Sounds Like
"Like post-punk reference-point the Talking Heads, Konk apply the rhythms and melodies of Latin music within funk's staccato pulse. But while the Talking Heads' experimentation is contained in song forms, Konk maintain a funk-sprawl ideology in a system that foretells acid-jazz-- a slew of solos and sections announce themselves unprovoked over shifting grooves, creating non-linear yet highly organized multi-part jams. With several layers of live and electronic percussion, Konk compel movement. You don't need to dance to enjoy the music, but Konk won't likely do much for you if you're sitting still-- driving, running, cooking, or partying are all recommended Konk-enhanced activities." ----------------Liam Singer

MY ALBUM "LOVE'S SWEET SONG" HAS BEEN NOMINATED FOR A WAMMIE AWARD AS JAZZ ALBUM OF THE YEAR! LISTEN TO SOME SWEET SOUNDS - AVAILABLE @ www.RichardHarrisLive.com
Have a GREAT WEEKEND Konk!
TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT INSPIRATION ...
"It is not the CRITIC who counts;
not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled
or where the doer of deeds could have done them better.
The credit belongs to the man
who is actually IN THE ARENA,
whose face is marred by DUST and SWEAT and BLOOD;
who strives valiantly;
who errs and COMES UP SHORT again and again;
who knows great enthusiasms,
the great devotions;
who SPENDS HIMSELF in a WORTHY CAUSE;
who at the best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievement,
and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while
DARING GREATLY
so that his place shall never be
with those COLD TIMID SOULS
WHO KNOW NEITHER VICTORY OR DEFEAT."
~ Theodore Roosevelt, 26th President Of The United States
DON'T BE ONE OF THE COLD TIMID SOULS WHO SIT ON THE SIDELINES IN LIFE AND CRITICIZE THOSE WHO ARE ACTUALLY DOING SOMETHING! GET INTO THE GAME!
With LOVE, RESPECT, and PEACE my friend,
Richard
