Track 6 from Action Figure Party's self-titled album.
There's a new party emerging from the eclectic music scene in Los Angeles. Keyboardist, vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Greg Kurstin has gathered some of alternative rock's finest musicians to form the new band, Action Figure Party. Kurstin, who has recorded with the Red Hot Chili Peppers (on their smash album Californication), Matthew Sweet and other heavyweights of the pop and alt-rock worlds as well as his own critically acclaimed band, Geggy Tah, has been an important part of the alternative rock scene for years. At the same time, Greg's roots lie in jazz, groove, and soul music. Action Figure Party steps outside of the more traditional formats, blending Greg's diverse background to create funky, grooving music that is decidedly unique and captivating. With their first Blue Thumb release, Action Figure Party, the band shows just how well jazz and rock can hit it off by combining the intensity and energy of the latter with the improvisations and harmonic complexity of the former. It's a blend with an unprecedented sound.
The impressive guest list for the Action Figure Party includes: bassist Flea from the Red Hot Chili Peppers; Sean Lennon (turntables), Incubus' Jose Pasillas (drums), and Cibo Matto vocalist Miho Hatori. The Party also boasts trombonist Gabrial McNair (who plays keyboards for No Doubt), David Ralicke on trombone and sax (from Beck's band), Buckcherry's Yogi on guitar, and bassists Daniel Shulman (plays with Garbage), Fima Ephron (a Gil Scott-Heron associate), and Mike Elizondo (who has played with Dr. Dre and Eminem). Drummers Yuval Gabay (from Soul Coughing), Gary Novak (Chick Corea, Alanis Morrissette), and Brian Reitzell (from Air and Redd Kross), along with percussionist John Molo (Phil Lesh and Friends) kept watch over the Party's beat.
