Colorado funk force The Motet is off and running on their Mixtape 1979 Halloween run. After smokin’ shows in Dallas, Houston, and Austin the last three nights, the band will continue to spin Mixtape 1979 tonight along with a monstrous supergroup featuring Bernard Purdie, Leo Nocentelli, Ivan Neville, Oteil Burbridge & The Dirty Dozen Brass Band horns as part of Monsters Of Funk at New Orleans’ Joy Theater.
