This is great fucking news for Kung Fu and will only bring more notice and sickness to these outings.

Considering it was just posted / announced today couldn\'t you give us a few hours to actually find out about a new member joining Kung Fu ? before telling us all we don\'t care.
As a DBB fan this is nice. should add a little something something to the mix.

I am surprised that a legit website hasn\'t been established as of yet...aside from the My Space & fb pages...unless I am missing something? I assume with they way they\'ve rolled everything else out, there\'s gotta be something in the works.
By the way... are there any large or medium Fu shirts available again? Those sizes were all out @ Vibes...

I knew more about this entire situation and was considerate enough not to leak this information or anything about this said situation.
All I want to see if this band make some fucking moves and start playing shows where the venues match thier playing.
Playing in small bars will no longer satisfy this w0oker T.

had a great time last night! kung fu played one set for just over 2 hours starting at midnight. at first they seemed a little tentative and cautious, perhaps trying to ease rob into it...but after a couple of songs they hit their stride/found their groove, and the show turned out to be a killer late night set that really got freaky and out there at times. crazy solos by everyone all night and the combo of both horns added a nice and fuller sound during riffs. i definitely think that after rob plays a few more shows with them, kung fu can really do some damage!
not sure of the setlist, but they played just about all the songs they usually play minus ventriloquist and levenger. kjambayala was awesome and teen town got pretty ridiculous. there were no sit ins due to kung fu starting later than anticipated (adrian said fareed haque was going to play sitar along to chakrabarty overdrive), although i cannot speak for anything that happened at the blue note. as for the crowd, i really do suck at estimates so ill leave that to someone else...but a portion of a pretty good crowd left after the previous band (the van burens). the crowd for fu was really into it and having fun and really stayed energetic until the very end! i did see someone recording audio....

That\'s a lot of exclamation points by snwckgtr aka snickerdoodle. With that many exclamation points you know it was "fun"! Actually, it was a decent set. Nothing too special. The horns muddied everything up. Sound balance was off. Sullivan Hlal isn\'t great with sound anyway. Mix that (pun intended) with bad horns and you\'ve set yourself up for disasster.

You seem a bit uptight granitesteve84! I\'ve never seen a a mediocre Fu show in any situation. When you put six world class players on stage, some kind of magic is going to happen! Get off the Bud light and try a Dogfish ale. snwckgtr was in the same room and had no issues with the show!

just found this on youtube (thanks to whoever posted it):
i cant do that.....
i agree, the sound wasnt great (especially with that bass-y thing going on) and the band didnt quite click for the first few songs, but i think after settling in it was pretty damn enjoyable. the sound balance was off, but i dont expect much from sullivan hall. second half was way better than the first, so maybe that evens out. i dunno...i guess its hard for me to watch them play for 2 hours and not be impressed and have a great time, redgardless of the venue\'s shortcomings :shrug:

Two of my favorite things!
Any truth to the rumor that Tim may be sitting in with Frank Viele at 11:00?
\'PKN has live music in the studio today from 11-2. You can be a part of the audience in person or over the air.
11:00 a.m. – Frank Viele and the Manhattan Project 12:00 noon – The Kind Buds 1:00 p.m. – Kung Fu
This is part of the WPKN fund raising drive, so support them if you can.

Pretty sure the opening band will go on betw 7:30 & 7:45. That should put KF on approx 8:30 - 8:40. That\'s my guess.

I agree. Do not see the band going on any later than 8:45. Unlike a bar gig, this is a venue, so the curfew is probably 11-12 on a Thursday night.
Going to be a big night. Heard that its about 200 people and half of those tickets are already gone presale.
