The Butler Combo- It's a Little Awkward at First

For a lot of bands, the departure of a lead singer can be devastating; but I have feeling The Butler Combo were unphased when their vocalist called it quits. This power house of musicians are continuing the funk rock art, pioneered by such artists as The Red Hot Chili Peppers. The flamethrower guitar solos performed by Michael Butler get progressively more potent through out the song periodically returning to the intro riff that holds everything together. The Bassist, Jake Marek is clearly adept as well. You can easily imagine how much fret work had to be done on his behalf to record this song. If you a have a sub woofer you should turn it up to really appreciate the fluid bass line. The drummer's contribution should not go unpraised either. David Suriani's explosive fills help instill the incendiary feel of the song. As far as drummers go he also carries a characteristic uncommon for many and that is his discretionary use of silence. Like every great drummer, Suriani knows when to let the anticipation build. Feeling funky tonight? Let the Butler Combo serve it up.
