Get Your White-Boy Funk On
Vans Warped Tour veterans Family Force 5 are about to grow up into sophomores. The crunk-rock band from Atlanta is releasing Dance Or Die August 19 and want to rock the party.
Family Force 5 say their current music sounds like Prince at a Daft Punk party with Michael Jackson on the dance floor.
Singer “Soul Glow Activator” Olds has plenty of scream to him and Derek “Chap Stique” Mount knows how to lay RATM-sounding riffs over some funky rhythm.
The Dance Rawr Dance 2 tour kicks off October 6 at Raleigh, N.C.’s Lincoln Theatre and visits some fun spots in Baltimore, NYC, Boston, Philly, Pittsburgh, Toronto and other markets before wrapping at Headliners in Columbia, S.C., November 2.
The band is promising spacesuit uniforms and the introduction of the Family Force 5000, a massive drum machine they invented that looks like a NASA launch computer.
