"What We Came For" EP Release Face Book Event
Afrolicious has been rolling strong. The guests have been off tha hook, we look forward to many more amazing guest in store throughout the rest of the funky season. We have not been so good about updating this here blog, I promise to be better about it starting today.....
First wanted to mention that we are celebrating the official release of the Pleasuremaker Band EP entitled "What We Came For." Ultimately we came to get down. The music made on this EP was done in San Francisco with some veteran players from the Bay Area scene and is a reflection of the genre bending spirit of this city. The players all came together in one room, like bands did it back in the day, and played. In the end we added in some electronic elements but this is an organic recording for the most part, with an obvious love for the old funk, and afro-beat sounds of the 70's.
What did we come for? We also came here to be more aware of the things done around the world and our own communities in the name of justice and democracy, that are sometimes pushing oppressive, destructive, and even murderous agendas. These songs were wrote during some dark days in this countries history "the Bush Years." From invading other countries, championing torture, neglecting our own suffering people during Katrina and paying no attention to poverty in general, corporate scandals, no-bid contracts, war profiteering, not to mention failed economic policy, and on top of all that this country is still bogged down in two senseless wars. This EP and band is about bringin' folks together on the dance floor and focusing on having a damn good time, while still paying attention to what is going on.
This EP is now available on-line if you are unable to attend the party Thursday October 1st @ the Elbo Room, where you will receive a CD w- the admission price.
