Topic: "Groove Is King" new Rock Candy Funk Party album

Very excited to see that the new RCFP album "Groove Is King" will be coming out soon. Presale for it starts June 26th and the album is due out the end of July. This is going to be a good one. Tal has been working a long time on getting it just the way he wants it. Horns have been added to the mix and it features a cast very fine musicians. It's also got a pretty cool album cover design as well. Can't wait to hear it all!

thanks for the horns info
the clips sound great and i also liked the little preview vid sound, hope its part of one of the songs
not sure how to share that other than  the facebook page
https://www.facebook.com/rockcandyfunk/ … mp;theater

for the life of me I truly struggle with the artwork......not sure if it is worse than the girl pooping on the amp image or not, pretty sure it is. i tend to be a prude but its quite the turn off. i am sure i am not the target audience though so mumblemumblemumble
I'll buy it but perhaps put some brown tape over the cover art - it is definitely a no facebook share for me hmm

Pooping on the amp! Lol!
Sounds like a Bevis and Butthead bit!

Your rock candy baby
Your hard sweet and sticky

Re: "Groove Is King" new Rock Candy Funk Party album

Oh my! Well Jane if you didn't like the cover, you sure aren't going to like the official video for one of the new songs "Don't Be Stingy With The SMPTE". Have to admit I pretty much cracked up laughing when I watched it.  Sure can't say Joe doesn't try new things, lol. This is about as far away from the blues as one can get wink Can't wait to hear it what it sounds like live. And very curious what SMPTE stands for. Okay, get ready, here it comes big_smile https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OzX5--WkSIY

Edit: I think they are going to have to clear the tables and chairs at the Baked Potato because this is dancing music! Tal had told us a while ago that people aren't going to be able to sit still with this new album. He's really hoping to attract a younger crowd with it's dance vibes. Now I can understand why smile

Re: "Groove Is King" new Rock Candy Funk Party album

Oh Boy! Are those new to the band?
JANE, Don't clik that link!
Helen hollered from the kitchen, "Who's playing that disco funk?" tongue
Better drag out that box of stuff from way back. Where's my blingage?

edit: So does that mean there will be an 11 piece band on the stage?

Yeah, that's what we discovered when we looked it up. Just wondering if there is more to it than that. With these guys you never know wink

Re: "Groove Is King" new Rock Candy Funk Party album

RFCP doesn`t really "do it " for me but if I was in Cali, I would have gone to see the boys for sure.
chance to see Joe/Tal at the Backed Potatoe would have been real nice
