The Sounds Like A Party tour is off and running, fueled by the funky fires of Lettuce. The six-piece ensemble has been laying down some thick funky grooves, thoroughly impressing with ever opportunity. The band’s 2015 release Crush only pushed the band’s sound further into the realms of psychedelic funk, and that energy has bubbled over into astounding live shows.

The band’s fall tour started off at Toad’s Place in New Haven, CT last Tuesday, September 20th, with the band letting loose in a great performance. The show featured a cover of Tears for Fears’ classic “Everybody Wants To Rule The World,” and saw Nigel Hall sit in on keys and vocals for the whole performance. Of course, the band’s original music was on full display, with tracks like “Blaze,” “By Any Shmeeans Necessary,” “Phyllis” and more!

Fortunately, there’s a tape of the full performance available. Check out the audio recording below, courtesy of taper Keith Antaya.
