Macrotones To Perform Live At Spike Hill 2/26
Boston Afrofunk band The Macrotones will take the stage at Brooklyn's Spike Hill on Saturday, February 26th at 9:00 PM to host an Afrofunk dance party like the borough has never seen.
While rooted in groove-fertile Afrobeat, the 10-strong Macrotones expand their sound with commanding horns and a drilling percussion section. Respectful of the Fela Kuti legacy, the Boston collective erupted out of a traditional Afrobeat ensemble in 2007, knowing there were new, heavier directions to push toward. With a low and chunky bari-tenor-trombone horn section up front, a slinky tectonic deep end behind, and grinding organ and edgy guitar popping off all around, the band's sonic layering serves as a musical tactician's manual. The Macrotones share the bill with Buru Style, The Flowdown (CD Release Show), MK Groove Orchestra and The Essex throughout the night. Admission is $6
