The Chemical Brothers
go!
May 12 - May 18 What The Funk?! Ever since George Clinton and his Muthaship dropped anchor, Philly has been drunk with the funk - to say nuthin' about its pocket-calculator-tweaked brethren, electron-soul chillun Morcheeba, DJ Shadow and Sneaker Pimps. And there's no stoppin' this Soul Train now. With mirror balls glarin' and smoke machines pumping, handfuls of funky folk are headin' this way, live for May. And if the live funk doesn't kill you, pre-show spinners like DJs Will & Shawn, baaaad jazz DJ Adam, techno king Nigel Richards and soulful trancers King Britt and Dozia will. Chemical Brothers: With the power to drive really fast through the mega-incorporation of synth, scratched 'n' sampled sound, these bros are the Starsky & Hutch of electro-groove. The Chemical Brothers' soph effort, Dig Your Own Hole (Astralwerks), mesmerizes while it kills bugs. Dead. (Electric Factory, Fri., May 16)
