Gurufish at Smith's Olde Bar - July 12th 2008

Category: Funk, Shows, Soul

OMFG the funk.  So funky it hurt.  All the funk you can sop up with a bicsuit.  Did I mention it was funky? I might have a little bit of a soft spot for the funk, but I mean damn, these guys brought it!

I *love* Smith's Olde Bar.  It's probably my favorite place in Atlanta to see a band.  Plus, they have fried pickles downstairs.  Yes, deep-fried pickles.  How can you go wrong?

I showed up to see the main act Papa Grows Funk from New Orleans (see upcoming post), but honestly, Gurufish is my kind of band.  It's like James Brown and Prince had a love child.  Papa Grows Funk is badass in their own way, but Gurufish is my kind of funk.

Jimmy, you know you are my absolute favorite funskter - I tell EVERYONE I meet where they can get their own copy of "Mohair Supreme.
"

I don't think I ever told you, but in Spring of 2007, while driving from ATL to a State of GA meeting in Milledgeville, I was pulled over doing 73 in a 55 as "Mohair Supreme" was going full-blast on the CD player -- somewhere between "Funky Queen" and "Falling in Love," I believe. When the cop got out of his car and approached me, I cranked it up and told Mr. Putnam County policeman ALL about Gurufish. I'd like to thank you, your band mates, and of course my two other well-known and stalwart "friends" for getting me out of a ticket that day.


Sorry I haven't seen your last couple of shows - I have the feeble excuse of being very busy. I promise to hit the next show and will bring lots of friends.
Keep it up!!! We love you!!
