Dumpstaphunk To Tour Hard in 2009
"Dumpstaphunk is the best funk band from New Orleans right now." -New York
Times
 Dumpstaphunk |
Ivan Neville's Dumpstaphunk will spend the rest of the year (and many more
to come) doing what they do best - making music, both on the stage and in
the studio. The band (Ivan Neville, Tony Hall, Raymond Weber, Nick Daniels, and Ian Neville) will spend February celebrating Mardi Gras on the road, bringing their unique monster of a groove to familiar haunts like The
Independent in San Francisco and The Bottling Company in Hattiesburg as well
as their first trips to Reno and Houston. This first leg of the tour, which
also includes a rare appearance at The Mint in Los Angeles, will culminate
with a hometown pre-Mardi Gras show at New Orleans' Howlin' Wolf.
After putting the finishing touches on their first full-length record which
will be released later this year, Dumpstaphunk will hit the road again for
another month including shows at Martyr's Chicago, the band's debut
performance in Philadelphia, and a return to The Orange Peel in Asheville,
NC, a city where they recently delivered a standout performance in front of
7200 music lovers as part of Warren Haynes' 20th Annual Christmas Jam.
Anchoring this run will be two special Post-Allman Brothers Band shows at the
Highline Ballroom in New York City.
Looking ahead, the band will play a trio of hometown shows during Jazz Fest,
including a high-profile slot at the Fairgrounds and the band's traditional
fest-closing Sunday night show at the legendary Tipitina's, and will make
its first appearance at Colorado's legendary Red Rock Amphitheatre in
August. A perennial Festival favorite, Dumpstaphunk will spend its summer
supporting its new record playing in front tens of thousands of fans, both
new and old.
