Funky Deep Banana
peels into Eugene
By Yael Menahem
Oregon Daily Emerald
Deep Banana Blackout, a band
from Connecticut, has big plans
tonight to show Eugene how to
party, Cultural Forum’s music di
rector Josh Burt boasts.
The band has shared the same
stage as musical greats Maceo
Parker, Taj Mahal, and the king
of funk, George Clinton & his P
Funk All-Stars. Tonight’s show
takes place in Agate Hall, Burt
said, because the campus venue
doesn’t receive much exposure
and he’d like to preserve its
uniqueness by bringing in bands
to play there. He added that the
acoustics are worth checking out.
Burt also said to expect more
than just good music. A variety of
ASUO organizations will be on
hand, in addition to a few sur
prise acts that will be revealed
once the show gets underway.
Deep Banana Blackout has a
following of dedicated fans
known as “The Funk Mob,”
which travels wherever the band
plays to help promote its sound.
DBB recently released a double
live CD called “Rowdy Duty.”
That recording followed the
band’s debut “Live in the Thou
sand Islands,” which came out in
1997 and introduced listeners to
their soul, funk and jazz sounds.
If that doesn’t make you inter
ested enough in the oddly-named
band, maybe its stamina will en
courage you to attend. Last New
Year’s Eve the band played from
11:30 p.m. until 6:30 a.m. on
Jan.l, to a crowd of almost 1,100
in New York City.
Tonight’s show begins at 8 and
tickets are $7 for students, $9 for
the general public. Purcahse tick
ets at the EMU Ticket Office, CD
World and the House of Records.
