Album Notes

This funk/jazz/rock octet delivers nutritious grooves that should always be part of a funky breakfast. Reminiscent of such groove giants as Soulive, Greyboy Allstars, John Scofield, Kool and the Gang, and Deep Banana Blackout, Filthy Children deliver action-packed funk that's sure to move your booty. These young Denver-based musicians bring forth a variety of musical backgrounds and influences coalescing into the hip, funky sounds of Filthy Children. The band consists of female vocalist Micah Guy, trombonist Jon Braddy, trumpeter Steve Illich, tenor and alto saxophonist Matt White, tenor saxophonist Tobey Hopper, drummer Kevin Dykstra, guitarist Bryant Walker, and bassist Allen Burki. Filthy Children first hit the stage together in November 2003 and since then, they have been laying it down all over town. Some events they have played include: Lodo Music Festival ‘04 and ‘05, Capital Hill People's Fair ‘04, ‘05, and '06, Copper Mountain’s Ride for the Cure, Minturn Concert Series, Kremmling Fourth of July Celebration, South Park Music Festival and numerous weekend gigs at venues such as The Soiled Dove, Herman's Hideaway, Blue Mule, Herb's Hideout, 1515 Market, Quixote's, Dulcinea's, and Cervantes' Masterpiece Ballroom. Fate has brought this group of filthy, misfit all-stars together, and their large and quickly growing fan base are a testament to their grand performances and appeal.
