High-energy psychedelic future funk band Sexual Thunder! is on a roll.
A packed fall show schedule has seen the group open up for NOLA legends Rebirth Brass Band and Dumpstaphunk, and play high-profile slots at Tipitina’s and the Maple Leaf Bar. Halloween weekend culminated in the band’s first-ever music festival play at Voodoo Music and Arts Festival where the band got to perform for NOLA natives as well as a national audience.
Now Sexy T (as the band is known by friends, family, and fans) presents its first major single release since its debut EP, Cheek Sweat. The new track, “Round and Round,” presents a new iteration of the band’s signature sound: blending old-school funk with contemporary synth soundscapes and electronic drums.
A tribute to the band’s collective creative style, this track went through many hands before reaching its final state. Two-time Grammy Award-winning producer Chris Finney (engineer and producer for surging NOLA acts The Revivalists and Naughty Professor) engineered the original sessions. Following up with production from the band’s sonic advisor Dave Wolfe, the song found its completion with a mix by local producer/drummer/songwriter Aaron Boudreaux.
Listen to the new single, streaming below.
Sexual Thunder! will be presenting this song live, as well as many more from their catalog, at One Eyed Jacks in New Orleans’ French Quarter on Friday November 11, supported by the up-and-coming band Sexy Dex and the Fresh. Find more info here.
