New Year's Eve Preview: Funktional Flow at Nietzsche's


Mindbenders, rabble-rousers, sonic masters of shenanigans, all converge under one cracking roof and sticker-ridden walls to wear out 2013's old style and lash into 2014 with a flying set of diverse bands. If you're into the twisted chaos of ethereal guitar swirls and enchanting sitar plucks, I should see your bum shakin' it tomorrow evening at Nietzsche's Buffalo.

Even though many, many jam-oriented events were booked here this year, there's still no better place to surrender to Funktional Flow's eclectic style that begs the whole body to get up and groove. At times they start out coy, wheeling a reggae-steady beat, and before you know it you feel like you're breakdancing to the raging synth-like pounces of The Disco Biscuits. If you're lacking a Funktional Flow show under your leather pouch, it's a highly suggested adventure, especially with the additional acts on the bill.

Family Funktion & The Sitar Jams blend a mix of sitar, bass, and drums that give an a-rhythmic quality, similar to groups like Consider The Source and New Jersey-based Zetizen. Songs like "Lusa" and "What To Do" ring of a dark mystery in a most seductive and dervish way. Looking for something more soulful? Smackdab brings the aching funk blend, punching out a steady tune that's heavy on rock with a blues baby mixed in for seasoning. Finally, Logo City's contribution to the evening is a melodic glide and invites the organ as the main component to the sonic banquet.

All the acids and bases are mixed to the right pH level to party. Don't leave the house without your ID that says 21+, 5 dollars, and a smile. Show up around 9 p.m. if you will, babes.
