Breaking news, george clinton and parliament funkadelic kick off farewell tour: get tickets.

Parliament Funkadelic's George Clinton performs onstage.

The funk will never die.

However, George Clinton and Parliament Funkadelic may be hanging it up for good soon.

Starting July 27, the legendary group will launch their 29-concert ‘Just For The Funk Of It! Final Tour?!?’ that just might be their last.

Yes, we’re not sure if this is it for the 82-year-old and his intergalactic band or not.

And if you’re in New York and New Jersey you thankfully still have a few more chances to see the band live.

Clinton and co. will bring “Flashlight,” “Atomic Dog,” “Give Up The Funk,” “One Nation Under A Groove” and more to Port Chester, NY’s Capitol Theatre on Aug. 18, Montclair, NJ’s Wellmont Theater on Aug. 19 and Westbury, NY’s NYCB Theatre on Oct. 28.

But that’s not all — the band has tickets available for all 29 of their “maybe” final shows this summer, fall and winter.

Some Parliament concerts have rather inexpensive seats ready for purchase too.

At the time of publication, we found some Parliament tickets going for as low as $18 before fees on Vivid Seats.

Now, that’s truly Funkadelic.

To be fair, that is a bit of an outlier. Most shows’ ticket prices start in the $30 to $110 range .

Want to tear the roof off the sucker again?

Here’s everything you need to know and more about the ‘Just For The Funk Of It! Final Tour?!?’

All prices listed above are subject to fluctuation.

Riot Fest 2023

On Sept. 15-17, the annual Riot Fest is returning to Chicago, IL’s Douglass Park for three days of genre-bending fun.

Just a few of the headliners on this year’s bill include Foo Fighters , Death Cab For Cutie , Queens of the Stone Age , The Cure and The Mars Volta .

Yes, none of those acts are like Parliament but they all have something in common — they’re all great live.

Parliament Funkadelic set list

With a career spanning over 50 years, it’s hard to whittle a set list down to just a few songs.

Somehow, Parliament does it night in and night out.

For a closer look at what to expect at a live show, here’s what the band played at a recent concert courtesy of Set List FM .

01.) “Dr. Funkenstein”

02.) “Funkentelechy”

George Clinton & Parliament-Funkadelic have announced a 21-date 2023 tour featuring support from a number of their funkiest colleagues, Fishbone ,  Dumpstaphunk , and  George Porter Jr. of The Meters fame.

Clinton and his ever-evolving P-Funk circus have been saying “farewell” for years. When the aging bandleader first detailed his multi-band One Nation Under A Groove tour in 2019, he billed the nationwide run as his “final” outing. Four years later, he’s still at it—and yes, he’s aware of that loose interpretation of finality: This year, the summer trek is being billed with a self-aware lack of certainty as Just For The Funk of It! Final Tour?!?

George Clinton and Parliament-Funkadelic announce 2022 tour

It marks a return from retirement for 80-year-old Clinton

p-funk

George Clinton and Parliament-Funkadelic have revealed details of a new tour.

The legendary American funk music collective, which was originally formed in 1968, will tour the U.S. across June, July and August. The shows mark a return from retirement for 80-year-old Clinton, who went on a "farewell tour" with Parliament-Funkdadelic back in 2019.

Named after Funkadelic's seminal 1978 album of the same name, check out dates for The One Nation Under a Groove tour below.

Widely considered to be one of the most influential outfits in music, Parliament-Funkadelic (aka P-Funk) spearheaded both psychedelic funk and Afrofuturism on albums including Funkadelic's 'Maggot Brain' and Parlimanent's 'Mothership Connection'. In 1997, Clinton and 15 other members of P-Funk were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame .

In January, Parliament-Funkadelic founding member Calvin Simon died aged 79 .

45 Years Ago: How George Clinton Pulled Off the P-Funk Earth Tour

When George Clinton started hatching plans to take his Parliament - Funkadelic crew on the road during 1976, he wanted to more than just put the band on stage to give up the funk, as it were.

"What we were doing was more like staging a play," Dr. Funkenstein wrote in his 2014 memoir Brothas Be, Yo Like George, Ain't That Funkin' Kinda Hard on You? And that's exactly what Clinton and company created for the P-Funk Earth Tour, a nearly nine-month extravaganza that cost a reported $275,000 (provided by Neil Bogart, whose Casablanca Records was Parliament's home at the time) and required seven trucks to haul around the staging and scenery created by noted Broadway designer Jules Fisher, who'd also worked with David Bowie , the Rolling Stones and Kiss , among others. "Soul music had never seen anything like it," Clinton wrote. "For that matter, neither had rock and roll. It was like a Broadway show in the most elaborate sense, or what Las Vegas would become decades later."

The star of the P-Punk Earth Tour was the Mothership, a concept that had introduced on Parliament's 1975 album Mothership Connection and was brought into real life by Fisher. It was "summoned" by guitarists Garry Shider and Glenn Goins, the latter of who’s gospel vocals in particular brought the structure down from the rafters amidst lighting effects and pyrotechnics, with Clinton emerging in full Dr. Funkenstein guise to "administer the funk" to the crowds.

The show took a great deal of work to pull off, including several weeks spent rehearsing and choreographing in an airport hangar in Newburgh. N.Y. Two stages were set up at the time, one for Parliament-Funkadelic, the other for bassist Bootsy Collins , who would be playing with his own Rubber Band as well as with the P-Funk Mothership during the trek. Interestingly, some of the equipment came from Aerosmith ’s most recent tour. "Rehearsing for the Mothership tour was like deploying an army," Clinton remembered. "Because of all the equipment, all the lighting cues, and the complexity of the staging, it was important to hit certain spots in certain songs at exactly the right time." It also required a change in attitude — and some behaviors. "You couldn't be as crazy high as you used to be, in the psychedelic sense," Clinton noted.

Watch the Mothership Land Live in 1976

There was also an effort to make sure the Mothership and attendant staging didn't eclipse the band. "To pay off the stagecraft, we had to make sure that we were just as impressive musically," Clinton wrote, adding that the ensemble "rehearsed with a degree of professionalism that was, at least in our history, unprecedented." The group certainly had the goods, with a dozen albums of material between Parliament and Funkadelic – including the latter's then-new Hardcore Jollies , its first major label effort, for Warner Bros. Records. Saxophonist Maceo Parker, late of James Brown 's band, was on board as music director, with a potent troupe of players that including additional guitarists Michael Hampton and Eddie Hazel, keyboardist Bernie Worrell, a brass section arranged by Worrell and Fred Wesley and backing vocalists Dawn Silva and Lynn Mabry, who would go on to become the Brides of Funkenstein.

Some changes were made over the course of the tour. Because the band and music were indeed eclipsed by the Mothership, the group moved its arrival to later in the show. It also did away with a mini-Mothership that flew over the crowd before the big Mother(ship)'s arrival. And while Collins — hot with his Stretchin' Out in Bootsy's Rubber Band and, later, Ahh...The Name is Bootsy, Baby! albums — was put on as the closing act for some early shows, he quickly learned that following the Mothership was no easy task and settled into the middle spot between Parliament-Funkadelic and opener Sly Stone with his latter-day Family Band.

Watch P-Funk Perform 'Mothership Connection' in 1976

The P-Funk Earth Tour lost money, much to the consternation of musicians who went unpaid, and there were, of course, technical snafus. "The Mothership was almost a band member in its own right, subject to quirks and tantrums like anyone else in the band," Clinton recalled. Clinton also received some backlash from black and black Muslim activists for working with white promoters – until they learned that 25 cents from every ticket was being donated to the United Negro College Fund and backed off.

But the trek was a success by all other measures. Rolling Stone declared it "a Space Age Mardi Gras," and the trek drove sales for the attendant albums; Hardcore Jollies reached No. 12 on the Billboard R&B chart; Parliament's The Clones of Dr. Funkenstein hit No. 3 and No. 20 on the Billboard 200, going gold; and Collins' albums both went Top 10 on the R&B charts, with Ahh...The Name is Bootsy, Baby! hitting No. 1 and also going gold. The tour yielded Live: P-Funk Earth Tour in May of 1977; Recorded at shows in Los Angeles and Oakland, Calif., it too went gold and peaked at No. 6 on the R&B chart.

The Mothership, meanwhile, went on to have its own life after the P-Funk Earth Tour. Retired after that, its whereabouts were unknown for many years, said to be in a scrap metal yard in Maryland. A smaller, reconstructed version was created for Clinton's Mothership Reconnection Tour during 1996 with the P Funk All Stars and would be used periodically in through the troupe's appearance at Woodstock 1999. It now resides in the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of African American History and Culture, while the Oakland Museum of California created its own replica for its Mothership: Voyage into Afrofuturism exhibit that runs through Feb. 27.

Recent tour reviews

Good show. Me, wifey and friend had a pretty good time. I did have an issue with the flow of the show. No opening act that "opened" the show. No introduction for Clinton and the rapper and r&b singer in the middle of the show really threw the vibe off and people started to leave. It took a little time to get back on vibe but it ended up well. Clinton should have had them as opening acts, and let the band play during intermission. But all and all I finally had a (watered down) Clinton experience and I was overall satisfied.

George Clinton Details Final Tour With Parliament-Funkadelic

By Kory Grow

After five decades of life on tour buses and Motherships, George Clinton is ready to retire from the road. The U.S. dates of his long goodbye, which he’s dubbed the One Nation Under a Groove Tour, will kick off this spring and run through August.

“It’s coming right on time,” Clinton tells Rolling Stone , saying the announcement is part of a plan he conceived a few years ago. It’s the next step after releasing his 2014 memoir, Brothas Be, Yo Like George, Ain’t That Funkin’ Kinda Hard On You? as well as Funkadelic ‘s 2014 album, First Ya Gotta Shake the Gate and Parliament ‘s 2018 album, Medicaid Fraud Dogg .

“I would love to keep on doing this but I’ll be 78 in a few more months,” he says. “Even though I feel like I’m just getting started, the reality is the group needs to go ahead and keep it going. We’ve got a new vibe in the band, and they’ve been carrying it for the last three years. I’ve been up there representing for people, but they’ve actually been turning the place out. And we’ve been selling out for the last five years, every night.”

The tour, which officially kicks off after Memorial Day weekend (though Clinton is playing some farewell tour dates beforehand), will variously feature openers Galactic, Dumpstaphunk, Fishbone and Miss Velvet and the Blue Wolf. Tickets for most shows go on sale Friday at 10 a.m. local time. Pre-sales will start on February 7th; more information is available at Clinton’s website .

The Parliament-Funkadelic band features several musicians who have been in the lineup for the last decade, as well as a handful — trumpeter Bennie Cowan, saxophonist Greg Thomas, bassist Lige Curry and guitarist Blackbird McKnight — who have been with the group for 30 years or longer. It also features many of Clinton’s descendants.

The tour’s title recalls both the 1978 album, One Nation Under a Groove , and blockbuster single of the same name. Clinton says the song’s message of unity is just as important today as it was when he wrote it. “Funk to me was just that groove that united everything,” he says. “So you could be funky no matter what kind of music you played. There’s a funk element somewhere that can be put into it. And the idea of one nation with everybody together [applies to] not only one nation, but one planet.”

Editor’s picks

Every awful thing trump has promised to do in a second term, the 250 greatest guitarists of all time, the 500 greatest albums of all time, 25 most influential creators of 2024.

The tour, created by Universal Attractions Agency, coincides with Clinton receiving a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Grammys at a special ceremony on May 11th. It’s an honor that means a lot to him, since it’s a chance for him to recognize the dozens of P-Funk musicians who’ve played with him over the years. “It’s never been about me or no particular thing,” Clinton says. “The whole truth has always been what it’s about. As I’m getting ready to get a lifetime achievement award and all of that, there’s so many people that’s been in the band, it’s hard to even pick who all the people are. So people won’t get to see a lot of people, but still that award will belong to everybody that’s participated in making the P-Funk what it is. It will be for all the people that’s ever been through the P-Funk army.”

IMDB

As leader of the legendary Parliament-Funkadelic, singer-songwriter-producer George Clinton stood alongside James Brown as one of the architects of funk, as well as hip-hop, funk-rock and various other permutations of rock and soul music. Parliament-Funkadelic, or P-Funk, as it was known to millions of devotees, began as the Parliaments, a doo-wop group founded by Clinton in the back of a barbershop. The act eventually became a soul band called Parliament, which found only modest success until Clinton struck on the idea of merging R&B with the heavier sounds of rock groups like Cream. The result was two groups, Parliament and Funkadelic, which alternated names to avoid various legal issues.

The groups eventually came together as Parliament-Funkadelic, a collective that delivered eccentric but undeniably funky tunes that hinged on Clinton's offbeat vision of an extraterrestrial world united by a groove. Legal battles undid the P-Funk empire in the early '80s, and Clinton would enjoy brief success as a solo act with the delirious "Atomic Dog." But hip-hop would provide his true second coming through a generation of rappers, from Dr. Dre to Snoop Dogg, and rockers like the Red Hot Chili Peppers, who drew inspiration from his legacy for their own music. A genuine music visionary, George Clinton brought class, race and ethnicity together in a single nation under his undeniable groove.

Born July 22, 1941 in Kannapolis, NC, George Clinton was the oldest of nine children by his mother, Julia Keaton. The family relocated to New Jersey, where a teenaged Clinton co-managed a barbershop called the Uptown Tonsorial Parlor in Plainfield. After hours, Clinton led a five-part vocal harmony group called the Parliaments, which drew its name from the cigarette brand and its inspiration from Frankie Lymon and the Teenagers. The group moved from street corners to the back room of the barbershop before waxing its first single, "Poor Willie" for APT Records in 1959.

Between 1960 and 1966, the Parliaments would record singles for a wide variety of labels, none of which found any success, while Clinton toiled as a songwriter-producer for some of Motown's lesser-known acts. In 1967, the group finally struck pay dirt with "(I Wanna) Testify," a smoldering soul number for the Revilot label. Clinton was the only actual member of the Parliaments present on the recording, as the other four members were unable to travel to Detroit for the session. "Testify" reached No. 3 on the R&B charts and No. 20 on the pop charts in the summer of 1967, spurring Clinton to quickly assemble a band to back his vocalists on tour.

The group, which was anchored by guitarist-bassist Billy Bass Nelson - one of Clinton's employees at the Uptown Tonsorial Parlor - drummer Tiki Fulwood and a phenomenally talented guitarist named Eddie Hazel, would later serve as the backbone of Clinton's sprawling Parliament-Funkadelic. Revilot went bankrupt in 1968, embroiling Clinton in a protracted legal battle to claim the rights to the Parliaments' name. He soon redubbed the group "Funkadelic," which offered a dramatic shift away from the Motown-inspired soul of their early work.

The emergence of acts like the Jimi Hendrix Experience and Sly and the Family Stone, both of which blended rock and psychedelia with R&B and blues, prompted Clinton to push Funkadelic in a similar direction, as did a tour with the proto-metal band Vanilla Fudge, which shared its massive wall of amplifiers with Funkadelic. The result was heavy, guitar-driven rock with an undeniable rhythm, as evidenced by their self-titled debut album for Westbound Records in 1969. Driven by Hazel's blistering guitar and the jazz-influenced keyboards of newcomer Bernie Worrell, Funkadelic announced a new direction in African-American music that united white and black listeners under one cosmic groove.

Clinton regained the rights to the Parliament moniker in 1970, and signed the group to Invictus Records, a label owned by Motown songwriting team Holland-Dozier-Holland. That Parliament was simply Funkadelic under a different name mattered not to listeners; what was important was that Clinton was building a musical empire, one that would wield a huge influence over R&B for decades to come. Keeping the myriad of players happy within the growing Parliament-Funkadelic universe, however, would challenge Clinton for almost two decades.

Of the two musical entities, Funkadelic proved to be the more successful and critically acclaimed group, thanks to such landmark albums as Free Your Mind and Your Ass Will Follow (1970) and Maggot Brain (1971), which featured an epic guitar solo by Hazel on the title track. As a result, Clinton would shutter Parliament for much of the early 1970s, though he soon found that Funkadelic had its own set of issues to address.

A number of the band's key players, including Hazel and Nelson, left the group over financial issues, while guitarist Tawl Ross suffered a physical breakdown due to the band's prodigious drug intake. They were replaced by an all-star lineup culled largely from James Brown's legendary '70s-era band, the JBs, including bassist William "Bootsy" Collins, his brother Phelps "Catfish" Collins, and the mighty horn section led by Maceo Parker and Fred Wesley, as well as singer-guitarist Garry Shider.

The addition of these funk titans helped to change the musical direction of Funkadelic, which moved from an experimental funk-rock act to a more polished, mainstream funk group. The new Funkadelic would issue two of the band's greatest albums - the politically charged America Eats its Young (1972) and Standing On the Verge of Getting it On (1974), which would spur Clinton to revive Parliament that same year.

Again comprised of the same lineup as Funkadelic, the new Parliament began its own successful tenure at Casablanca Records with a string of concept records loosely connected by a complex, comic-book-cum-science-fiction mythology revolving around interplanetary funkateers, led by Clinton's StarChild, and their battle against the villainous, groove-resistant Sir Nose D'iVoidoffunk.

Songs like "Up for the Down Stroke," "Mothership Connection" and the No. 1 R&B singles "Flash Light" and "Aqua Boogie" espoused a theme of unity and joy through music that surpassed the basic beat of dance music to become anthems for African-American listeners. Funkadelic also remained remarkable prolific during this period, scoring its own back-to-back R&B No. 1 anthems with the title track to One Nation Under a Groove (1978) and an edited version of the 15-minute "(Not Just) Knee Deep." In addition to Parliament and Funkadelic, Clinton oversaw a stable of subsidiary acts, including the Brides of Funkenstein, Parlet and Bootsy's Rubber Band, all of which gave his supporting players a chance to shine on their own.

The entire Clinton music franchise, dubbed Parliament-Funkadelic, or P-Funk, would support their endeavors through elaborate live shows that featured its leader descending onto the stage in a lunar module and up to 20 musicians on stage at one time, all dressed in outrageous, space age costumes.

By the end of the 1970s, Clinton's funk armada had grown too unwieldy to be properly managed. The collapse of Casablanca Records, along with a host of legal issues that came with overseeing such a vast array of acts under multiple names, began to eat away at the foundation of Parliament-Funkadelic. Core members, most notably the original members of the Parliaments, began to desert Clinton, citing financial mismanagement, and launch their own P-Funk-inspired groups.

Changing tastes in R&B also contributed to the bands' downfall, most notably the rise of electronic music and a new genre from the urban environment called hip-hop. Ironically, samples from the massive Parliament-Funkadelic catalog would serve as the backbone of countless hip-hop performers who built their beats around samples of Clinton's music without crediting him or paying for their use.

In the face of so much disarray, Clinton dissolved Parliament and Funkadelic before signing to Capitol Records as both a solo artist and as the leader of the P-Funk All-Stars, a rotating collective of former members still loyal to the StarChild, in 1982. He enjoyed success almost immediately with his solo debut, Computer Games (1982), which included the relentlessly danceable No. 1 single "Atomic Dog." However, subsequent releases failed to match its level of success, and he was forced to declare bankruptcy in 1985.

He resurfaced occasionally throughout the late 1980s and early 1990s, producing the Red Hot Chili Peppers' third album, Freaky Styley (1985), and signing with Prince's Paisley Park label to release The Cinderella Theory (1989), which failed to revive his flagging career.

However, a generation of young music fans who had grown up on P-Funk began recording their own songs, and turned to Clinton's work as both a template and a touchstone. Hip-hop acts like Digital Underground and De La Soul built their sound around the mid-1970s Parliament groove, while West Coast rappers like NWA, Dr. Dre, Ice Cube, Snoop Dogg and Tupac helped to create an entire sub-genre of rap called "G Funk" that turned on Clinton's grooves. When the Chili Peppers finally broke into the mainstream in the early '90s, they widely espoused their affection for Clinton, which in turn, introduced him to other funk-rock acts like Faith No More and Primus.

Unlike many funk forebears, Clinton embraced the wholesale sampling of his work by new musicians, releasing a collection of pre-made samples called Sample Some of Disc - Sample Some of D.A.T. to facilitate the appetite for all things P-Funk.

Now fully reenergized by a second wave of popularity, Clinton recorded his final album for Paisley Park, 1993's Hey Man Smell My Finger before singing with Sony 550. His first release for the new label, T.A.P.O.A.F.O.M. (The Awesome Power of a Fully Operational Mothership) (1996), saw him reunite with former P-Funk soldiers Bootsy Collins, Bernie Worrell and Maceo Parker. A subsequent reunion tour, complete with an onstage landing of the Mothership, launched a touring entity called The P-Funk All-Stars, which featured a rotating roster of former and new Clinton acolytes that toured relentlessly around the world for the better part of the next two decades.

He also became a guest of distinction on numerous albums by artists ranging from Tupac and Redman to the Wu Tang Clan and Outkast. In 1997, Clinton and 15 members of Parliament-Funkadelic were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

In 2005, Clinton finally reclaimed ownership of four Funkadelic albums long held hostage by copyright issues, including One Nation Under a Groove. That same year, he formed his own record label, The C Kunspyruhzy, which released How Late Do U Have 2BB4UR Absent, a double album of new studio material which featured contributions by Prince and members of the P-Funk All-Stars.

By 2008, he had signed with Shanachie Records to release George Clinton and His Gangsters of Love, an album of covers featuring guest turns by the Chili Peppers, Carlos Santana and Sly Stone. In 2009, he was honored with the Urban Icon Award from BMI. By Paul Gaita

07.14.12 -- Today is the first day of the 2012 Sonar Music Conference in Barcelona. I am super excited to be here. 02.02.12 -- Kick it Off With a Bang! It's February and I'm already 3 events behind. Well, I'm actually a YEAR behind, but no use dwelling there! Last year's romps through Japan, The USA, South America, Europe, Canada and Australia on the Mothership was all I could keep up with!! You can always check Facebook and Twitter for more frequent bloggings: Facebook.com/shaunnahall.music & "shaunndogg" on Twitter. Also, check out www.reverbnation.com/electrofunkadelica for music updates!! I spent New Years Eve watching my favorite DJ and electronic music inspiration, Amon Tobin, do his ISAM show at the Sea of Dreams NYE event extravaganza in San Francisco. Let me just say that the hype around his visual presentation is well deserved, and I was delighted being there to experience the NEXT level in live concert visuals. Above: NYE Seaof Dreams in San Francisco - Amon Tobins' ISAM, mind bending live video Next, I packed up and headed for Southern California to attend NAMM 2012, where I did a live demo for Seymour Duncan with Karen Cuda ( Bassist of Nashville Pussy), saw amazing products like KMI's QuNeo, bumped into Stevie Wonder at the Moog booth, saw Bootsy and his band including Razor Sharp, Frakie Kash Waddy, Blackbyrd McNight, and Bernie Worrel, live at the John Lennon Educational Bus, saw cool peeps like Treylewd, Kimmy, Eric McFadden, Sharla, Mike Hampton, it was like a family reunion down there. And the best part was the last night, Bernie Worell Orchestra at THe Bootleg Theatre in Los Angeles, I was honored to sit in on Gamin' On Ya, but the coolest part was that I played through my iPod with the iRig, using Amplitube, and running into Bernies' LeslieCabinet via a power amp. NOw that's what I call making it happen! I miss my P-Funk family, and will be skipping the upcoming tours to heal from a head concussion / neck & shoulder injury. Concussions can be serious, and touring is about the worst place to be when dealing with one, so I am hoping I can get well and get back to the road. IN the meantime,… Above: Dropping Love Bombs with George Clinton & Parliament Funkadelic 2011 Below: NAMM 2012 - PFunk Family Portait: Frankie, Bootsy, Delphine, Eric McFadden, Shaunna Hall The International Spring & Summer 2010 Tour begins in Las Vegas May 28.

Shaunna Hall made the annual trek to Anaheim for the 2010 NAMM Show. Special thanks to Randy & Jessica at Artist Relations and the folks at Seymour Duncan for hooking me up so nicely!! Among the highlights - Meeting Seymour Duncan, get a new N-Tune for my Pink Paisley Teley, Trying out Pigtronix latest stomp boxes, including the phenomenal Echolution Golden Ration Delay w/ Modulation, and The Mothership, a sub-bass synth for guitar and bass. In fact, I watched Bootsy check it out and he gave it two fingers up \m/ !! Above: Shaunna posin' with THE Batmobile at NAMM 2010 Hangin' with my pal Brian Kehoe and all the cool guys at Jim Dunlop, the Coffin Cases party featuring the ripping Iron Maidens, testing the Vocoders at Electro Harmonix - I settled on the Iron Lung for it's compactness and ease of use for my pedal board, getting my friend and former teacher Jim Campilongo to sign a Fender Guitars promo photo, and basically seeing my peeps at DR Strings, Mesa Boogie, Ableton, James Trussart, Bruce Zinky & Supro Amps, Remo Drums, Akai, Nady and Daisy Rock Guitars. Seymour Duncan threw a GREAT party, as did Moog Instruments where they actually shared an incredibly insightful voice recording of Bob Moog explaining how to use the very FIRST keyboard he had made to the artist he made it for. His daughter Michelle, also spoke about the exciting plans for the Moogseum and the existing Bob Moog Foundation. I recommend that you check out what they are into at www.moogfoundation.org. Please support the Bob Moog Foundation in any way you can!! And last, but NOT least, I was honored to join Eric McFadden in Los Angeles for a show at Molly Malone's as a guest. Above: Molly Malone's , Los Angeles with Eric McFadden, Becky Wreck, Karen Cuda & Shaunna Hall I played Super Stoopid with Norwood Fisher (Fishbone) on bass and then, Karen Cuda ( Nashville Pussy ) for the Stooges classic, TV Eye.

    Parliament-Funkadelic is a Funk music collective headed by George Clinton, that specialized in the style of music known as P-Funk and performed under the names Parliament and Funkadelic (two bands comprised of the same members, recording for different labels), but also in a score of offshoot groups and solo ventures.
