L'Afrique Brothers

This is NOT L'Afrique Brothers, but it is a song that we play. I wrote this song over the span of a year in 2005 with Reggie Drew on bass , Paul Verke on Guitar, Paul Maas on drums and me ( Kendon ) on guitar. This was a song that was not usual for The Dulangs, as we were more of an alt rock group. Toward the end I was taking a lot of influence from Chitlin Circuit era R&B proto funk and soul. James Brown, Isley Brothers, Otis Redding, Sam & Dave, Wilson Pickett. Motown/Stax. Over the years I would develop brass parts for it for The Slippery Slope. Now L'Afrique Bros are playing it.

I have complicated feelings about AI, but I intend to take a very measured step into the void for production purposes. This is an off the cuff initial test run. I used the audio of a recent rehearsal. There was a certain band that I was a huge fan of as a teenager just about the time they released their album Screaming For Vengeance New Wave of British Heavy Metal (NWOBHM) standards for style was set by these guys. Bonus points for who can name the song.
