Water Seed

Any fans of the New Orleans band Water Seed here? I saw them last night in Kansas City without having heard a lick before, and I was very impressed. While they are primarily a funk band, their versality at mixing genres reminded me of our Purple Yoda. I never knew exactly what the next song was going to sound like. The first couple of songs were kinda P-Funkish, and then out of nowhere came a tune that reminded me of one of those new-wave rockabilly things with squiggly synths that Prince would toss off in the early '80s. Later songs fairly effortlessly pulled from R&B, jazz, rock, doo-wop, and gospel--and I might be forgetting a thing or two. They call it "future funk." Great stage presence, too.

I couldn't tell you which songs to check out, being so new to them myself, but go see them if you get the chance.
