THE BLUE EYED DEVILS TRANSMOGRIFY INTO THE TIGHTY WHITIES, Cafe Escobar 11.7.15

Master musicians the Blue Eyed Devils seen at Cafe Escobar in Malibu on a November Saturday night, replete with great songs by The Temptations, The Four Tops, Johnny Taylor, Sly and the Family Stone, James Brown, King Floyd, Aretha Franklin, Isley Bros, Edwin Starr et al. Pictured above L-R: Joey Malone, Ron Young and Bruce Witkin. Joey called attention to the presence of his guitar tech Tonto (who strikes me as a little wooden) (also an insider joke, since Joey is Johnny Depp's band's guitarist as well.) But boy, did they inspire dancing...groove me! Good gawd, y'all!

 For their plethora of studio session etc. credentials, check LINK. However, the group soon will soon transmogrify into The Tighty Whities, since discovery of another Blue Eyed Devils who are a venally racist, white supremacist (sic) band, which rather is the polar extreme of the wondrous African-American funk offered here.

I mean, note the driving funk offered here (with background outside the stage of Malibu's toney Pacific Coast Highway, commerical district and $4 to 40 million dollar beach shacks) and that hot set list!    Band is: singer Ron Young, guitarist, Joey Malone, bassist Bruce Witkin, keyboardist Kevin Laurence, drummer Rob Klonel.

 They got rhythm, who could ask for anything more...
