Over the last three years, The Old E Allstars have attracted a large, consistent following in the Pittsburgh area. They've done it with slammin funk grooves that get the people dancing, and blues ballads that often leave fans with goosebumps. The Allstars perform mostly original material, with a few soul/funk classics rounding out each set.
The Allstars have performed at all of Pittsburgh's hottest venues and clubs, including Mr. Smalls, Diesel, Thunderbird Cafe, Hard Rock Cafe, Pepsi Roadhouse and Club Cafe. Last September, they played live on the WDVE morning show and were featured on the 105.9 X website, as part of their local 'crash pad.' Last summer, they had Pittsburgher's dancing in Market Square at the city's Arts Festival.
The band was reviewed and advertised in the City Paper and their first album, funkadelica, is often played on WYEP. In February of 2007, the band performed a show at Mr. Smalls which was filmed and placed on Comcast On Demand.
The Old E Allstars was originally formed in December of 2004, and was led by vocalist/guitar player, Chris Kratt (CK9). In 2008, CK9 and The Old E Allstars split, but the revised roster is full of talent and fresh material.
The ten piece ensemble consists of Kyle Lawson on vocals/guitar; Tony "T-Funk" Thomas on Bass; Dave Varasse on drums; Taki Batis ..s; Drew Gartner on guitar; Miguel "Cha" Singuen on percussion; Aaron Bennet on tenor sax; Mark Custar on trumpet; Randolph on alto sax and Jason on Tenor Sax.
The group loves to play for new crowds and has played at venues and festivals from Huntington WV to Erie PA. They try to treat each member of the crowd as if they're a part of the show.
Their debut album, "Funk In Your Hand," was released in the fall of 2006, featuring a mixture of funk and R&B jams. Their new album will drop by the fall of 2008, so keep your eye on that, and don't forget... Aint No Party Like An Old E Party Cause An Old E Party Don't Stop!
