Breakfast guitarist emeritus Tim Palmieri and Todd Stoops from RAQ, in consistent fashion linking their jam roots opened up with a bluesy line before launching the band into Gung Ho. At this point Livolsi's basslines drew you in like a fucking groove lasso. Throughout the night there were guest spots by several unexpected heavy weights including Neal Evans of Dopapod and Jeff Lloyd of the Heavy Pets. Master bassist Victor Bailey also graced the stage which added an air of regality to the royal court of funk.
Perhaps high tide occurred during a drum battle between resident Fu drummer Adrian Tramontano and Biodiesel's Johnny Rabb. Literally it was a sonic tennis match between two drumming giants as your head pivoted between percussive volleys. With 2 more Mondays to cut through at Brooklyn Bowl its an opportune way to spend a Monday night, or as Palmieri pointed out at one point during the set "I thought it was always Friday?"
