Hey November! Welcome! Battlestar Kalakala returns to @skylarkcafe in West Seattle on Thursday for First Thursday FUNK No.4, elated from Friday’s pre-Halloween spooktacular. Have you met the current First Thursday big band? Such a treat to have the opportunity to present this collective of deep talent! Let’s take a peek 👀 Again! Crew Member Spotlight: “Moose” Mike Barber @brassmoose Have you met the mighty MOOSE?! Part of the West Seattle Soul aka @thepulsations founding family, trumpeter Mike Barber has been tearing it up in Northwest funk, soul, and Afrobeat bands for over two decades! You might have caught him with Shady Bottom, Soul Senate, Lady C & The Lowdown, Cascadia '10, Altered States of Funk and plenty of others. BK is elevated immeasurably by his aural blasts! More FUNK than you can shake a starship at! #RareFunkGrooves #battlestarkalakala #wessidefunk #seattlemusic 🎥 B Dahlia Presents (at Skylark West Seattle) https://www.instagram.com/p/CVyKO8LFj7y/?utm_medium=tumblr

Was that some #wessidefunk? Big thanks to everyone who came out and played and danced and grooved and kicked it for First Thursday FUNK with Battlestar Kalakala No.3! The band was on FIRE in its expanded edition, deep on horns with Jessica Lurie, Jane Covert-Bowlds, Chris Poage and Alex Dugdale joining Jimmy and Moose on the filthy foray into the funk! Here’s the Battlestar Kalakala crew working out some cuts and grooves on #SureFireSoulEnsemble's "Aragon."
