!!"
Rubber Toni & T-Funk joined in on vocals and tamborine (respectively) and
it was a real party! The Funky Palm Trees set was over at11:45pm.

At
12:00 midnight, the Funky Dingus started their set with some MAD, MAD FUNKY
FLAVA, courtesy of the band's main members, Rubber Toni (lead vocals, attitude),
Coco (drums), T-Funk (bass, additional vocals) and Sean Vargus (guitar)!!!! The
ALL-ORIGINAL set was da bomb with some searing guitar riffing by Sean and a
couple of moments of tight drumming by Coco! Rubber Toni is a crazy individual
who likes to "grind" on the stage floor (reminiscent of Prince's
DARLING NIKKI performance in the film PURPLE PAIN) and dance with the audience!
The most memorable part of the set was T-Funk mad vocal & seimic bass romp
on the song "Funky Madman"!! The Funky Dingus set was over at 1:00am.
