thursday soundbites, no. 9

I first saw Turkuaz back at CMJ, the music festival I started covering for The Tripwire the first week after I arrived in New York. Since then I've seen them about three or four times, and next Friday I'll be seeing them play again, partly because I just can't get enough of dancing to really kick-ass, live funk music and partly because they do just about the bitchinest Talking Heads covers in the whole wide world.

I've seen them do this, and "Slippery People," which was unreal. I'm hoping for "Take Me To The River" next, but only if I can sing lead.
