LISTEN: Rock Candy Funk Party - "Spaztastic"


The title says it best, as this wild, fast-paced track moves from blasts of guitar chords to racing guitar leads to mellow breaks. Blending a mastery of funk's magnetic grooves, the pounding rhythm and energy of rock 'n' roll, and the soulful riffs of the blues, this supergroup sounds like they were born to play together. The quintet consists of guitarist Joe Bonamassa, guitarist Ron DeJesus (Tito Puente, Hugh Masakela), bassist Mike Merritt (Conan O'Brien's Basic Cable Band, Levon Helm's Midnight Ramble Band), keyboardist Renato Neto (Sheila E., Prince & the New Generation), and drummer Tal Bergman (Luther Vandross, Chaka Khan, Rod Stewart). Buckle up and hold onto something.



"Spaztastic" is from Rock Candy Funk Party's brand new debut album entitled We Want Groove. Pick it up here.
