i think with current trends theres more chance of something like that
emerging at the moment that there has been for any time since 1979 (well
thats the thought i comfort myself with)
even the gary glitter influence is in at the mo ( goldfrapp)
if i lived near you and hadn't trapped my fingers in a car door i could be
your bass man ;-)

nick, happy mondays do have some of those elements,
thanks
yet still looking for something new to me with heavy funk but not dance club
funk as it evolved
to.particularly with
heavy thumb bass slap or disco bass, tom tom drums (instead of incessant hi
hats), and great
guitar, something along the lines of geordie and nile rodgers (chic)
and what i was implying by asking if anyone knows of music that fits those
descriptions
was.... killing joke!
but if anyone knows of others like 23 skidoo, certain ratio...by all means
pass'em along
would it be too much to hope that any new bands have this magic?
any bass players and drummers out there who want to put some of this
together?
my guitar needs some accomplices
