PAPA GROWS FUNK
At North by Northwest (NXNW) - Philly
(6/3/05)
Funky keyboardist/vocalist John Gros!!
At 10:35pm, New Orleans funk band Papa Grows Funk started
the first set with a wild, super-funky instrumental jam, featuring the blazing
guitar riffs of June Yamagishi, churning organ riffs of John Gros, horny
saxophone horns of Jason Mingledorff, super-tight drumming of Jeffrey
"Jellybean" Alexander, and some monstrous bass riffs! New song
"Rat-a-Tang-Tang" featured the soulful vocals of John Gros.
"Doin' It" was another long, funky jam session which segued into a
new song called "Big Wind", featuring some more hot guitar licks by
June! All of these tunes and a few another made for a great show, which ended
at 11:50pm.
