GALACTIC FUN :: DÂM-FUNK w/ Master Blazter Historic NYC Live Debut Performance

<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q202/licsi777/damfunkBOWERYBR-lichiban-title-600.jpg" /><img src="http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q202/licsi777/damfunkBOWERYBR-lichibanDF-600.jpg" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: left;">With a full-house chanting 'Dam-Funk' for several minutes before and after the show, the highly-anticipated New York debut of <b>MASTER BLAZTER, </b><a href="http://www.myspace.com/damfunk">DÂM-FUNK</a>'s new live band featuring<b> Computer Ja</b>y and <b>J-1 </b>along with<b> GroWeyez & the surprise gues<a href="http://www.myspace.com/pbwolf">t Peanut Butter Wolf</a></b><a href="http://www.myspace.com/pbwolf"> </a>was a historic performance...they were definitely feeling the love from NYC. I'm not into any type of hype, I just love good music and I recognize diamonds before others tell me about them. I first saw him perform last year on the Stones Throw tour, so I was really curious to see the new phase of his musical journey. (Check out my interview with him from last year <a href="http://lichiban.blogspot.com/2009/06/freedom-in-funk-interview-with-dam-funk.html">here</a>). Having a live band on stage just completed Dam's sound and took it to a completely new level. One of my favorites, "Mirrors" sounded off-the-hook with the added vocoder, Computer Jay's crazed spacey keyboard action and J-1's heavy drumming, and almost all the songs got a new twist from the live instrumentation. He smashed it with the surprise joint (at least for me) "It's My Life" --that one showed a completely new, more of the hard-rock fan side of him, further proving that he can't be pigeonholed (don't quote me on the title, see bottom video). </div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><object height="385" width="480"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/tJRyZVqWhKw&hl=en_US&fs=1&"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/tJRyZVqWhKw&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" height="385" width="480"></embed></object></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">Computer Jay, Waajeed, J-1, Dam-Funk</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q202/licsi777/damfunkBOWERYBR-lichibanMB-600.jpg" /><img src="http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q202/licsi777/DamFunk-lichiban-Bowerybackstage.jpg" /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Again, all I can say, next time he is around, go and experience it yourself...I could try to analyze it, but it wouldn't really do justice to the actual experience. I made a joke to him after the show that 'Dam Funk is going to become a cult', and in a way I believe it- being at the show was like participating in some cosmic energy exchange with him being the portal/space messenger- people were transformed after the show (Earth, Wind & Fire's spiritual world comes to mind). My friend & one of my favorite producers, <a href="http://www.myspace.com/waajeedandthebling47group"><b>WAAJEED</b></a> (PPP, Bling47) and I have joined forces to document the event and to do an interview with Dam and the other two members of Master Blazter, <a href="http://www.myspace.com/computerj">Computer Ja</a>y & <a href="http://www.myspace.com/dafunkydrumm">J-1</a>.
