Details:
The Thang is a Brooklyn based funk rock band that fuses the musicality of professionally trained players with a pop sensibility and a great sense of humor to create a distinctive, fun, funky sound.
The Thang was born in the spring of 2008 when the five members of the Brooklyn bands Shaw Thang and Esther Macomb decided to join forces.
The Thang''s roots are in funk (Parliament, James Brown, The Meters, Prince and Earth, Wind & Fire), rock (Jimi Hendrix, The Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Phish, The Beatles, Raconteurs), jazz (Herbie Hancock, Miles Davis, Wes Montgomery, Al Foster, Freddie Green), and hip-hop (Mos Def, The Roots, Jay-Z, Nas). They are also voracious music fans and are continually influenced by new music in all genres.
In the live context, the Thang is committed to highly energetic and fun live shows. They strive to have all crowds dancing and to create a true party vibe. They have played shows all over the northeast, including gigs at Nectar''s in Burlington, VT, the Water Street Music Hall in Rochester, NY, the Knitting Factory and the Bitter End in New York City, Vassar College, and SUNY Purchase. They have also appeared at the Sterling Stage Folk Festival and under their former name went on a full scale tour of Colorado in February of 2008.
"As Evan Eisenberg has observed in ''The Recording Angel;'' "funk suggests the following (dialectic): music having started out as a ritual, having then become a thing, now becomes a THANG. The difference is profound. A thing occupies space, a THANG occupies time and preoccupies people. A thing above all is private, a THANG can be shared. As THANG music is again communal and celebratory. Again it is spirit: again it is ritual...."
