When it’s party time, there’s nothing like get-down funky music to get things started. The Sugar Free Allstars employ a simple setup – just two performers on a Hammond B-3 organ and a drum kit – but they deliver a grand and groovy sound.
Groovy? Did I just say that? Anyway, here is how the band describes itself, and it probably makes the most sense to people who once actually used the term “groovy” all the time: “Imagine that Deep Purple and Sly and the Family Stone had a love child that grew up in New Orleans listening to Ray Charles, Black Sabbath and Booker T. That love child would be the Sugar Free Allstars.”
It’s enough to make me wonder whatever happened to my 1970s purple crushed velvet bellbottoms.
