About Make it Funky
Make It Funky believes in crowd pleasing engagement, the
call and return. We believe that the funk is a vibe that goes beyond the music
and beyond the party. The funk is a sort of radiation of positive energy from a
person’s body, an insistent rhythm appealing to various carnal qualities. Maybe
funk is the difference between a group of people playing music and a party.
Whatever it is, Make It Funky keeps it funky, but with one exception – the
Funky train doesn’t go off the tracks. This train goes and goes; a churnin’ urn
of burnin’ funk, slow without a hurry in the world; a steamrolling groove
machine that’s still on time, always keeping heads nodding and two feet
stepping.
About Mad Alchemy
Mad Alchemy is an analog liquid light show — a dramatic
montage of color always moving and changing in the great San Francisco
tradition of Bill Hamm, Glen Mckay and Brotherhood of Light from the heyday of
the Bay Area’s psychedelic ballrooms. Principal Lance Gordon has been involved
with this art form since 1971 and learned the essence of liquid projections
from a former member of the Brotherhood of Light. Mad Alchemy has toured the US
and Europe, performing in iconic venues like the Forum in London, the Trianon
in Paris, Irving Plaza in New York and the Fillmore in San Francisco. Mad
Alchemy has performed with top bands in psych rock and other genres, and Lance
Gordon has shared the stage with the likes of Big Brother and the Holding
Company, John Lee Hooker, Boz Skaggs and Tower of Power.
Cost: $5 in advance and $10 at the door.
