$19 - $21
Straight outta funk hotbed Lawrence, Kansas, the Floozies revel in the deep pleasures of post-Parliament funkitude, worshipping at the altar of George Clinton, Bernie Worrell, and Bootsy Collins. Subtle as the latter’s stage costumes, the Floozies (brothers Matt and Mark Hill on guitar and drums, respectively) rudely thrust into your earholes some of the most bulbous bass frequencies ever heard from one of America’s flyover states. There’s a cartoonish, DayGlo aura about the songs on their album, Do Your Thing (no relation to the Isaac Hayes song on the Shaft soundtrack), and if you’re not dancing and orgying by the end of it, the Floozies will be very disappointed. These wide-lapelled funkateers so badly want to be your freak of the week, and they break many sweats trying to achieve this.
