But after 2020, everyone under the sun is asking that same question. Dumpstaphunk, New Orleans’ heavyweights, wrote and recorded the track — along with the majority of the upcoming full- length album from which the song takes its name — before the pan- demic hit last spring. Still, there might not have been better timing for the band to release the single last August, near the anniversary of Hurri- cane Katrina and amid an ongoing pandemic and nationwide protests against white supremacy and police brutality. “This song means a lot to us,” Neville says. “And when we saw what was going on around us, it made even more sense.” Dumpstaphunk releases its new album, “Where Do We Go From Here,” on Friday through The Funk Garage, a new record imprint started last year by Mascot Label Group and funk icon Bootsy Collins. The band will celebrate the album release with a live, drive-in concert on Saturday, April 24, with Smoke N Bones and Soul Brass Band at the Shrine on Airline. The show is organized by Farm- stand Entertainment, a new entertainment initiative incorporating restaurant-prepared meals and farm produce into its events. Go to farmstandlive.com for more information. “Where Do We Go From Here” is Dumpstaphunk’s fourth album and its first since 2013’s “Dirty Word.” Core members keyboardist Ivan Neville, guitarist Ian Neville, guitarist and bassist Tony Hall, and bassist Nick Daniels are joined by new members trumpeter Ryan Nyther, drummer Devin Trusclair and trombonist Alex Wasily. Ivan Neville, Hall and Daniels share vocal duties. Dumpstaphunk began working on the new album about two or three years ago, Ivan Neville says, and the band recorded whenever it could when the members were in town between the band’s busy tour schedule. They had the al- bum almost wrapped up before the pandemic hit, and they were able to add the finishing touches over the last year — af- ter Neville himself beat Covid last spring. Amid the muscly mix of New Orleans funk, thick guitar riffs, and rhythm and , there’s a steadfast call for change and justice across the album. But there’s a constant fiery current of hope — both in the lyrics and in the groove — that can’t be missed. “We wanted this record to have a bit of optimism in the message,” Neville says. “We know shit’s ugly sometimes and things need to get better. Things aren’t as good as they should be, but we wanted to have the hope that, OK, things could get better.” The title song is asking the big question. “We’re all unsure sometimes about things around us and about our personal ex- perience,” Neville says. “Whether we’re feeling insecure or afraid of losing something or afraid of not getting what we want — let’s just look at it and do the next right thing and maybe things will turn out OK.” Dumpstaphunk opens “Where Do We Go From Here” with a powerful, roaring cover of Buddy Miles’ “United Nations Stomp,” featuring blues guitarist Marcus King. The message to Miles’ 1973 song — let’s find love in music’s joy and funk’s good vibes — feels even more urgent today. “No matter who you are, no matter where you come from or what you believe in, we have some things in common and music is a common thread,” Neville says. Hall brought the song to Dumpstaphunk some years ago and the band has been playing it live — it felt obvious to record a version for the new record, Neville says. Dumpstaphunk also rebooted its political anthem “Justice,” which it originally recorded with in reac- tion to the batshit campaign of Donald Trump and the tumult of 2016 following the death of Alton Sterling at the hands of Baton Rouge police. The call to address injustices against Black Americans is loud, while calling for unity in our shared hu- manity. The band added a new verse by Jurassic 5 emcee Chali 2na for this record and released a music video in October. “We wanted to reiterate the message because of a lot of the social injustice that’s going on around us, and we’re heart- broken to see that shit constantly happening every day,” Neville says. Past Saturday’s drive-in concert, Dumpstaphunk is starting to eye more live dates later this year as more venues reopen. The band is just taking things as they come, Neville says, but he’s looking forward to when the band can be back on stage together and play to a shoulder-to-shoulder audience. “Like us, everybody needs music to soften some of the darker times we’ve had to go to,” he says. “Music is a beautiful thing, man, without it I’m not sure what we’d do.” - NOLA.com (Gambit), 4/19/21 Going for adds May 3: James “Beautiful Beaches” RIGHT ARM RESOURCE WEEKLY UPDATE - 4/21/2021
