JOHN HICKEY BAND
At Arlene Grocery - NYC (7/23/04)
John Hickey, the guitar assassin!!!
At
11:45pm, the John Hickey Band started out with the funky "Means of Production",
followed by "What I Want to Do"...featuring the funky piano chords of
Gregg Fitz, the lead guitar fire of guitar assassin John Hickey, and some good
background vocals by the birthday girl, Cissy Fitz!! "Down With the Ship"
was a funky excursion by the band, followed by "Rub and
Tug"...featuring the extra-thick bass riffs of Funk-Kin's Billy Perk
Puryear (that bass smoked the walls off of Arlene Grocery), a spicy synthesized
solo by Gregg, and some tight drumming by Troy White!
Cissy Fitz, the
birthday gal!!!
"Know Me Better", "Dead Beat" and "Brokedown"
(too funky!) was followed by the country-funk of "Pot Top", featuring
some smolderin' bass by The Perkulator!! (So much better than the album
version) The ending to this funky set was the devastating funk-rock of
Funkadelic's "Super Stupid"......so much lead guitar slaying shorted
out the woofers & tweeters of the speakers and started out a fire in the
club! (And the ending to "Super Stupid" sounded like the same ending
that Bernie Worrell & the WOO Warriors does). The show ended at 12:30am.
