One of my favorites!!! NY funk to the max, Kim Clarke just plain rules! I hope I mentioned them in the funk bands with a message thread awhile back.

The original is by the O'Jays. Anthony Jackson on bass.

I heard them on the No Wave New York comp. They were pretty good.

I do like the few Defunkt tracks I've heard. The inclusion of Melvin Gibbs on a project usually means it's worth checking out.

Another "no wave" NYC funk band I like is ESG - has anyone else ever heard of them?

I have a few of their albums. Two of my high school friends were in that band (trumpet and guitar).

A fan from way back!

Check out this You Tube footage from 1981 of them ripping through "Make Them Dance"
