You Can't Be Funky If You Haven't Got A Soul

Bush Tetras - You Can't Be Funky (234 kbps)


We've been into the idea of basing posts on images inspiring music selection as opposed to vice versa. Or in other words, we wanted an excuse to post this picture, and all-girl 80's no-wavers Bush Tetras (and these two awesome tracks from the only full album they ever released, Boom In The Night (Original Studio Recordings 1980-1983)) seemed like the best fit– prototypically New York post-punk marked by scrappy guitar distortion and a solid injection of funk. Guitarist Pat Place tears shit UP.

  1. Someone put "Too Many Creeps" on a mixtape for me one time maybe 5 years ago... glad to see it surface here.

  2. Bush Tetras are one of my favourite bands of all time and their music seems to be come increasingly relevant as time moves on...you should check out the 2009 Burglar Tom edit of 'Snakes Crawl', its primed for funk devestation!

    Not to get all anal and trainspotter but its a common fallacy that they were an all female group, Dee Pop was certainly a geezer as we say here in the UK ;)
