Saw them at HOB a few months ago.. It was absolutely sick. The whole band is great and Karl D is my favorite live performer. I remember one moment specifically where Denson dropped into a sick groove with the deepest, most growling sax solo I\'ve ever heard live and the whole crowd went nuts. I must\'ve yelled "**** yeah" a hundred times that show and my girlfriend laughed by my side all night.

Did he do his 5 minutes of "chitlins standup" gavin? His nerdy racialized banter amongst a band of white geeks makes the funk that much more confusing and wonderful. I can\'t wait until they come back, or even better, The UNIVERSE!!!

Berzerk, aside from enjoying the Greyboy Allstars, there are a lot of projects related to this band that should be checked out if you\'ve never heard of them: DJ Greyboy which actually preceded the Allstars (albums: Freestylin\', Land of the Lost), Karl Denson\'s Tiny Universe, Blu Sirkut (they are only related to the Greyboy family tree because all the orig. members played in KDTU with Karl D, so they are an extension of the KDTU lineage). I\'ve also seen Robert Walter\'s Super Heavy Organ but wasn\'t as impressed because I see badass soul-jazz projects all the time in SF and the bar has been set very high. There are at least a dozen+ more projects related to this band in addition to what I\'ve listed. (I should start a Greyboy family tree diagram in Powerpoint)

Karl D has been numero uno on my live list for some time now my friend.. and he NEVER lets me down.

No matter what form.

OK, maybe number 2.

greyboy and pfunk are co billing the warfield in SF new years. les claypool and dweasel plays father are playing SF also that night. leith\'s obviously going to tea leaf. speaking of which tlg has tour dates well into 2009. where are bfast even playing new years ? ! ?

$80 - $90 is a little steep, even for NYE.
