Music Picks for Saturday, May 8

Funkuponya - Berkeley Cafe (Funk/Jam)
It's time to get your Funk fix and this Raleigh band will do just that..... These guys are THE funk band in town and will be playing with familiar running mates Hot Politics. This should be a GREAT show to shake it, or just enjoy the music. With Leo on Bass, Brian on Keys, Carl on Drums and Carl on guitar - make an sound that is a mix between john gros (thanks Brian) and Johnny Sketch.... The only thing this band needs is some Horns!!! Thankfully Hot Politics is there and will lend a hand in that dept....
This band has a great sound, each show gets better and better and I'm glad to see them out there with more and more bookings and exposure...
www.myspace.com/funkuponya - check out "Hot Air Baloon Chase" as well as my fave back from the old Mayhap days "Jims Chicken"
Expect a 9pm showtime - with Funkuponya starting around 11 or so...

Steep Canyon Rangers - Cats Cradle (Bluegrass)
The best Bluegrass in the State and one the best in the country throw down on Saturday in Chapel Hill.... This is a must see for those of you jonesin for a Bluegrass fix... See my earlier post on them in Feb - awesome stuff and not to be missed.
www.steepcanyon.com - listen to "cant sit down" "be still Moses" and "rambling man"

Q-Bex & The Jackets - Pourhouse (Rock/Americana)
This is a makeup for a cancelled show from last week - should be an awesome time!
