The Hard Word
Friday, July 02 2010, 8.30pm
Have you ever wondered why the Blues, Funk and Soul of the 60’s and 70’s never goes out of fashion?
Maybe it’s because the songs were by people who’d lived what they sang about. Today’s manufactured dross just doesn’t hold up. Listen to the charts and every few years that classic funk style comes round again. And who better to play it than people who always have.
Based in the Tweed Shire but playing the coast from Coffs to Noosa, The Hard Word play a unique mix of hits and classics as well as some surprises. They have looked into the nearly bottomless well of great material from that era and style, and selected songs that are designed to make a hot night hotter and get the dust off your dancin' shoes. It's their own blend of Funk and Soul and it works because they do. There’s no midi’s with this crew: they do it live, they way it’s supposed to be done: a real band playing the music they like, and the great grooves can’t fail to move anybody with a bit of rhythm in ‘em.
From Superstition to Sexual Healing with the essence of James Brown, you won’t be able to keep still when you hear this hypnotic amalgam of soul, blues, and funk. You will, as they do, Shake Your Booty!
Drummer Gary Kafoa and Guitar man Aaron Park join bass trooper Dr Greg and Sax-man Dave Sandford from Relax With Max and Jimmy Barnes’ band so that ex-FAT ALBERT vocalist Jason Kafoa has a powerful line-up to transport all and sundry as he exorcises the demons of soul.
