Review: Butter Funk Family - Facts (Beets & Produce)

When the family automobile is covered in butter you know there's a going to be a FUNK - and that's a FACT! 

You'll remember hot buttered soul in the 70s, so be prepared to be blown away with the Butter Funk Family and their new EP, 'Facts' as a modern day cross between George Clinton-esque funk royalty/Mark Ronson and a big band Cookin' on 3 Burners with guest vocalists!

In fact the heavy organ groove of 'Kootsy Mootsy' is one of the stand out tracks on the EP which is cool 'cos 'Love Power' could have been done by War or Tower of Power; free your mind and feel the funk.

Hard to image what these guys would be like, I'm guessing a massive soul & funk review but their on a European Tour next month so here's a rare chance to catch them live.  Not sure tracks like, 'Touch This' and  'Pussy Pit' would make them wholesome family entertainment as it verges on Miss Millie Jackson meets Black Eyed Peas/Fergie.

We are told that "the tour features special guest Alana Hil, marking her first European appearances with the project. A rising voice in contemporary soul, Alana brings a deeply personal and globally influenced sound, adding a powerful narrative layer to the tour. She also appears on various tracks on 'Facts', further connecting the EP to the live experience".

So, if you like funk/soul with a tight horn section (as in 'Six Shooter' and 'Somethin' Crazy') you'll be wanting Butter Funk Family, will have you on toast for breakfast.
