"Fun" bands--an ongoing series

[jazzboCR]

Kinda forgot about these folks, but in a quirky way, they symbolized the disco era to me: Kid Creole and the Coconuts. August Darnell sure had and has a sense of fun and brought that forth for all of us. Here's a 2011 interview on his then-current disc on his life, thoughts, feelings and what he's up to lately: http://thequietus.com/articles/07082-kid...st-darnell << Don't forget the "Comments" *

Dr. Buzzard's Original "Savannah" Band is the first of his creations (with his brother) and first got me hooked on his concepts and executions
One thing is an utter verity about whatever he's done: It's witty, and got a good beat and you can dance to it.

NB: From that article, a quote from Mr. Darnell: " The beauty of music is its possibilities for mutation, and that mutation represents a larger global ideal: global co-existence." He's got it in one, with that.
