Saturday Night, March 1st 2025 ** THE 20th ANNIVERSARY of THE GREASE TRAPS ** (They started as a band at BBR 20years AGO!) ~ It's Gonna Be a BAdaZZ Party Celebration Super SHow at Boom Boom Room ~ featuring  SOUL-JAZZ , FUNK and LIVE DISCO from: ** THE GREASE TRAPS ** & ** FAT PRODUCE ** (former members of JUNGLE FIRE from Miami, FL) The Grease Traps are an 8-piece funk and soul powerhouse based in Oakland, CA.  Featuring a well-oiled rhythm section, tight horns, and stirring vocals by that sharp-dressing, all-around fly dude, The Gata, their musical mix of hard-driving funk and lowdown soul is guaranteed to get your head noddin' and cure your dance jones.  The rhythm section takes its cues from the soulful sounds of the MG’s, the Meters, the JB’s, and the classic rhythm sections of the Atlantic, Hi and Fame labels.  In addition to their original material, the Traps are crate diggers as well, breathing new life into lost grooves culled from rare funk 45’s and obscure oft-sampled records. They released their debut 45 single on the well-respected funk & soul label, Colemine Records.  Their first full-length album, Solid Ground, was recorded all-analog on their trusty Tascam 388 and put out in 2021 by Italy’s premier soul and funk label, Record Kicks.  They have played at festivals and some of the Bay Area's best venues sharing the stage with touring acts such as the Commodores, Shuggie Otis, Rebirth Brass Band, Monophonics, Neal Francis, Orgone, and Durand Jones among many others. Fat Produce is a Miami-based soul jazz trio led by Studio City, CA natives, guitarist Addison Rifkind (The Soul Vaccinators) and drummer Michael Duffy (The White Blinds, Jungle Fire). This duo, alongside upright bass, is a guaranteed head-nodder whose live set includes a fresh mix of original compositions and deep cuts from the hip-hop, soul, and jazz crates. Taking inspiration from the past, Fat Produce breathes new life into the guitar trio format and unearths a modern musical vocabulary encompassing the past 70 years of musical heritage while keeping it funky and groove focused. Fat Produce proudly released their debut LP "Fresh Squeeze" on L.A. based funk and soul label, F-Spot Records. Rifkind and Duffy teamed up with world-renowned bass player Rene Camacho (Poncho Sanchez, War) to bring you 14 all-new and original soul jazz instrumental cuts.
