SF Weekly Music Awards 2002
Nominated for the
Soul / Blues / Funk Catagory
"Whether Raw Deluxe is in its free-flowing improvisational mode or working
through the sweaty structures of its awe-inspiring catalog, the quintet is
always a sure bet for a good time. With a musical history that stretches
back to the Bay Area's late-'90s acid jazz and hip hop scene, the band has
spent almost five years building a reputation for expert guitar work,
energetic horns, and propulsive organ grooves.
Comprised of Chris Spano on drums, Chris Arenas on bass, Matt Fleming on the
electric piano and organ, Tony Jurado on sax, and Jason Collins on guitar,
Raw Deluxe released its acclaimed debut EP, Back to the Jungle, in 2001.
XLR8R magazine promptly hailed the effort as "killer jazz-funk," and the
band reeled in a host of awards that year. The six-song disc -- especially
the awesome single "Get Some" -- whetted the appetites of many funk fans.
Raw Deluxe intends to deliver its bootylicious follow-up sometime in 2003,
after the group comes back from its current West Coast tour. Of course, the
group may never return: Like true road warriors, Raw Deluxe has been gigging
nonstop in support of Back to the Jungle. For this boombastically fun live
band, the stage is a home away from home, especially when the ensemble's
playing with such popular acts as Marginal Prophets, Boomshanka, Mission:,
and the Breakestra.
Wherever Raw Deluxe is, it can always be counted on to cook up a savory mix
of danceable tunes. If you like your funk steaming, try it Raw."
-SF WEEKLY
XLR8R MAGAZINE
"Killer jazz-funk from this San Francisco outfit, complete with horns,
wailing keys and tight rhythm. They've been quietly winning loyal fans for
the past few years, and it's easy to see why. Check 'em out."
-Toph One, XLR8R
