The recording of the next Afroskull CD is finally underway. After a brief six-year delay, we have been hunkered down in the studio this month, laying down the foundation of our next serving of monster funk. Come celebrate this long-awaited development with us on Friday, July 28th, on our home turf: the fabulous Parkside Lounge.
AFROSKULL live at the Parkside Lounge

Coming this Friday – it’s the sequel to the all-time classic funk duel –
AFROSKULL VS. THE WILD KOBA II
The ultimate groove-rock ensemble, Afroskull, will gather together once more to do battle with the diabolical multi-instrumentalist prog-rock fiend, Dr. David Kobayashi, better known as THE WILD KOBA. Our last meeting produced a no-holds-barred evening of scorched earth funk. This time we are upping the ante with the WORLD PREMIERE of Bill Richards’ tour de force composition “Band Soup,” a lost classic from the Afroskull New Orleans era. The indestructable funky force meets the immovable rockin’ object: Afroskull vs. the Wild Koba!

Joe and Jason (and half of our expected audience) are flying down to New Orleans the next day so you know the energy will be crazy for this show.
TO OUR FRIENDS IN NEW ORLEANS: Look for us at the Maple Leaf this Sunday night! We’ll be checking out our old pals ‘I Tell You What’ along with Johnny Sketch and the Dirty Notes, and maybe even sitting in for a song or two. Also, listen for Jason on WWOZ this weekend – it looks like he’ll be spinning some old blues and funk records in the wee hours (exact times to be determined).
Laissez les bons temps rouler!
Join us this Saturday as AFROSKULL makes a long-awaited return to Brooklyn. We’ll be playing for the first time at BPM in Williamsburg. We’re doing the late set following a couple of other hard-rockin’ groups:
10:30….Kevin Shea
11:30….Transmission
12:30am….Afroskull
The lineup will again feature our three piece horn section and percussionist Seth Moutal.
BPM is at 237 Kent Ave., between Grand St. and N1St. in Brooklyn…..Train to the Bedford Ave. L stop, walk down to N1 St., take a right and keep going, don’t get worried, you’re entering the abyss, find Kent, hang a left to find #237 and enjoy.
FRIDAY THE 13TH & MORE: And back to the Parkside Lounge we go for another Friday night blowout. Come on down to get down with some spooky monster funk on Friday the 13th, with your favorite 8-piece funk orchestra (and yes, all eight will be there this week).

And then join us for the rarest of the rare: a second Afroskull gig within one calendar month! And not only that, but it’ll be a Saturday night set for the late-night crowd — and in Brooklyn no less! We’ll be at BPM on Jan. 21, playing round about midnight following two other groups. And once again, we’ll have all hands on deck – the full three piece horn section and percussionist Seth Moutal.

Afroskull’s February Parkside Lounge Show named a staff pick: Some of you may be aware of a fabulous website called the Internet Archive, which contains among other things a tremendous stash of free live concert recordings. We put two shows up there a while back, and they’ve gotten some great reviews from users, and last week one of our shows was listed as the #2 pick by the Archive’s staff! Rock! If you haven’t checked it out yet, head over to http://www.archive.org/audio , search for Afroskull and download or stream one of our shows.
