Lubriphonic greases your ears, moves your hips, and leaves you reeling in sweaty bliss. Simmering and intense, with chops to spare, Lubriphonic’s live performances create a spicy dish that is guaranteed to cure what ails you.
Lubriphonic is the brainchild of guitarist Giles Corey and drummer Rick King and began with a residency at Chicago’s legendary Checkerboard Lounge. They recruited some of the best blues, funk, and rock musicians in the city for these raucous sessions. The result fuses roots music with explosive rock’n’roll and sensuous old-school dance music-- part Stones, part Funkadelic, and part Otis Redding.

Hi Paul, it was a pleasure having Lubriphonic. I thought the band kicked ass. I was glad I could put them on the main stage and I am positive it helped the after – hours. I don’t recall the moon being that packed ever for our after hours. Good luck!
Steve Gumble - Telluride Blues & Brews Festival 2009
Chicago band Lubriphonic goes for the bluesy funk rock. Soul Solution is a mix of the Stones ca It's Only Rock 'n' Roll , The Neville Brothers, and Living Colour in their Vivid phase. So what do you get: good time party music peppered with politics -- check out Suffering Fools which includes some serious questions for budding suicide bombers.
Recommended band for the President Elect to invite for his inauguration. Tell it like it is, guys.
Hans Werksman, "Here Comes The Flood" 2008
"Superb, adventurous, diverse, simply mesmerizing instrumental work. Steeped in soul, rock, pop, and blues, Lubriphonic's members play with a tenacity and precision that sets them apart from equally proficient bands."
--Mick Skidmore, Relix Magazine
"Combine the best elements of old-school funk and edgy rock and roll, throw in some soulful R&B, and you end up with Lubriphonic, one of the most happening bands out there today... Lubriphonic draws from strong, eclectic influences, yet is cutting-edge original-- Soul Solution is a listening pleasure and a dancing treat".
-- John Lynskey, Hittin' The Note
"This is dynamic, adventurous funk, real groovy stuff, with flares of jam rubbed soft around the edges by soulful brass. It's the kind that invades the limbs and jumps around inside them like Mexican beans, and it's only made stronger by the vocal prowess of singer Giles Corey. I foresee a raucous, sweaty party. Jump on in. It's good for the soul".
--Katie Klingsporn, Telluride News

Hey all!
Just returned from Telluride and have to recommend booking Lubriphonic at your club or concert series this winter. They've played Summit, Denver, Telluride and Crested Butte before, but never the Vail, Aspen or Steamboat areas so you might not know much about them.
Normally a band that plays night shows, Lubriphonic filled in for a band that wasn't able to make their afternoon main stage appearance. They had 5,000 people dancing and frolicking in musical bliss for the full hour and twenty minutes. Oh, and then they rocked their late-night set at the 200 person capacity Fly Me To The Moon Saloon where mobs of people showed up early and waited eagerly throughout the night for the one-out, one-in policy.
My opinion of the band is that Giles Corey is one of the best frontmen to come out of the music scene in a while. He's extremely talented and energetic and seems like a masterful improviser. The equally talented band members all follow suit musically with a set of music that you can tell is flowing out of them based on instinct and inertia instead of any sort of premeditation. They are all rhythmic geniuses as well as masterful lead soloists. For the best example of this, check out Soul Solution, an original song by lead guitar and vocalist Giles Corey which can be listened to for free (along with the rest of their afternoon TBB set) on their website www.lubriphonic.com. There are a few solos and one of particular mention is the bass solo by Rob Bell at about 7:50 into the song, which is absolutely phenomenal. Showing their range, they launch into a soulful version of Wilson Pickett's Don't Let The Green Grass Fool You, one of a few covers they mixed in throughout their sets of mostly original songs.
Should they find they're way to any or all of your venues this winter, you can be assured of extra publicity for this band in whichever issue of Mousike is about to come out. Please contact Phil@simonsaysbooking.com to book Lubriphonic.
Take care,
Todd

Don't Make Me Poison Your Food
Trophy Husband, The Kid and I went to see George Clinton and Parliament Funkadelic on Friday at Crossroads. Crossroads is the open are behind Grinders in downtown KC. It's a pretty cool place to see a show and they have a lot of shows coming up (including Gwar this Wednesday, hahaha!) check out the schedule here.
Even with the rain we had all that morning it was still a great place to see a show. They have several picnic tables and the ground is covered with a heavy layer of wood chips so there was almost no mud. There are a couple of low spots way over in the lower corner but that's not a heavy traffic area so it's not really a problem. There were lots of Johnny on the Spots or you could go inside and use the restroom at Grinders if you did not mind standing in line. And there seemed to be plenty of places to get soda, beer and water. If you paid cash. If you are using a credit/debit card you have to go into Grinders and order at the counter. That line could get pretty long. But there was food to be had there and at another place next door. Everything was reasonably priced. Most shows are all ages and you can usually bring in chairs and blankets. That stuff does vary depending on who is playing. Buying tickets in advance is a few bucks cheaper than getting them the day-of. You can buy online, at Grinders in KC or The Bottleneck in Lawrence. If you buy online there is a "convenience" charge.
We got there at 5:30, pretty early for a 7 pm show. But we wanted to make sure we had a good parking spot — I won't park Klaus just anywhere you know — and we thought we would get dinner at Grinders too. The menu on concert nights is shortened, but still good and we enjoyed everything we ordered. But 5:30 was just too early. We were finished eating by 6:15 so we moved outside to secure a spot at a table for the show only to learn that at 6:30 they make everyone leave and reenter through the main gate with their tickets. We were near the front of the line and ended up in a better spot than where we started. They had been working on the PA the whole time we were eating dinner, you could hear them doing sound checks outside, and they continued working on it until the opening act, Lubriphonic, took the stage at 8 pm, a full hour after the show should have started. Lubriphonic was great. I was not sure what to expect but we all enjoyed their performance in spite of the PA problems that continued through their set.
Before George Clinton took the stage, there was another act that I just don't know what to make of. They were not near as good at Lubriphonic and I was glad when whatever it was there were doing was over (You damn kids get off my lawn!). Unfortunately by that time it was 10 pm. Trophy Husband held our spots at the table and The Kid and I moved down in front of the stage and stayed there for the first few P-Funk songs. This was my first P-Funk show. It's pretty crazy. At one point I counted 19 people on stage singing and playing instruments. The costumes are insane. And the dude that performs in nothing but a diaper was physically removed from Grinders just before taking the stage for flashing the waitress when she asked to see his ID. I guess that was not the ID she had in mind. And there was plenty of herbal refreshment moving through the audience. One guy, who was standing right next to The Kid and I, lit up and started passing. He almost passed it to The Kid but realized he was a 6 foot tall teenager and not and adult and changed his mind. TK was pretty shocked at the whole thing.
Since the show started so late we did not get to see much of the P-Funk set. We left at 10:40, TK had a track meet the next morning and TH had to get up at 5 am and leave for Guards. We all had a good time, and had Saturday not been such a busy day, we would have stayed for the whole show. TK did take first in both of his events on Saturday throwing 31' in the shot put and 61' 8" in the discus. It did not hurt that he was the only one in his age group that day.
And by the way, the people watching was awesome. There were old hippies and new hippies. A guy with gray hair walking around in a Run DMC t-shirt. There was one dude who looked like the illegitimate child of Bob Ross and Ronald McDonald and tons of girls in heels that were way to high to be comfortable on concrete, forget wood chips. I'm surprised I did not see anyone actually fall down. With all of that my favorite was a t-shirt that read "Don't Make Me Poison Your Food." Watch the side bar, I'll be adding that shirt to the Rambling Hussies Collection at a later date.
