Lubriphonic Brings Funk, Soul To Stickyz Tonight After Riverfest Performance!!

You might think you know what to expect when you hear the band name Lubriphonic, but you might be wrong.
Billed as "Chicago Funk and Soul," Lubriphonic doesn't mess around. The band jams the "proto-funk of James Brown" as Jambase.com puts it, and if you don't want wanna dance, get the heck outta the way.
A seven-piece band that includes several horns, Lubriphonic is ready to blow your mind — as they have blown minds at clubs and major festival gigs all across the nation in recent years, including Wakarusa Music Festival and New Orleans' famed Tipitina's club.
And tonight, after warming up with an 8 pm set at the Riverfest Stickyz Music Tent, Lubriphonic headlines at Stickyz Rock N' Roll Chicken Shack with a show at 10:30 pm!
The band has been playing sold-out shows with the likes of Widespread Panic, George Clinton & P-Funk, Buddy Guy, Dumpstaphunk and many other great bands, and they just played two days at Bear Creek Music Festival where James Brown horns Pee Wee Ellis and Fred Wesley joined Lubriphonic onstage for a few jams. Other sit-ins included Sam Kininger from Soulive and Chris Myer from Umphrey's McGee.
Another famous name Lubriphonic is familiar with is Ivan Neville, as he guest-stars on the band's new CD, "The Gig Is On," which received rave reviews from Jambase as well as Relix and Alternate Root Magazine and the Atlanta Examiner.

Here's what some other critics had to say about Lubriphonic:

• “Combine the best elements of old-school funk and edgy rock and roll, throw in some soulful R&B, and you end up with Lubriphonic, one of the most happening bands out there today... Lubriphonic draws from strong, eclectic influences, yet is cutting-edge original-- Soul Solution is a listening pleasure and a dancing treat". — John Lynskey, Hittin' The Note
• “This old-school Chicago-based rocking funk and soul band kicks up the dust with a crackling three-piece horn section and enough energy to blow the fuses at this intimate venue. Its terrific originals sound like ‘70s covers and when it does dig down for an oldie, as on Curtis Mayfield’s classic ‘If There’s a Hell Below (We’re All Gonna Go),’ it’s an all-stops-pulled blast.” – Hal Horowitz, Creative Loafing Atlanta

Now, Lubriphonic brings their electric, energetic and funk-filled show to Stickyz tonight after blowing away the staff and crowd at a recent performance here in April.
Early admission is just $5.
