NAPPYHEAD FUNK ARMY
At Downtown - Farmingdale, NY (Long Island)
(3/30/02)
At 10:15pm, the Nappyhead Funk Army started
with a majestic intro, similar to the show at
Someplace Else on March 8, 2002. Vocalist Eric J. was onstage, showing
off his bedsheet gown complete with funky scribblings a la Dr. Funkenstein
himself, George Clinton!! "Funk Y2K Infection" was good with
Prez's funky keyboarding, but "Fly on the Wall" was completely
off-the-wall with some stank-ass, heavy-duty, synthesized riffs by The
Pearl........The Pearl seemed to be having a grand mal seizure while on the
keyboards.....the synth riffs filled the Downtown Cafe with an intoxicating
scent!! "Sexy MF" featured the sexy diva Tanya Thillet on vocals.
"Tear the Roof Off the Sucka" was good and "Every Dog Has Its
Day" included a PG-rated version of a verse from Funkadelic's "Take
Your Dead Ass Home", as requested by the funky & fearless Nappyheaded
leader, #9!!! "Come Together" (dedicated to George Harrison) was da
bomb......of course, thanks to the guitar army (Groovalicious, Andre "The
Flash" Lassalle, and Carlton "The General" Collier)! "Red
Hot Momma" was tackled perfectly by the lovely, sizzling hot, army angel
herself, Tanya "First Lady of Nappyhead Funk" Thillet! Her vocals
were as sizzling as the guitar army, and tight as the drumming of The
Technician (Kevin Harrington)! I can't remember if it was during "Red Hot
Momma" or "Jungle Boogie" that Tanya jumped to the dancefloor
and did a mean split! She danced among the dazed fans (dazed at her energy
level and beauty) like a madwoman! "Dirty Vamp" was great, with the
inspirational words written by #9, great vocals by Tanya and #9, and a rap
provided by Eric J! The outro was like the intro, but I noticed that Andre (I
mean, The Flash) playing some serious hardcore guitar rock.....just enough to
begin melting the speakers!! The show was over at 11:20pm.
