The Motet Mixtape 1975 & Zigaboo Modeliste In New Orleans

On and around this past Halloween, The Motet embarked on the Mixtape 1975 run in which they presented a batch of funky covers from that magical year in music history. The Colorado funk revivalists will bring the theme down to New Orleans for a special performance at The Howlin’ Wolf on May 3 featuring support from Meters drummer Zigaboo Modeliste’s Funk Revue.
