Playlist 05.19.11

Last night was pretty slamming. We had Brian and Jeff in from Uncle Joe’s Medicine Show talking about their sound, their history, influences and more. If you dig ’em, you should check out their gig this weekend at the Five Spot with Yo Mama’s Big Fat Booty Band. Should be a funky good time.

That Funky Uncle and Other Announcements

Alright, it appears that I may have bit off more than I could chew in keeping this blog thing up to date. The good news is Facebook has changed their group configuration, making it much harder to locate all of the Electric Boogaloo-approved events for our weekly What’s Up with What’s Going Down. Thus, I think I may abandon the group and make those posts here instead. At the least, I’ll list them here weekly, and try to make more frequent posts here to keep you attuned to the goings on about town as well as what is coming up on the Boogaloo.


That said, we’ve got some special guests coming on this week’s (5/19//11) show. Jeff Jeswald and Brian Didsbury of Uncle Joe’s Medicine Show will be joining us. They’ve got a gig this weekend at The Five Spot, where they’ll be opening for Asheville’s own, Yo Mama’s Big Fat Booty Band. I’m unofficially dubbing it the Booty Medicine tour, 2011! This show is going to be slamming, so make sure you tune in for a chance to win tickets as well as to hear some funky ass music. And if you don’t win free tickets, keep it in mind, as it should surely get the hips moving of all in attendance.

Lots of other good shows coming up in the near future, so here is What’s Up with What’s Going Down in A-town:
Stay tuned for more announcements in the near future, and be sure to keep it fonkay!

The Much Ballyhooed Return of the E-Boogie Blog!!

Well it’s been a while, folks. 4+ years to be not much more exact. I’m resurrecting this blog for the people because so many (read: zero) have requested its return. And trust me, I’m not trying to tie this in with the recent Easter Sunday, either.


Since our last post, we’ve seen a lot change in the world of funk, soul, jazz, r+b, hip-hop, and blues and not to mention this little window we call the Internet. Social media has taken over people’s lives so much to the fact that we don’t even need professional news outlets, let alone blogs, to tell us what to think. In steps the Electric Boogaloo! Always a few years late to the technology party, we hope to not tell you what to think. Rather, we will tell you what we think about what is going on in Atlanta and the world, in particular, in soul music. That way, you can form your own opinions and biases against our own. So there it is. Our re-mission statement. Er, statements.

Anyway, we’ll have a guest in studio for this week’s show, The Funky Fiasco. They’ll be talking about and giving away some passes to their upcoming gig at the Funko de Mayo, going on May 5, at The Five Spot. We’ll also tell you What’s Up With What’s Going Down, our weekly calendar of the stone grooves to check out in and around the city of Atlanta.

So, while the blog may have been on hiatus, you could always (and still can) check us out live each and every Thursday at 91.1 fm in Atlanta, or streaming live, worldwide, at WREK.org. And if you ever miss the show, you can pick up a stream of the latest episode from right here. We look forward to serving you and hope not to burn out too quickly this time around!!

Entropy on Electric Boogaloo Tonight!!

So much for advanced notice on this, but if you’ve been listening to the show, you know that Atlanta’s own Entropy will be sitting in the show tonight. We got to hear some of their new album (which you can listen to live online at their website, linked above), Crawl, last week, and we should definitely hear more of that – plus talk about their upcoming shows. These dates include their Atlanta CD Release show coming up Saturday, Feb. 24 at The Loft. And (I don’t want to jump the gun here, but) I think we’ll have some passes to give away for that show and possibly a CD giveaway as well.

So check us out. We’ll be rappin about funk and other things, I’m sure. And playing plenty of funk. 11pm – Thursdays – 91.1 FM WREK Atlanta – and streaming at WREK.org
