Last week I won tickets to go and hear HBE at the Albany courtesy of Destinationout.com (tidy club listings website). The Albany is a weird venue. Looks like the inside of a circus tent and the crowd was the most diverse I've ever seen at a funk gig anyway: old couples, young kids, divas, dreads, homies, homos and one geezer who bumped and grinded his way to the stage in an attempt to get the seated crowd dancing - which he did.
HBE have indie spirit in abundance, and considering the size of their collective they are doing really well to tour without the support of a record label. Check out their Myspace and pick up their live CD if you can.. Not much else to say except that they were exceptionally tight on-stage, skillfully navigated their way from afrobeat thumpers to astrofunk excursions and provided a great show at the same time.
Hypnotic we salute you.
