Kung Fu w/ Those Cats
$12 ADV / $15 DOS

Kung Fu is coming into Spring 2017 hot with a huge national tour titled The Fez Tourdz. This will be a 2 set experience that involves one set of original music and one set of material from the cult phenomenon, Steely Dan. The music of Steely Dan is a perfect vehicle for Kung Fu. Best described from The Rolling Stone Encyclopedia of Rock And Roll – Less a band than a concept, Steely Dan was one of the most advanced, successful, and mysterious pop units of the1970s. Combining pop hooks with jazz harmonies, complicated time changes and cryptic, often highly ironic lyrics, the band sounded like no one else. Kung Fu’s virtuoso collective of musicians create a fun and exciting action-packed fusion experience. The Steely Dan catalogue will be a unique journey for fans of the Fu. They tested the waters 2 years ago at their annual Toys For Tots Benefit by recreating a full rendition of Steely Dan’s album The Royal Scamdz while inviting original members of the band to join in the performance. The Fez Tour will run across 20 states spanning through the Northeast, Mid Atlantic, Southeast, Midwest and Colorado. Most shows will be headlining events but there are also 2 festival stops at Wanee Music Festival in Florida and Phunkberry Music Festival in Arkansas.
