Concert tip: War @ State Theatre tonight (with vintage video)
May 15th, 2009 by Eric Snider in FeaturesMy sleeper concert of the weekend is War, the Southern California band, formed in the late 1960s that blends flowing funk, Latin, Afrobeat and rock into a sound that has held up extremely well over the years. Case in point: Who doesn’t get a little kick in their step when they hear “Low Rider.”
Show details: War w/Triptico/Soul Purpose/The Producers @ State Theatre. $26.
Here’s a couple of vintage vids to prime the pump:
“Low Rider”
“Slippin’ Into Darkness,” from Soul Train (dig the dancers)
