I want to expose you all to this terribly overlooked band. Its party music, its 80Ães, its talk box, effects and loads of synth and funk, and a great mellow style. I love these guys, and you deserve to know them. I know most a lot of you will feel the need to post "hey, thats ghey" or something. Keep it to yourself. If you cant realise this is brilliant, you simply don't deserve it. One of my favourite Zapp tracks: A great live video with: One of the great soulfull tracks with Zapp: If anyone is in doubt, i'm 100% serious |

I'm fucking obsessing over them. Its such great music. I'm so inspired for my own stuff. How someone can write such uplifting songs? There is not a hint of irony in my undying love for these guys. Its fucking brilliant, and anyone who cant see that, doesnt deserve this hidden gem of a band. Their whole sound palette, naive lyrics and their vibe. Yep. This is probably my favourite band. |

The ballads are a bit of a guilty pleasure, because they are so extremely sleazy. But its just soooooooooooo good..... |

Found this historical clip on youtube. This is the exact clip the troutman family was watching when they decided to become talk box kings |

Yes yes yes, awesome tunes. In a similar vein Ronnie Hudson & The Street People's "West Coast Poplock" is a classic also, but I can't find a youtube vid for it. :( Yeah, the 80's were just as good for funk as the 70's in my opinion. If you like this sort of thing check out Chromeo's mix album on Igloo records which draws a neat line between late seventies/early eighties funk and soul up to early house. Yeah, good call. |
