Stevie Wonder, acid house, and the apocalypse walk into a recording studio. No, that's not the beginning of a joke. It's a pretty good description of where my conversation with The Burroughs is headed on For Funk's Sake!
Bri Harris is back, and this time she's brought guitarist Jack McManaman to talk about the band's brand-new album, Apocalypteque. We pick up where our last conversation left off, when their single “Got To Free Your Mind” gave us a little musical nod to Stevie's “Ordinary Pain.”
From there, we're talking musical reinvention, their return to the East Coast, and a New York City gig at The Groove. And because it's the 50th anniversary of Songs in the Key of Life, Stevie gets his due.
And to wrap it up, Bri and Jack face a particularly cruel round of Soul Survivor. Friendships may be tested!
