Usually I only put stuff up here thats out of print, rare, or something likewise . I sorta feel guilty posting these few mp3s for free and I know I shouldn't be doing it but I really think in the long run it helps rather than hinders. For example,I was turned on to these guys buy way of a USB drive full of pirated music. Their album "The Killion Floor" was on there and I was floored the first time I heard it. I knew Ubiquity was a label to watch but how these guys had flown under my radar for ao long is a still mystery. The guys were hot!.
The instrumentals are all funky break rumpshakers that got a groove a mile deep and twice as long. . Killer beats, killer horns , its a nine piece band so they've got a little bit of everything going on in there except maybe a banjo and a washboard. And if i stopped at the instrumentals these guys would be killer . PERIOD. But fortunately it doesn't stop with the instrumental funky groovers. Thats just where it starts. And when one Fanny Franklin steps behind that microphone - look the fuck out!!!! This chick can jump, jive, and wail. Shes got a voice that just stands above the rest. I'm sure the comparison has been made before but she was like " ALL TINA, NO IKE" . She reminded me of a young, hungry Tina Turner , only better because hopefully some coked-up fool wasn't smacking her around after the show .
The guys hail from LA. so they're about as west coast as they're gonna get from the east coast. I had recently changed shifts at work and was now in the pilot seat of a cushy 8-4 monday thru friday position. so as Im leaving work the second week of working 8-4 i get a text that says..... ORGONE- FREE SHOW @ Applalchian Brewing Company tonight. So not only are they gonna be less than an hour from my house, they're gonna play for free....... at one of the better brewpubs in Harrisburg. I can't fucking lose. this is great!. I call up my friend Rammer , a friend who is almost always up to get down with some live music, to see if he's in for the ride. He agrees and I scramble to fit in my evening workout, and find a piece of headfood for the show before i pick him up. we wind up parking next to the van bus in the load-in/ load-out area behind ABC.
We make the trip to harriasburg, enjoy a great meal ( the rare tuna over grilled casear salad is incredible.) we have a few beers and just in time for the music to start. theres probably only maybe 25 maybe 30 max people in the entire place but they put on a show like it was 130..... they played for about and hour and a half straight and called it an evening. they hung out at the merch table for a while, were very gracious about signing the vinyl I'd purchased 3 LPs and 1-12inch. these guys were great, I know they're playing some festivals this summer and I encourage you to check'em out.....and if ya get to meet them , tell'em ya know kingskunk45 from the Harrisburg show and they might remember me........ Since we 'd been parked beside them all night , we graciously accepted their invitation to hop in the van and chill for a while before we went home. We bull-shitted, talked music , ect for a while and then began the trip back to C-Burg.
Which brings me back around to my original point about giving their music away for free here. If it hadn't been for pirated music I'd have never been turned onto this band , nor would i have gone to the show ( which I would have paid admission to see) or purchased $60 worth of their vinyl records. And so I'm gonna allow a bit more of pirated music help turn you on to them too. I'm facebook friends with the band so there is a good chance they'll see this. Hopefully they'll be cool with it,.. if not just send me an email and I'll take down the downloads. I think you guys are great and obviously im not trying to make a buck off of your name,. im just trying to turn more people onto your music.
