Tony Gallicchio & Funknut
Juicy
Self-released
You know Tony Gallicchio as the source of Giant Panda Guerilla Dub Squad’s funky keyboards. But the man has got a little more for you to hear. Lucky for you, he fronts Funknut which is more organ-centric than GPGDS. “Juicy,” the new album from Funknut is soul-a-plenty without the hyperbole that comes with some funk. That’s not to say it doesn’t get down … way down, with Gallicchio’s voice as the sole mellow down factor. And sheee-it! The list of soldiers of fortune Gallicchio assembled for this project is mighty, mighty impressive: Chris “Hollywood” English, Wil McKenna, Kurt Johnson, and Drew Bellavia, to name a few, help make this a party record you just need to plug in on repeat and boogie.
