Nothing Kansas City's ever heard before except for Van Halen and Fela and maybe James Brown except not quite as good as them
The Hearts of Darkness sails the treacherous current between dark Afro-beat rhythms and explosive horns to create an insistent groove with ominous intent.
So, I saw you guys at Artopia recently and you all totally rocked my world. I was wondering if when you say you have 17 band members and are growing if that means you are open to the idea of adding more. I can't do much but dance and eat fruit but I'm pretty good at both.
Cool....anything funky is always good...just wanted to know. I wasn't really feeling the band that opened for Hearts on Halloween. Not saying they were bad, just not my thing. Definitely a weird pairing though....
Chickenhoof is kind like if James Brown and Bobby Byrd joined Funkadelic. It's deeply funky and very dancy. If you like Hearts of Darkness, you're going to like Chickenhoof.
