REVIEW + Free Download: The Big Ol' Nasty Getdown 'Volume 1' Ft. George Clinton & Many More

So it's no surprise that the most exciting new project in funk is the 100+ member Big Ol' Nasty Getdown. Born out of a jam between members of The Dirty Dozen Brass Band and Yo Mama's Big Fat Booty Band in 2007, bassist John Heintz, joined forces with guitarist John-Paul Miller and trombonist Derrick Johnson to form a studio project they called The Big…

The F* Word, The Ancient Phrase That Will Never Die

You can use it in almost every instance and in so many forms, from "fuck yes, I found five bucks in some 99 cents shorts I bought at the thrift store", to "fuck no, I just caught my girl cheating on me with my best friend… and my cousin". Add an –ed at the end of the word, and it can be used in a sexual reference or negatively,… Continue

If you were in the alternative rock scene in LA during the 80’s then you had to know the music of Fishbone.
