From the minute Gurufish took the stage at Peachtree Tavern, heads started turning and bodies slid
out of their bar stools to saunter onto the dance floor. Gurufish’s arena soul sound was far too big for
Peachtree Tavern’s little stage – but that didn’t stop Jimmy St. James and his fantastic band from putting
on a killer show.

 

Their funk-anthem lyrics and contagious beats lured fans and first-timers alike onto the
dance floor. And once the venue’s sound guy got his act together, Gurufish kicked it into hyperdrive.

The 9 piece ensemble of background singers, congo players, saxophone, 6-string bass, background keys,
drum-kit, and guitar lifted Jimmy St. James’ seductive vocals and keys to super-star status. In fact, one
of the things that made this group so much fun to watch was the rock-star personae that shone from
every sequin that sparkled on that stage.



Their non-stop set featured original songs with groove that doesn’t quit along with covers of The Time
Prince classics to which they added a funky Gurufish Twist. Listeners couldn’t help but flood the dance
floor when they broke into “Kiss” but that audience reaction didn’t even compare to what happened
all around the stage when they played their original song “Touch Your Body.” Let’s just put it this way.
Gurufish sang that song, and the fans followed directions. It was smokin’!

For funk, rhythm and dance-groove lovers, this band is a must see. Their timeless message of: spread
the love; stop the violence; move your body; and party on wins speaks to funk-music fans of all
ages. From fans who grew up with the genre to fans who don’t know “The Walk” from “The Bird”
(but know great music when they hear it) Gurufish is a must see. Check them out on their website:
www.gurufish.com or friend them on Facebook (where you can find a HOT video for “Touch Your Body”)
and be sure to see them the next time they play!

The Grid...

Here’s where you can enter a world and ride upon a plane of unnatural existence becoming the only existence, becoming the reality, becoming natural. Daft Punk puts us here with this most riveting chronological musical of the story of Flynn meeting his son on the grid.

This album is one of the cool ones. One of the ones that can fit anywhere. Sit you at peace, and be easy. Yeaaah EE zee. Political, spiritual, familial, and your girlfriend, not to mention. You can also find emanicipation and redemption in this album.

The Top 3 Reasons to Listen to Adele 21

On February 22, 2011, Adele released “21” the follow-up to “19,” her breakthrough debut.  Critics the world over have described “21” as “simply timeless”, “haunting”, “soaring”, “organic”, and “poignant”, and have compared her vocal stylings to artists such as Amy Winehouse and Dusty Springfield,

From the first piano chords into ("I see you drivin' around town with a girl I know.  I'm like F**k You!")  He had us hooked with a curious fascination of what is to come and refreshment in what could be found as vulgar.  Vulgarity being made endearing and with an artist givin' us the truth of the art he wants to do with some juicy goodness. 

On Friday, February 17th, I went to see the Atlanta-based singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist collective, Joy Scout, perform at Eddie’s Attic. Emily Kate Boyd and Nicki Thrailkill, the heart of Joy Scout, were missing third member Jesse Tyler, but were joined by long time collaborators Will Boos on ukulele, David Stephens on banjo, Paul Warner on lap steel, as well as Will Robertson on bass, who also produced their new album: Vampires at Sea.
