Tonight: Turkuaz


What's that knock on the door? Who's that, knockin' on your door? You aren't ready, that's too bad, because the funk has arrived, and most importantly, the Brooklyn Power Funk. No matter how prepared you might be, you aren't. It hits you the same way each time--that sassy, finger-snappin', knee shakin' groove. I'm talking Turkuaz here--this nonet (Dave Brandwein, Taylor Shell, Craig Brodhead, Michelangelo Carubba, Greg Sanderson, Josh Schwartz, Chris Brouwers, Geneva Williams, Sammi Garett) will be taking DGBG's by the tip of their finger slides and the heat of their mesmerizing snares. Powerful, yes, in the inspiring way, and this is sure to be an uplifting battle. After sealing a residency at the Brooklyn Bowl, which is one righteous thing to have under their belts, Turkuaz is expanding their presence beyond NYC, and we're jazzed to have them here in Buffalo. Here's the details--Duke's, 9 p.m., $10 at the door, hell yeah.

Tonight: Turkuaz


Tonight Brooklyn powerfunk all stars Turkuaz bring their hard hitting funk stylings to Nietzsche's to tear the roof off the heart of Allentown. Disciples of the almighty Sly and the Family Stone, Turkuaz blends earnest funk, a New Wave aesthetic, and a case of Red Bull to stage a riotous and irresistible live show guaranteed to have asses shaking. Did I mention that they're from Brooklyn? That they're Brooklyn Bowl regulars, and that you really ought to follow Brooklyn Bowl's deeply edifying Twitter feed? It looks like MNM and ECE Presents did it again. Tickets are $10 and the doors at Nietzsche's open at 9.

Tonight: Turkuaz



The nine piece Brooklyn funk band known as Turkuaz stops by Soundlab tonight for an explosive night of music. Widely popular in Brooklyn and NYC, they have several nationwide tours under their belt and two independently released full length albums.  Just by looking at their instrumentation line up, its obvious this band means business.  Three horn players and two female vocals are all I need to know about this band to decide I will not miss the show.  After listening to a few tracks on their website, I can't wait to see them live.  Its definitely loud and fun, which is perfect as an after show to the Mighty Mighty Bosstones show at the harbor.  The doors of Soundlab open at 9 pm and its only $5 if you bring a flier from the harbor show or are still wearing your bracelet ($10 if you didn't go to the harbor). See you there!

Tonight: Turkuaz

Tonight Buffalo State College’s Student Union hosts the 10 piece funk band Turkuaz. The band is a mix between James Brown and Chin Chin, providing the audience with an ample amount of energy to keep the listeners moving and grooving. After being named one of the Top 5 bands to see in New York City in 2010 by Deli Magazine, Turkuaz is quickly becoming THE funk band of NYC. Since forming in 2007, Turkuaz has played Phish after parties, opened for countless established acts, and regularly plays the Brooklyn cooler-than-thou secret loft parties. If you are looking for a funk band that plays louder, faster, and harder than anything you are used to, then you should probably check this one out. Doors are at 8:30 with a $5 cover.
