Groove Thangs - Skunk Blood Funky (1992)

Recorded live in the studio for Selkirk Television's "Center Stage" series from 1991. Original song (lyrics and melody by Michael Stacey, riffage by Bonefish Johnny, Down Pat and Jeff Watkins).

Groove Thangs:
Down Pat - lead vox/keyboards
Bonefish Johnny - guitar/vox
Jeff Watkins - sax/keyboards
Christopher B. - bass
Tim Kuchta - drums

Since 1984, Groove Thangs have been making a name for themselves at home and on the road playing original funk, rock and soul music for the masses. Founded in Florida by Bonefish Johnny and his brother Down Pat with the help of other brother Michael and a slew of badass musicians (like Jeff Watkins, who went from Groove Thangs to James Brown for 12 years and is now playing sax with Joss Stone), Groove Thangs have forged not only their own sound but a special attitude about life and love that has endeared them to music fans around the world. After getting signed and dropped by a major label in 1989, Groove Thangs went on to successfully record and release their music independently, winning awards and gaining sponsorship while proving it on stage every night. Coming off the road in '92, Groove Thangs still perform annually (even touring Indonesia in 1994) and will be celebrating their 25th year of making funky music together!
