Here For You Here For You
From His Bottle From His Bottle
Blue Funk Blue Funk
In its 6 year span concocted a strange groove, a Jamulian brew of peculiar funk. Rock with many nods to psychedelia, rap and jazz, with sprinkles of country and latin sway, brooding songs with catchy sounds aloft a swingingly stiff, often atonal mess of introspection and parody. The Sartre-riddled kids played some arty shit, and possessed an uncanny ability to drop their pants in unison at the flick of a light switch.
Forged and sloppily polished in a secretive compound in Jamul (the DeZonia bunker, a.k.a. Jamul A-Go-Go), these intrepid self-taught new funking wave brothers, delivered a unique version of romanticismic bounce to eager, strained ears in the San Diego area. During their tenure, 1982 to 1988, they shared the stage with bands like Midnight Oil, Fishbone, Ministry, Camper Van Beethoven, Adrian Belew's The Bears and many others.
Here you will find traces of it then, and what remains of it now, basically damn good songs reinterpreted by two of the original members, reunited funk brothers and , who with walking sticks and a greying sound infuse the tunes with some 20 years of living, the result being a sweetly sour musical smorgasbord to fill the aural bellies of demanding sonic gluttons. The awesome talents of guests and on various tunes bring new blood, and the contributions from Ray and (of the original brood) have added a healthy dose of personality.
A full length CD is in the works and live performances are lining up. Hope to see you out there....
