Metropolis Studios Announce George Clinton Live Weekend Event
Friday, 10 January 2014
Written by Jon Stickler
Fans are being offered the chance to take a wild ride inside the mind and music funk genius George Clinton during a weekend event at Metropolis Studios, London.
Clinton revolutionised R&B during the seventies with his bands Parliament and Funkadelic, twisting soul music into funk by adding influences from several of his heroes including Jimi Hendrix, Frank Zappa and Sly Stone.
The event kicks off on January 31 with a show led by Clinton himself, featuring members of classic Parliament-Funkadelic. The evening offers an opportunity to watch the band record a full set of their greatest material for a forthcoming DVD and TV special, in front of an intimate audience.
On February 1 the band will record a super-limited edition album direct to vinyl at Metropolis, one of the only studios on the planet equipped for recording live to vinyl. You’ll sit in on rehearsals and witness how the magic is made.
Finally, on February 2, Clinton will deconstruct the original multi-tracks of some of P-Funk’s greatest works to reveal the studio secrets of how one of the band put together their jams.
Every guest will be treated like a VIP, and different ticketing tiers provide all kinds of amazing extras, including private signing sessions with Clinton, private box seating with waiter service, a tour of Metropolis studios, and even the opportunity to get your name in the credits for the new live album and DVD. Individual tickets are available for each event – or, you can also experience this monumental weekend in funk history in full.
