THE UNIVERSAL FUNK ORCHESTRA
vs DAVID BOWIE ALADDIN SANE
11PM SAT 31ST JULY ?10/?15
NO RULES NO REHEARSALS NO REFUNDS
Continuing with their belief that being great is better than being perfect, Greystones’s improv collective The Universal Funk Orchestra next take on one of rock’s true icons, and perhaps his most wired and wonderful album ? Aladdin Sane.
With Ziggy Stardust & The Spiders From Mars finally making David Bowie the star he had long plotted to be, the boy born David Robert Jones was suddenly in grave danger of sucking up into his might.
Having also just produced Lou Reed’s Transformer album, golden boy Bowie was living the hedonistic rock’n’roll lifestyle to the full ? to the point that this follow-up album was recorded entirely on the road. And it’s got the raw power to prove it.
Songs such as Drive-In Saturday, Time, Cracked Actor and The Jean Genie proved that, even when not entirely on this planet, Bowie could still deliver the hits.
For The Universal Funk Orchestra, it’s the perfect combination of songwriting genius and wild animalistic abandon. And you can dance to it too. Let yourself go…

These are the same folk that did Ziggy a couple of years back, (06.24.2008 NEWS: TUFO CELEBRATES ZIGGY STARDUST IN IRELAND) and we would love to know what you make of them if you manage to get along.
