Le Funk

ON!

Holy platform shoes! Put the last 25 years in the closet and get your rhinestoned butt on the dancefloor, because VHS or Beta’s Le Funk is the closest I’ve been to Real Genuine Disco in a couple decades. A relentless danceable beat, wicky-wicky guitar, those brilliant keyboard flourishes, a chorus that is as inane as it’s repetitive… I doubt the fine folks in VHS or Beta were out of rompers before punk and new wave lit the tinder at disco’s feet (burn baby burn!) but that doesn’t stop them from channeling the sound everyone hates to love but loves to dance to. Look for a tour shortly with I Am The World Trade Center…
