Not for the faint hearted, Blowfly has amazed his listeners over the years with his nasty funk. A majority of his records were released during the 70s and 80s on vinyl to critical acclaim. His no holds barred XXX funk make 2 Live Crew seem like toddlers. Nothing is sacred as he takes some of the great soul/funk/r&b hits from the 60s and 70s and makes them nasty. During the 90s, his records were released on CD and a new era was born. He has an alter ego, Clarence Reid who plays more straight ahead soul and r&b.
I’ve known about this show since early February and bought tickets in anticipation. I bought tickets 3-6. Not many people excited about as me but it will be an epic show. The location is strange, the show is at the funhouse which is normal a punk club. My inside sources tell me that the owner/booking agent for the funhouse met Clarence on myspace and the details just sorted themselves out.
Good times will be had by all and I will post pictures either tonight or tomorrow of this living legend.
Hey there,
