GIG: Funky Fred Wesley @ The Powerstation - Thurs 21st March
This is one not to miss!! Funky Fred Wesley, one of the architects of Funk music was a integral part of James Brown & the J.B.'s as well as George Clinton's Parliament/Funkadelic
TICKETS AVAILABLE HEREThere is no doubt that New Zealand music fans love a good dose of funk. George Clinton’s Parlaiment/Funkadelic thang nearly brought the house down when they performed at The Powerstation two years ago. Now, one of the prime architects of the P-Funk groove will bring his own take on the funk to the very same venue.
FUNKY FRED WESLEY was an integral part of the P-Funk dynasty in the 1970s. In addition to playing on such classic Parliament jams as The Clones Of Dr. Funkenstein and Motor Booty Affair, Fred fronted the righteously funky Horny Horns, a group that also featured fellow James Brown alumni Maceo Parker Richard “Kush” Griffith. Together they laid down some of the nastiest grooves of the 70s on their album A Blow For Me, A Toot To You which was produced by their P-Funk brethren George Clinton and Bootsy Collins.
Now is your chance to experience the funk live as Fred Wesley and his all-star band bring their audacious talent to The Powerstation. You can bet that Fred and his mighty trombone with be reaching back to the classics he laid down with James Brown and The JBs and the P-Funk thang. And knowing Fred, he’ll be looking to the future, taking the funk into places it’s never been before. Be there!
