Dumpstaphunk
Recently, Greg Hester turned me onto Dumpstaphunk. If you love the Meters, than you gotta check these guys out. Led by Ivan Neville (piano/organ) and Ian Neville (guitar), sons of Aaron Neville and Art Neville, and rounded out by Nick Daniels (guitar), Raymond Weber (drums) and Tony Hall (bass), Dumpstaphunk pushes the envelope of exploratory funk jams to a new level with tunes like Stinky, Meanwhile and Livin in a World Gone Mad. These players are simply fantastic! Having played with musicians like Trey Anastasio, Robert Randolph and Etta James, these guys are living up to their disclaimer: "the nastiest, most serial crushin funk to ever come out of New Orleans and beyond." They're playing NYE if you're heading to Fish City; I don't think you'll be disappointed.
These guys are just too good not to get the word out.
