The Chameleon Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 I'd love to see any form of the Meters brought here. Either the Funky Meters or the Original Meters. They are insane live and have never played in Toronto.The New Mastersounds could be cool.Bootsy Collins.Larry Graham.Bran Van 300 are not funk. Let's be clear.

DevO Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 I agree that The New Mastersounds and The Meters would both be great to see. Bootsy too. What was that show a few years ago where there were heavy rumours floating around that he was going to show up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
