Where there's smoke.....there's fire

The old adage, “where there’s smoke, there’s fire” was confirmed this past weekend as the band, Dragon Smoke pulled into San Francisco for a stop at The Independent, one of the best venues in the city to enjoy a show. Known for it’s excellent light and sound, it was a perfect evening with one of the finest bands working in New Orleans (or anywhere else for that matter). Dragon Smoke delivered one of those elusive performances one always hopes to see and hear once in a while. One that is perfectly paced, that has plenty of dynamic and emotional range and delivered by a band where one can sense they are right there…in the moment….at the top of their game. Played to a packed sold out house, the band played until way past midnight and the crowd responded in kind; loudly expressing their joy and satisfaction.

Dumpstaphunk Stays Funky Summer and Winter

Dumpstaphunk

Bringing the funk back to Bonnaroo Music Festival, Ivan Neville’s Dumpstaphunk tore up the stage at the ‘Other Tent’ late night on Friday, June 9th 2012. The New Orleans funk quintet did not disappoint their fans one bit as they lived up to their high energy performance expectation. One of the highlights of the set was a funktastic rendition of David Bowie’s “Fame” that really had the crowd getting down and dirty in the warm Manchester, Tennessee night.

Dumpstaphunk at Gathering of the Vibes

Dumpstaphunk is the hottest funk band to come out of New Orleans. Dumpstaphunk features Ivan Neville of the Neville Brothers on keyboards accompanied by his nephew, Ian Neville on guitar, Tony Hall and Nick Daniels both on bass and the band now has Nikki Glaspie on drums. Beating a major heat wave, the temperature barely dropped from the midday scorch for the 7:10pm set on Thursday, July 21, the opening night of Gathering of the Vibes. Dumpstaphunk is performing tonight in Houston, MN and are touring steadily on the west coast through September. The band heads south in October.
