What do you get when the worlds greatest funk band collides head on with the Woodstock Nation?
Drugs: The Mis-Americans, (Rx) a band with a critically acclaimed debut album and an underground reputation for a live show that rivals the best on the jam band circuit.
Rx sprung from P Funk’s frontman Mike Clip Payne’s collaboration with Woodstock’s Robert Chicken Burke and Adam Widoff (Toshi Reagon’s Big Lovely), that grew to include an all-star cast of musicians. Joe Eppard of 3, Jeremy Bernstein of Stoney Clove Lane, Stephanie McKay ( Mos Def, ) and Parliament Funkadelic’s Lige Curry and Garry “Starchild” Shider (R n R Hall of Fame 97)
Their debut album, The Prescription for Mis-America was praised for
“reviving the psychedelic sound of the 60’s but mixing it with a touch of Sly Stone and Curtis Mayfield to create their own sound, not a parody of those who came before.” ushering in the Psychedelic Soul Revolution. P funk fan mags have described it as “take[ing] up where the 1972 Funkadelic classic America Eats Its Young leaves off.”
The bands live performances are legendary. They debuted in Europe at the worlds largest new music festival, the Transmusicales and are the only band in the festivals thirty year history to be asked to play past their 45 minute time slot.
