After 5 funky years, Reggie is moving on to spend more time doing other things. We have had many great times together and are thankful for the time Reggie spent with us behind the drums.

We are also very excited about our new drummer, Marc Joseph. He is an accomplished, funky individual from New Orleans. There is a link to his site from ours. Check him out!

We are celebrating our one-year anniversary at the Santa Monica Bar & Grill by moving to Thursday nights starting July 17th. Every Thursday at 10 pm.

We have a new video posted on our youtube channel of us playing "Unwind your mind" at the Santa Monica Pier last year. Thank you to our friend Alec Phoenix for filming/editing/posting it.

We have set up a channel on youtube where you can see our videos and make comments about them. If you subscribe, you will be notified when we post a new video. Soon we will have footage from the Santa Monica Pier concert we played last summer and this past Mardi Gras. Check it out!

“Funky Freedom” and “On Fire” are both available on iTunes and amazon.com as downloads and on cdbaby.com if you want an actual CD. All three sites allow you to write a review. If you enjoy what you hear, we would appreciate it if you left some encouraging words for the next person who stumbles across our humble swamp funk offerings (i.e. “I pity the fool that doesn’t buy this CD!”).
