The Boom Boom Room

The Boom Boom Room is a throwback juke joint in San Francisco that was owned by renowned bluesman John Lee Hooker. Dark but sophisticated atmosphere. Just by looking around at the room and at the pictures on the wall you can tell there have been some serious players on that stage. Now we can say we were one of them. We hit Magnificent 8 just as the curtain was rising and proceeded to rock Muevete, La Sombra and newer songs like Animated World and Controversy with a Temptations twist in the middle. The set was wrapped up with an always sloppy rendition of Drunk&inLove. After our set the headliners came on... The Soul Rebel Brass Band(soul, 2nd line New Orleans brass funk). Bass drummer, snare drummer, tuba, trumpet, trombone and sax. Again...serious players. These fellas brought it all the way from their hometown of New Orleans. Their set was banging with seemless tunes that went in and out of hip-hop and funk classics. Their horns had chops for DAYS!!. Road tested and professionally phunky. Backstage we talked about collaborating during their second set, but we had to hit the road. They played the High Sierra Festival the next day, I highly recomend checking them out.
