THE AFROFUNK EXPERIENCE & CAPTAIN NASTY (**Freee Before 9pm**)
SEE EVENT DETAILS
THE AFROFUNK EXPERIENCE An ambrosial mix of musical interpretations influenced by the African diaspora, created in a collective and organic manner. The Afrofunk Experience – HOMEGROWN AFROBEAT, AFROROCK, REGGAE, AND ORIGINAL BAY AREA FUNK. The Afrofunk Experience – who with Sila Mutungi comprised the award-winning group Sila and the Afrofunk Experience from it’s inception until 2010, providing songs and grooves for the entity that was dubbed “The Bay Area’s Dance Kings”, and who, with SAFE, were winners of the NAACP Image Award’s Outstanding World Music Album for “Black President” and winners of The SF Weekly Music Award’s Best International Act. In 2009 the Afrofunk Experience parted ways with Sila. The Afrofunk Experience – Putting the FUNK back in it! The Afrofunk Experience – AFE for short. Guitarist/Singer David James(Spearhead, The Coup, Beth Custer) brings his sinewy style to counter the funk-metal stylings of lead guitarist Ken House (H.P. Riot). The precise funk-rock drumming of Paul Olipant (Afrolicious, Will Magid Trio) with Wendell Rand’s (Afrolicious, Tracorum, Youssoupha Sidibe) muscular dance grooves keep the band tight, while saxophonist David Boyce (Broun Fellinis, The Supplicants) and trombonist Alan Williams (Manicato, Katdelic) wail, their horns producing a sound that encompasses outward-bound jazz, classic reggae, afrobeat and R&B. Percussionist B. Lee thickens and adds flavor to the mix, and on top of all this, recent addition Sandy House adds her sultry voice and powerful stage presence. AFROFUNK EXPERIENCE Ken House – Guitar, Vocals Sandy House – Vocals Wendell Rand – Bass David James – Guitar, Vocals David Boyce– Saxophones Alan Wiliams – Trombone Paul Oliphant – Drums B.
