CLUSTERFUNK IS BACK, BABY!!

Greetings, fellow funk fanatics, soul steppers, Motown maniacs, and other assorted lovers of smooth grooves and bomb-ass beats! Just when you thought CLUSTERFUNK was dead and gone, I bring you the fantastic news that in fact there is new life being breathed into our beloved funk circus! Yes, as you probably read in the poster above, CLUSTERFUNK is being reincarnated at a new, kickass venue called Cameo. The reason why many of you may be wondering why you haven't heard of such a place is that Cameo is Williamsburg's best-kept secret... there's not even a sign out front! No, the cool kids know to walk into Lovin' Cup Cafe, rest a few minutes to enjoy the best grilled cheese you'll ever have (it's made with fucking truffle oil), then walk to the back past the newly renovated bathrooms, through a dark and winding hall, to finally arrive at this hip spot.

Yes, September the 25th will mark a triumphant return of CLUSTERFUNK with two awesome DJ's (James Lucius Gray of Team Animal Riot and DJ EVZEE), opening and closing the night; sandwiched in between the record-spinnin' will be Turkuaz (no duh) and our new friends Ikebe Shakedown, a great afro-beat band that should certainly tickle your fancy if you enjoyed Budos Band at the last CLUSTERFUNK.

There are a few key (and by key I mean totally sweet) features of this new CLUSTERFUNK that are worth noting:

1) Hand the lovely bartender a crisp, clean $5 bill and you bill be handed in exchange a shot of whiskey and a can of Pabst Blue Ribbon's finest offerings. Before enjoying the aforementioned cheap potables, hand said bartender an extra dollar or two. Be cheap, not stingy! This shot-beer combo is called a Cameo. Get it?

2) This time the party is on a Friday night! That means no excuses to not stay til the wee hours of the morn dancing your ass off to James Lucius Gray's exquisite DJ set. Getting hungry amidst all your dancing? Walk back into Lovin Cup and get a goddamn grilled cheese like I already mentioned! Then come back to the party, get another Cameo...

3) Cameo is considerably smaller and more intimate than Europa, where the first CLUSTERFUNK was held. This means fewer sweaty bodies can fit in the room, meaning if your lazy, always-running-late ass doesn't show up until halfway through the party, the room might be at capacity! I recommend getting there at 8, filling up your belly with proteins and carbohydrates in Lovin' Cup to soak up the impending onslaught of booze, then hitting Cameo at 9 to hear DJ EVZEE's set.

I'll keep you posted on any other updates that may arise. In the mean time, spread the word! This CLUSTERFUNK is shaping up to be way more kickass than the last one, but this can only happen if you help! Let's pack this joint. I know we can.

Love,

Josh from Turkuaz
