In one of his bone solos, Joe Bowie gets to show a closer relationship to his brother Lester.
And Kim Clarke is still as funky as ever.





...Interview with Joe. (A lot of this, i'm guessing, is in Dutch)


And then there's...



...Knuckle Sandwich

Kool! I wish there was more footage on Bowie and Defunkt available on this side of the water...

I didn't even know that they had done a music video back in the day.....

Kool that both Vernon and Bourelly sat in with the group along the way.....

Yeah, it's dutch. But why is Joe using a dutch word? What's his relation to Holland?

While I greatly appreciate the musicality of the group, it's a little too stylized. Too fusion.

Loved the top video best! biggrin

I think their records were in higher demand THIS decade than in the 80s!
