The Staxx Brothers  //  Hard Ass Soul

The Staxx Brothers are a high energy American band, hailing from Seattle, Washington, that has spent the last seven years crafting an incredible new sound they've branded Hard Ass Soul. It's quite simply the most danceable and hip shaking brand of rock & roll to hit US streets since Motown left Detroit. Where modern Rock most often has forgotten its Roll, The Staxx Brothers make it back to the juke joint, and take you back to the black church, dragging modern rock by its collar right back to its birthright - with an epic flare that matches any of the classics.

Where as The 12th Street Blues documents the evolution of the group over its 3 1/2 years of production, We are The Blaxstonz, completed over that many months captures everything The Staxx Brothers gained in establishing its definitive line up. Out of the wilderness years, DP Staxx & his back up singers The Staquelettes cut their teeth on the Staples and dined on the Carters. The band however stood the most to gain from hard time on the road; developing a sound as heard on deep cuts like 'G-Spot' & 'Game Recognize Game,' which has led many impressionable young women to collapse from sheer exhaustion. While many church groups have called these dark rhythms an abomination and an immediate threat to our nation’s youth, it takes but one listen to the sabers rattlin’ and heads rollin', on songs like ‘Almost Got Shot in North Minneapolis' & 'Little Big Time' to know these accusations are of merit.

Staxx Brothers proved the closest thing to vintage Funkadelic I've ever witnessed, right down to the janky thrift store costumes and impolite wilding. A huge mob on stage, they've imbibed whatever elixir Bootsy, George and Bernie swallowed back in the day, getting up there and proudly playing rump rattlin' cartoons and then backing it up with whomping good musicianship and tunes you gotta be dead to resist... Festival planners: Book these guys! You will not be sorry.
