(poster by DJ Bongohead)What a great time I had bringing you some funky rock jams. We're just getting tuned up for our Rumba Psicodélica FUNK ROCK party this Friday night at The Rendezvous. Studebaker Hawk, Bongohead and myself will be bringing the 60s/70s funk rock vinyl and Mr Bell of Bell & Howl will be providing the visual stimual. We'll also be handing out prizes for Funkiest Outfit...and Most Rocking Outfit. The thang gets rolling at 930 and there is no cover charge. We hope to see you there!

As experimental and avant-garde as they may be, they sure could get really funky as well!

Tina in dominatrix mode.
