STYMIE SPACEY FUNK !
Influences
At Shows, I always get approached by fans of the band who say they hear a lot of Frank Zappa in our music and I usually respond, "Oh snap that's cool".
But, If you really listen, you'll hear the influences of Carl Sterling, Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck. That's the God Honest Truth !!! I personally have found inspiration from a myriad of sources - Desmond Decker (may he rest in peace), Elo, Frank Zappa, Joni Mitchell, Mavis Staples, George Clinton's Parliament Funkadelic, Eddie Hazel, Erykah Badu, Prince, Fishbone, of course Red Foxx, Richard Pryor, Dave Chappelle, etc..
But I have also been inspired by the films of Robert Crumb, Terri Zwigoff , "Crumb", Daniel Claves and Paul Thomas. Cartoons back in the 40's were so imaginative both musically and visually. Artist back in the day went all out. They didn't have computers or yuppie skills to fall back on - No safety net ! I like to think when I perform it's without a net. Either I do it or I go SPLAT !!!!!
Welcome friends to the Stymie & The Pimp Jones Luv Orchestra myspace page.
The one question people ask us is why such a long name and why such a big band ? The idea of the band name and the group was concieved by Sean aka "Stymie" Sharp, after initially being recruited by the original Stymie group in the City of Compton (Los Angeles County). Having relocated to San Francisco and witnessing his new band' s electrifying performances, Sean realized that the band needed it's own identity and added the tag name 'The Pimp Jones Luv Orchestra' (PJLO). Stymie & The PJLO are currently working on their 3rd cd, 'The Funkativity Joint'. These long time Bay Area favorites wish to soon notify the world at large of their arrival as serious contenders in the music world.

Ever wondered what to do in the event of a nuclear threat?
A while ago I found stuff that inspired me to make this film:
Living Under the Shadow of the Nuclear Umbrella
