The Band

The BootyJive cook up a highly explosive jazz-funk mix, bridging the gap between Frank Zappa and James Brown. From merciless funk to soulful dance sounds and tender ballads, Captain Rich, Mr Takaway, Loken Sand and Fleischer Doria paint a stirring and breathtaking picture of cultural life on the planet Bayou7, taking the humanoid listener on a galactic cruise to the most extraordinary corners of the jazz and blues universe.

The four ambassadors have come to earth to enlighten the audience on planet earth.
