MANDRILL LIVE INTERVIEW AND MUSIC FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 27, 2009 8PM
MANDRILL

TWO HOUR LIVE INTERVIEW ON MIDNIGHT SOULSTICE
FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 27, 2009 * 8:00PM – 10:00PM (PST)
(11:00PM – 1:00AM (EST) 97.3 FM RICHMOND, VA.)

Richmond Independent Radio

Midnight Soulstice will present another Soul radio slam dunk. We'll dedicate this show to the mighty MANDRILL. One of funk's most progressive outfits, MANDRILL's jam-heavy brand of funk was liberally infused with Latin, Caribbean, and jazz influences, plus blues, psychedelia, African music, and straight-up rock.

Their freewheeling approach was a definite influence on the Parliament-Funkadelic collective (an early incarnation of which actually served as their opening act), and their grooves have been sampled by numerous hip-hop acts in modern days. They are most known for their 1973 hit Fencewalk, but every single one of their releases on Polydor, and later on Arista and United Artists is an absolute must for any fan of good music.

Midnight Soulstice co-host DJ Pari helped to promote and joined MANDRILL on their 1996 European tour, so expect a very personal radio special when MANDRILL's founding members Lou and Ric Wilson join us for a two-hour special! The interview will also feature classic and new MANDRILL songs so Tune in on 97.3 FM (Richmond, VA) or tune in to the world wide live stream on Richmond Independent Radio

After having the 1970s Soul group The New Birth on our show just a week ago, we'll have another slam-dunk for you tonight! We'll dedicate this edition of Midnight Soulstice to the legacy of the legendary Funk group Mandrill.
One of funk's most progressive outfits, Mandrill's jam-heavy brand of funk was liberally infused with Latin, Caribbean, and jazz influences, plus blues, psychedelia, African music, and straight-up rock.

Midnight Soulstice co-host DJ Pari played a role in Mandrill's 1996 comeback and he has toured Europe with the group in 1999, so expect a very personal radio special when Mandrill's founding members Lou and Ric "Doc" Wilson will join us for a two-hour special!
This is another show worth recording, so get your streamers ready and witness the making of history!
Shows starts at 11 pm EST!

Don't forget to come back tomorrow for the download of tonight's show!
