“Funkageddon - 2012”
starring - GRAND SLAM
feat. GARY “MUDBONE COOPER” (USA/D/CH)
- LIGE CURRY & NAKED FUNK (USA)
Grand Slam’s 10 funkateers have been cooking their Funk-stew since 1985. Deeply rooted in the P-Funk and Soul tradition these musicians are well-known to throw a fair amount of extra spices like Rock, HipHop and Jazz in their Funk-pot to create a very much original and unmistakable sound. The multinational line-up consists of longtime pros from Germany, Switzerland and the USA. Since May 2010 they are celebrating their on-stage Silver Jubilee.
And now it’s startime: After a 10-year-break he is finally back: Living Funk-legend, vocalist extraordinaire GARY “MUDBONE” COOPER will hit the stage with Grand Slam. The original frontground voice of Bootsy’s RubberBand, lead vocalist with George Clinton’s P-Funk Allstars and Parliament/Funkadelic has been part of more than 400 album productions as singer, drummer, arranger, writer and producer. In his 40+ years enduring professional career he has sold more than 20 million records and has been inducted to the Rock & Roll Hall of fame as a member of Parliament/Funkadelic. Recent works include stage and studio stints with the likes of Pink, Bob Dylan, The Black Crowes and Dave Stewart.
As a second headliner we proudly present P-Funk veteran LIGE CURRY. The legendary bass-player and singer presents his solo-project NAKED FUNK for the first time live in Europe. As a longtime member of Parliament/Funkadelic (since 1978) and upon his collaborations with the likes of Sly Stone or Bootsy Collins he is the right choice to spice-up this super-funk-tour.
For the grand finale both bands will join forces to jam together; it’s gonna be “one nation under a groove!”
German-based Funk-Band GRAND SLAM featuring Bootsy Collins/George Clinton-vocalist GARY MUDBONE COOPER. As a special guest we have Funk-Bass legend LIGE CURRY, presenting material from his very own project NAKED FUNK as well as some P-Funk classics together with Mudbone Cooper.
