molan Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 Taking a day off at the pool in 30 degree Key West and plugged into my iPod. Bought a clutch of Mastercuts Funk albums with me and, apart from being great poolside music, there's some really cool bass grooves going on. Brass Construction, Ohio Players, Brothers Johnson, Kool, Dazz, Eddie Harris, Donnie Hathaway, Teena Marie etc, etc. Just waiting for the bar to open and my day will be perfect Although all this bass heavy stuff is making me miss having a bass around to play along Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldGit Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 (edited) No bass to play? I bet that's hell .. there... poolside ... in Key Bl33din' West .. Thanks for sharing Oh well .. From Things to do in Key West When you miss your bass Dive! dive! dive!!! Oh and Vist the Hog's Breath [url="http://www.hogsbreath.com/entertainment/"]http://www.hogsbreath.com/entertainment/[/url] " After dinner, we headed to the Hog's Breath Saloon, a Key West institution. At the Hog's Breath, we listened to a band called The Massacoustics, who were, in a word, terrifically, fabulously awesome. Seriously. The band was only two young guys: a lead singer on guitar, and a guy who drummed with his right hand while playing the bass guitar with his left hand! I'd never seen anything like it. I was especially impressed when he whipped out the maracas and played all three instruments at once. The crowd was going bonkers: we were all dancing. After the Massacoustics finished their set, we headed back to Sloppy Joe's and danced to an 70's cover band for a while.

molan Posted September 25, 2008 Author Share Posted September 25, 2008 Checked out some of the bars last night but every single one had just an acoustic guitar playing solo singer. The Bull had what amounted to bad karaoke with one tuneless girl 'singing' listlessly along to backing tracks. Hopefully it'll pick up as the weekend kicks in!
