SPECIAL DANCES for Weddings: Please note that we will need your special dance requests, (I.E. First Dance, Father/Daughter Dance, Mother/Son Dance etc) FOUR WEEKS in advance prior to your event so that we can confirm that the band will be able to perform the song(s) and that we are able to locate sheet music. In some cases where sheet music is not available or an arrangement for the full band is need- ed, this gives us the time needed to properly prepare the music and learn the material. Clients are not obligated to send in a list of general song requests. Many of our clients ask that the band just react to whatever their guests are responding to on the dance floor. Our clients that do provide us with song requests do so in varying degrees. Most clients give us a handful of songs they want played and avoided. Recently, we’ve noticed in increase in cli- ents customizing what the band plays and doesn’t play with very specific detail. If you de- sire the highest degree of control (allowing the band to only play within the margin of songs requested), we ask for a minimum of 100 requests. We want you to keep in mind that the band is quite good at reading the room and choosing songs that best connect with your guests. The more specific/selective you are, know that there is greater chance of losing certain song medleys, mashups, or newly released material the band has.

  • Chic & Nile Rodgers – Ett Rockband För
    Lördagspremium: Chic & Nile Rodgers – ett rockband för discorörelsen Att kalla discomusiken för en fluga är att göra det alldeles för lätt för sig. Precis som med alla genrer som har så tydliga attribut och förtecken – hårdrock, punk, new romantic – är det lätt att göra narr av och underskatta discons inverkan på musikhistorien och populärkulturen i stort. Faktum är att alla vet hur discomusik låter och vad som kännetecknar den korta period den regerade på listorna. Och med tiden har dess simpla budskap om att dansa och ha roligt gång på gång omfamnats av det hårda, moderna samhället, lika mycket som dess musikaliska attribut gång på gång återanvänts i alla typer av dansmusik. Om man skrattar åt disco idag gör man det mer på grund av de hårresande utstyrslarna och de fåniga, om än stilbildande dansrörelserna än de de facto grymt svängiga låtarna och extremt detaljerade – och minst lika stilbildande produktionerna. Tiden har på många sätt gett discon rätt, åtminstone ur ett musikaliskt perspektiv. ”Tiden har på många sätt gett discon rätt” Precis som så många andra hårt arbetande svarta musiker i New York var Nile Rodgers, född 1952, uppvuxen med R&B, soul och jazz. Hans första betalda gig var dock någonting helt annat – som musiker i The Sesame Street Band, som gjorde musiken till barnprogrammet med samma namn. Efter att ha backat bland andra Screamin Jay Hawkins på legendariska Apollo Theatre träffade han 1970 basisten Bernard Edwards – som han för all framtid skulle komma att kalla ”min partner” – och tillsammans kompade de ett stort antal mer eller mindre kända artister innan de bildade sitt eget Big Apple Band, som hade några mindre lokala hits i början av 70-talet.

  • Young Americans to Emotional Rescue: Selected Meetings
    YOUNG AMERICANS TO EMOTIONAL RESCUE: SELECTING MEETINGS BETWEEN DISCO AND ROCK, 1975-1980 Daniel Kavka A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF MUSIC August 2010 Committee: Jeremy Wallach, Advisor Katherine Meizel © 2010 Daniel Kavka All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Jeremy Wallach, Advisor Disco-rock, composed of disco-influenced recordings by rock artists, was a sub-genre of both disco and rock in the 1970s. Seminal recordings included: David Bowie’s Young Americans; The Rolling Stones’ “Hot Stuff,” “Miss You,” “Dance Pt.1,” and “Emotional Rescue”; KISS’s “Strutter ’78,” and “I Was Made For Lovin’ You”; Rod Stewart’s “Do Ya Think I’m Sexy“; and Elton John’s Thom Bell Sessions and Victim of Love. Though disco-rock was a great commercial success during the disco era, it has received limited acknowledgement in post-disco scholarship. This thesis addresses the lack of existing scholarship pertaining to disco-rock. It examines both disco and disco-rock as products of cultural shifts during the 1970s. Disco was linked to the emergence of underground dance clubs in New York City, while disco-rock resulted from the increased mainstream visibility of disco culture during the mid seventies, as well as rock musicians’ exposure to disco music. My thesis argues for the study of a genre (disco-rock) that has been dismissed as inauthentic and commercial, a trend common to popular music discourse, and one that is linked to previous debates regarding the social value of pop music.

  • Nile Rodgers in New York City, 1991
    Nile Rodgers in New York City, 1991 68 MUSICAL EXCELLENCE Nile Rodgers HE CREATES A DISTINCTIVE SOUND ON THE RECORDS HE WRITES, PRODUCES, ARRANGES, AND PLAYS ON. BY ROB BOWMAN Nile Rodgers’ influence on popular music over the past forty years is nearly unfathomable. As a guitarist, songwriter, producer, arranger, and funkster extraordinaire, Rodgers has left his imprint on a stun- ningly wide array of genres including disco, R&B, rock, mainstream pop, hip-hop, and EDM. Looking over the breadth of his career, a case could easily be made that no single individual has had a greater impact on the sound of pop, from the late 1970s to the present day. ¶ Alongside his partner, bass player wunderkind Bernard Edwards, Rodgers wrote and produced hit after hit for Chic, Sister Sledge, and Diana Ross, tearing up both the dance floor and the radio. After Chic broke up and Rodgers and Edwards went their separate ways, Rodgers broke free of the disco moniker and reinvented himself, producing, arranging, and playing guitar on David Bowie’s come- back album, Let’s Dance (1983), and Madonna’s breakout album, 69 Like a Virgin (1984). Along the way he took INXS and Chic in their prime then Duran Duran to new heights with “Original Sin” with Rodgers and and “The Reflex,” respectively, and produced albums by Bernard Edwards Mick Jagger, Jeff Beck, the B-52s, and David Lee Roth. center stage, 1979 He played key guitar parts on Steve Winwood’s “High- er Love” and Michael Jackson’s HIStory. More recent- ly he cowrote and played guitar on Daft Punk’s “Get Lucky,” winning two Grammy Awards in the process.

  • “Rapper's Delight”-- Sugarhill Gang (1979) Added to the National Registry: 2011 Essay by Eric Reese (Guest Post)*
    “Rapper's Delight”-- Sugarhill Gang (1979) Added to the National Registry: 2011 Essay by Eric Reese (guest post)* Sugarhill Gang Original disc Sylvia Robinson Introduction To those who were alive in the late 1970s, the song “Rapper’s Delight” was, upon its release, a sensational, soul-gripping, well-celebrated and well-applauded song. “Rapper's Delight” by the Sugarhill Gang, like every other great song, has enjoyed its fair share of appreciation, recognition and criticisms and indured a few scandals and lawsuits and other disputes typical of many hit songs of that era. The 1970s was an age of continual development in rap music which had begun no less than seven years before. Rap artists struggled to find voice, or even producers, to support their talents or provide a covering for their gifts. That era sank more rap ships than any in history and few nascent rappers had the guts to keep on living through the genre which was slowly coming to be known as hip-hop. The song “Rapper's Delight” itself was termed the pioneer upon which the wide-scale influx of hip-hop to the larger market was built. Not that it was the first rap song released, but it was one of a kind, considering the overall reception to hip-hop music back in the day.
