The Bonedaddys, lead by percussionist Mike Tempo, are L.A.'s original "Worldbeatniks" (since 1985) and one of the very first American bands to be described as Worldbeat. The Bonedaddys still take a "wide stance" stylistically, and claim influences ranging from Charles Ives to Burl Ives -with the common musical demoninator being a fun, dancable party ambience.
The Bonedaddys now present their 6th album "waterslide." The songs on "waterslide" feature soulful vocals by Kaspar Abbo and King Cotton and a twin guitar attack with saxophone propelled by bass, drums and percussion. The 13 grooves on "waterslide" are a merry-go-round of styles and range from funk, rock, blues mambo, soca, Latin, rock-steady and psycho-billy two-step to an afro-surf twang meets spaghetti-western instrumental.
For The Bonedaddys, Worldbeat has come full circle to include an expression of American roots music. The songs on 'waterslide" are designed to move butts of all persuasions. The Bonedaddys are launching a national radio promotion in October with Bryan Farrish Radio Promotions.
