Lucy, James and Brent do Walk-In and Post-Show for KC and the Sunshine Band @ House of Blues Chicago



Underground Bluesy Funky Chicks

Shake shake shake.....

Disco fingers!
The HOB loading dock beneath the street in a catacombe like stinky alley along the river is adorned by sleepy couched funk goddesses or gods, it's hard to tell their sex. Security paged, we waited till the elevator crept down and we were greeted by a young elevator guy with tatoos and a back pack. We are no celebrities. We got a little counter space betreen to the mixing desk and the light guy, it was cozy. Our view of the stage was the best in the house only a few heads between us and the stage. We played records, (funky stuff that I can't remember right now) for two hours till curtain opened. Lucy (Wak) played with the left deck while james played on the right. Brent helped us load in, kept our spirits up and stayed all night. KC entered stage in a groove and says in the mic "I'm 55...what the fuck just happened?" Then, it was all Shake your Booty, I'm Your Boogie Man and Boogie Shoes; those were just the ones I remember. I loved the show, we had a great time. We danced our butts off!
