MISS WAX IS FUNK RUMBLIN’ IN L.A

LA’s own Historic Chinatown will be home to the 1st Annual Funk Rumble Block Party this summer.

This incredible grassroots event is brought to you through a collaboration of some of LA’s top underground music and art promoters.

Half music festival – half block party, The Funk Rumble is a blend of live music, djs, vendors, and artists coming together to celebrate urban soul and create the ultimate summer party!

Groove to the sounds of LA’s top funk bands. Performing live – Breakestra, The Lions, Orgone & more! Plus San Francisco’s own – J-Boogie’s Dubtronic Science!

The finest djs from LA’s top underground clubs will be laying down a vast mix of music – soul, funk, reggae, hip hop, latin and more – combining past present and future.

Peruse the vendor village and you’ll find apparel, accessories, artwork and one-of-a-kind goods presented by up and coming designers and the most creative individuals from San Diego to San Francisco.

Amazing works of art will be created right before your eyes from start to finish, throughout the event grounds and art walk area, by over 15 LA artists.

A variety of food, including vegetarian, will be available along with cool treats…cold Hawaiian snow cones on a beautiful summer day!

Sexy never really left, it just went into hiding for 25 years. I recently had the pleasure of being introduced to the smooth sounds of Darondo. Once upon a time, back in the day, you could find Darondo cruising the streets in his Rolls Royce, clad in funky fresh threads and a mink coat to match. And then he was gone. Thankfully he has come back into the public eye in recent years to share with us his sexy dance moves and on point advice for loving the ladies…fella’s pay close attention and take notes. You can purchase his “Let My People Go!” LP here and his “Legs” E.P. here. And befriend him on myspace here.

This past Friday night I had the ultimate pleasure of seeing him perform live in SF at The Independent. As part of the opening act for Orgone, he did his thang with Nino Moschella, backed by The Park. Here’s a little video from the night. Please note Darondo rocks Creative Rec’s…steeeeeeze for daze.
