Dumpstaphunk - Dirty Word

2013 release, the third album from the New Orleans' all-star collective featuring Ivan Neville (vocals, B3 and Clav), the double bass attack and soulful voices of Tony Hall and Nick Daniels III, Ian Neville on guitar, and the monster addition of Nikki Glaspie (formerly with Beyoncé's all-female band) on drums and vocals. Initially started as an impromptu line-up of some of New Orleans' tightest players, hand-picked by Ivan Neville to accompany his 2003 New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival performance, Dumpstaphunk has become a stalwart touring act, richly deserving the title "Heavyweight Champions of Funk." Press accolades for the band have ranged from the New York Times hailing, in 2007, "Dumpstaphunk is the best funk band from New Orleans right now," to Bass Player Magazine saying, "The colossal low end and filthy grooves they threw down from the Gentilly Stage must have set a Jazz Fest record for baddest bass jams ever."
