Just outside the jazz mecca of Kansas City springs liberaloasis Lawrence, Kansas—separated only by the waves of wheat from the epicenterof the electronic music revolution in Colorado. From Lawrence, it wouldlogically follow that an act could rise to prominence fueled by the swing ofBasie, the birth of Charlie Parker’s bebop, and the wild frontier ofelectronica. Born in funk and bred in the digital age, live electronic duo TheFloozies have burst onto the scene at a time when the industry needed them themost.
Brothers Matt and Mark Hill share the stage just as easilyas they share a musical brain. Without a setlist, and without a word betweenthem, Matt’s guitar is in lockstep with the thud of Mark’s kick. Endlesslooping and production builds the raw scenery upon which palm muted chugs,searing solos, and wobbling bass paint their dazzling array of colors.
Well versed in everything from Chris Cornell to Kavinsky,the sonic vision shared by the brothers eschews contemporary electronicinfluences in favor of broader, deeper tastes including Zapp & Roger,Lettuce, and Amon Tobin. That wide-angle view of a century of popular musicallows the Hills to remix Toto and The Dead—in the music you can hear reverencefor the giants of the past, all the while producing wildly futuristic tunes forthe masses to dig now.
When the pendulum swung as far as it could away from liveinstrumentation to laptops, The Floozies rose up to the challenge, swinging ashard as they could in the other direction with neck-snapping, knee-breakingfunk so dirty that the gatekeepers stood up, wiped themselves off, and tooknotice. A bold live show full of sonic exploration and unbreakably deep pocketgrooves has landed the brothers on stage with luminaries of the jam worldUmphrey’s McGee as readily as electronic elites STS9 and Big Gigantic. Sold outshows across the Country, huge festival appearances at Bonnaroo, ElectricForest, High Sierra, Summercamp, Wakarusa, Camp Bisco, Summerset, Bumbershoot,and a headlining Red Rocks show have continued to cement the duo’s ascent.
The Floozies are bringing the funk back, and they’re righton time.
