How's that Mercury in retrograde treating you, BISS Listers? Have things been weird? Does it seem like little gremlins have got into everything? Well, at BISS HQ, glitches are at an all-time pain in the ass tonight. So, in the interest of preserving my sanity and getting some sleep, I will just jump straight into this week's picks.
But, before I do that, I have two special treats that I wish to share with you regarding two shows this Saturday.
First, longtime friend of BISS and Grammy Lifetime Achievement winner, Zigaboo Modeliste is playing at Terrapin. In a small attempt to bring awareness to Gun Violence in Schools, he recently released a song called "Guns". Check it out: http://bit.ly/ZigsGuns. Please pass it on to share to help awareness of the Gun Violence all over the world! As you know, Zigaboo Modeliste was the drummer of the legendary funk group the Meters and the late Bernie Worrell of P-Funk. We just call him the King of the Funky Drums.
The other Saturday show I want to tell you about is Delhi 2 Dublin with Five Alarm Funk at the Fillmore. We're excited to get there early to be sure we catch For the Funk Of It returning favorite, Five Alarm Funk. We have an exclusive BISS interview with 5 Alarm Funk drummer Tayo Branston by For The Funk Of It festival founder, Bob Backstrom. Read it here: http://bit.ly/BISSInterviewTayoBranston
