Still basking in the success of his most recent album, Eleventh Hour, Del the Funky Homosapien is setting off a yet another tour, this time hitting much of the festival circuit, with stops at Monolith, Bumbershoot, Austin City Limits and plenty of others.
Del was recently featured in Pitchfork’s guest list column, where he talked about his favorite record stores, Rock of Love, and his own love of Parliament-Funkadelic:
“I was watching a Parliament show. It was in 1972. And of course, that was off the hook… George Clinton was changing costumes throughout the set. He come out as Starchild, Dr. Funklestein…it’s a trip. You know what? I kind of liked Bootsy [Collins]’s show a little better. He got a little more continuity to his stage goings-on. Like it was a little more unified and goofy. Parliament’s all over the place.”
Del’s set may not feature all the over-the-top theatrics of a P-Funk production, but he certainly knows how to put on a fantastic live show. And this summer there are plenty of chances to see that in action.
