The mohawked bassist Jory Kinjo brought out the funk and rapped as his band mates kept the energy high with some crack horns and some wild keyboards complete with a rotating Leslie style cabinet for the unique whooshing sound. They kept the crowd dancing with some superb playing of originals and soul/R and B classics. The keyboardist was a card , mugging and belting out the soul while pounding out some tasty organ riffs.
On Oct. 16, former Painting Daisies frontwoman Rachelle Van Zanten played for a practically full house at the Slice. She played some tasty slide guitar licks, mostly just using her fingers to pick some sweet notes on her her battered Strat. That was very impressive watching her play some fairly complex runs. And she was backed by a killer band which featured some impressive bass playing. Her voice was a mix of the Breeders and Sue Foley.— by Richard Amery, L.A Beat editor
