Review Centre: Funk Bands

"Simply fantastic! From the very beginning, they were kind, understanding (after two years of postponements!), and extremely professional. They are an outstanding band! They know how to entertain guests, making them sing, dance, and have fun! Thanks to them, our wedding was joyful and unforgettable. I highly recommend them because they are truly unique! Thank you Sonny for everything!"

Not only are they incredibly talented, but they’re also genuinely lovely people. They’ve definitely gained some loyal fans. If you’re looking for a band to turn your wedding into a party, The Street Foxes are it!"

"Tony has put together an outstanding outfit that will certainly put a stamp on your event. It’s a life long dream for him to create a band of this kind, operated by himself which reduces problems you tend to find with entertainment companies that operate as an agency. With Toneacity, you will deal with the main man which is amazing! After working alongside the band, they focus on attention to detail, creating an amazing atmosphere and engaging the audience. Definitely consider these for your event! "

"Stefano and the entire band were a dream come true for our July wedding in Umbria ! Their collection of songs set the perfect tone for the night and our family and friends loved every minute of their set. They were such an incredible addition to the evening that made the memory so special. It was wonderful to meet them and we would share their info with any friend of ours that is having an event in the same area in the future."

"These guys were absolutely amazing. In the lead up to the wedding, they went out of their way to practice a new song for our ceremony, and it meant so much to us that they did this. Andre's communication was brilliant and he was so patient with all my questions! Walking down the aisle to live music (singer and acoustic guitar) was my dream and this moment was so special and beautiful. The full band then played their set later in the evening. And WOW!!! They were incredible!! All our guests were amazed with how great they were and the atmosphere they created. I wish we could do it all again! We kept changing our mind about getting a band, but we are so so so happy we went with Sugaland. Amazing group of people and brilliant entertainers. Do not think twice - get them booked!! We love you guys."

"There’s more to Johnny Ticktin than meets the eye. Well-versed in the blues, having once served as lead guitar player for the legendary Louisiana Red, the open-minded Ticktin is a sponge, soaking up the subtle six-string nuances and intricacies of a multitude of genres—from surf to classic R&B, swing and even Mambo—on his eighth album with The Headhunters, That’s All I Need. It would feel right at home in any rough-and-tumble roadhouse. The title is borrowed from a song, covered here in all its dark, swampy glory, off Magic Sam’s 1967 iconic electric blues marvel West Side Soul. Watery, backwoods ripples of Sam’s tremolo guitar style and seductive rhythms meander through Creedence Clearwater Revival’s mysterious kudzu on Johnny & The Headhunters’ version, as Ticktin and company paddle up a lazy river of Bayou groove. Just as fluent in nasty rockabilly, they thrive in the sweltering heat of the 1957 obscurity “Chicken House,” giving it a warm buzz and making it rumble and swagger, while the lascivious, infectious funk of “Body and Fender” – a Doc Pomus/Duke Robillard joint originally built for soul crooner Johnny Adams – shakes all over and ogles the female form. A rousing, boogie-woogie version of Lowell Fulsom’s Chess Records’ hit “Rock ‘Em Dead” is wonderfully shambolic, and Ticktin rides the lightning of the Link Wray instrumental “Ace of Spaces” like a champ, gleefully wheeling through edgy garage-rock riffs with appropriate vim and vigor. What feel he and his band have for this material. There is not the slightest bit of indifference to it anywhere on this record. Not that they need it, but help arrives in the form of keyboardist Tam Sullivan, who wraps smoky, sensual organ and wraiths of piano around a soulful remake of Bobby “Blue” Bland’s “Lead Me On,” and singer Liz Springer, who joins her brazen vocals to Ticktin’s in the cheeky, but charming, duet “Watch and Chain.” And, with the solid machinery of a good backing band at work behind him, Ticktin can just let loose – witness the slide-guitar fury of their cover of Elmore James’ “Shake Your Money Maker.” For aficionados of tasteful guitar work and music that time shouldn’t have forgotten, this is what you need. —Peter Lindblad SPREAD THE NEWS!
