JIVE TURKEYS RELEASES
The Jive Turkeys $4.99 B.A. 7" Single
The Jive Turkeys' sophomore 7-inch is here! And "B.A" is easily The JT's most gritty, nasty recording to date with the fast, funky, and bluesy "Chickenfoot" on the flip to boot. As always, these are pressed in small amounts, so get them while you can!
The Jive Turkeys' first 45 is hot off the press. Two funky instrumentals, "Straight Fire" on the A-side and "Thumpin" on the flip. They've been pressed as a limited edition, so get them while they're hot!. All customers who purchase a 45 will be emailed mp3s as well.
"If more soul is what your hole craves you might want to check out the newest two-track 7” vinyl single from The Jive Turkeys."
- El Keter, Okayplayer
"In the four-piece tradition of the Meters, Middletown, Ohio's Jive Turkeys execute a pair of spirited funk instrumentals, using organ, guitar, bass, and drums to funky effect. While 'Straight Fire' cissy struts across the A-side, the up-tempo 'Thumpin' careens full throttle across the flip."
- Wax Poetics
"STRAIGHT FIRE is a sure-fire sexy-party dancefloor groover!"
- Jon Kennedy, Modart
"If this 45 was an ice cream flavor, it'd be B-A-D! The Funky Jive Turkeys 45’ has a ‘straight fire’ sound that pays tribute to the funk/soul artists of old but forges a strong new identity for themselves. In today’s music scene, this sound exudes musical artistry and transcends the base unoriginality of the majority. Thanks for keeping the soul alive."
- Jon Bennett, WMSR
"The Jive Turkeys are confident as hell and know what they are doing right. They have to be confident. They named their band The Jive Turkeys."
- Pat. James Longo, Primitive Sound System
The Jive Turkeys are made up of four musicians who have been playing together for the better part of the last five years in a hip-hop group called Soundscape. Soundscape is a group based in Oxford, OH, home of Miami University. This is where Matt Amburgy (organ), Terry Cole (bass), Andrew DeRoberts (guitar), and Rob Houk (drums) first met. And while Soundscape has always provided all of them the opportunity to grow and develop as musicians through the group’s unique fusion of genres (hip-hop, funk, jazz, rock), The Jive Turkeys is a group that is much more narrow in its focus.
The formation of The Jive Turkeys came about when the four decided they wanted to record some stripped-down, raw funk. So, they borrowed an organ, a Leslie, some old amps, all got together in a tiny little room and started cranking out tracks.
