LA’S very own beloved funk-rock-soul band – WAR - was honored by the Award Winning USC Trojan Marching Band during their last home game of 2009, as co-conducted by comedian George Lopez, who channeled the Spirit of Troy. Longtime USC band director Dr. Arthur C. Bartner, passed the baton to Lopez, who made half time just a little bit funkier, as WAR grooved through a medley of timeless hits including “Low Rider,” “Cisco Kid,” and “Why Can’t We Be Friends.” WAR completely rocked the sold-out stadium, which included USC alum Dexter Holland, lead singer of The Offspring.
WAR is currently in Japan and has already played their first show in the Summer Sonic Festival. This is the 10th anniversary of this festival, in Japan, and has a line up that also includes acts like Beyonce, Lady Gaga, and Linkin Park. WAR was very well received by festival goers in Osaka and they look forward to their next date in Tokyo.
