Gonzo Radio at its Finest.

Wow. What a weekend! We certainly celebrated independence and felt the funk to the fullest! But, unfortunately, we couldn't connect with the Funkmaster himself at The Quarry. It's quite the long story full of miscommunicational plot twists along the way. But at the end of the night, we made it to the bus, hung out for a bit, gathered some information on their next stop (Detroit's Citifest - 7/6), and started making some last minute plans to head there for the interview. When we woke up in the morning, we made a few phone calls, got press access to the event, and solidified an interview. So we rush home to get to the internet (because when you're going to an event, you might want to know exactly where it is, what time, etc. - and when you've just spent a sweaty night in the woods, you might want to shower before getting in a car for 5 hours), only to quickly find out that Parliament's performance time was 4 hours earlier than what we were initially told. Waahhn, Waahhn, waaahhn, waaaahhhn (did you pick up on that? :) and if i could find a way to type out the sound a balloon makes when the air gets let out, i'd so do it). There was no possible way to make it to Detroit in enough time. Heartbreaking, I know.

So, as it stands in the end, we've got access to a phone interview that will be happening soon, so no worries. We're going to put together a fantastic podcast episode for you when it's all said and done. We have an interview scheduled soon with Kim Manning, one of Parliament's amazing vocalists, who also has her own band and album. We've got 4 of her tracks that we'll be featuring along with the interview. Also, there's a KILLER Bernie Worrell and the WOO Warriors set from 2004 on Archive.org, so maybe we'll slap that in there somehow as well.

Be sure to tune in to www.ruKusradio.net at 8pm EST for ruKus - auKourant with Moestradamus! It's a show featuring new music to ruKus radio, that tends to dip into the classics every now and again!

And that's it for now! Stay tuned for more information on some truly BIG things happening this summer! We'll bring all of them to you, right over there, on ruKusradio.net.

Who Wants the Funk on Independence Day?!

Gotta have that funk! Ladies and gentlemen, ruKus radio is pleased to announce that we'll be kicking it with George Clinton and Parliament Funkadelic tomorrow, July 5, at The Quarry! We're not exactly sure of how things are going to go down, but we're going to be there with all of our gear. So be sure to tune in tomorrow around 5 or 6pm for updates! We've got access to an interview, whether or not it will be brodcast live, we're unsure. But either way, we'll be recording, and if there is no broadcast, we'll put together a nice little podcast episode for you!
