Performing live:
AFROLICIOUS -- https://www.facebook.com/afroliciousmusic
Plus guests, TBA!
Despite originally hailing from Kansas City, Afrolicious is a uniquely San Francisco type of experience. The brothers McGuire (Oz and The Pleasuremaker) started as party hosts and DJs at their weekly Afrolicious party at the Elbo Room. From there, they found likeminded party goers turned band members, and Afrolicious was born. This is music for everyone -- as long as they like to have a good time. Pleasuremaker and co. bring together live funk, rock and roll, African music of all types, and his DJ skills to make Afrolicious a live act that keeps you hooked. You'll be tempted to bring your own conga to play along, but you probably won't have time between all the dancing and drinking and sweating you'll be doing. Sharply dressed musicians of all stripes hit the stage to release the jams; lots of percussion, electronic effects, horns, synth beats, vocalists galore, and funky guitar, bass, and drums are just a few of the things you'll see and hear when Afrolicious hits the stage. It's a whirlwind experience combining dub sounds with Latin, African, and good ol' Bay Area music. Despite the chaotic looking and crowded stage, a cohesive, steady beat of dance music flows into the crowd. Talented singers, powerful percussionists, and the feel-good vibes of Afrolicious are hard to resist -- and this creates a loop effect, where the band feeds off the energy from the crowd and vice versa until the entire room becomes a sweaty, smiling mess of rhythm.
