July 23, 2009 Disco sucks
Saturday (July 25), 10pm, Casanova, Makawao
From time to time the '70s genre that brought us tunes like "Funky Town" is brought back to life and reanimated for no particular reason, other than perhaps novelty. This doesn't mean that disco doesn't suck, at least the bubblegum offshoots that came to overshadow disco's funky origins. Orange County-based DJ Poppa is doing something different. A founding member of Double-Fisted Underground and Smartbeat Sound System, he and DJs Dirty-Lo and Scotty Coats constitute a project called Suck My Disco, which distills the more soulful elements of disco and sets them to a different beat. The result is a rich, highly danceable sound that lacks the aspects of disco that make most of us cringe. Poppa's Facebook fan page gives a pretty solid description of their sound: "We enjoy and demand wicked mind-massaging disco and weird spaced-out dance rock…" Not bad. Saturday's show is brought to us by 'a'a Disco, which hosts Mainland and neighbor island DJs "who are instrumental in the cosmic disco edit craze" in an attempt to foster the genre on the Valley Isle. DJ Keegan also plays. $5 before 11pm.
