Balls 'N Cabbage - (Almost) Everything (2006-2009)

Balls 'n Cabbage is my college band, we haven't played together since May of last year (but we did party together and it was glorious)! We play a thumpin' mixture of funk, jazz and psych rock that lends itself to jamming (like a 14-minute Maggot Brain cover).

The band features a rotating cast of characters, including Mike "Tiny" Skladel on guitar, Mike Tobey on the Bass and Ross Procaccio on the drums. Sometimes Mr. Adam Zucker joins on the vocals and Jon Ellis on the sax. The full-length album, "Passion of the Cabbage" also has guest horns from Gary, Guido and Justin of Marx Revolution, flute by Forgy and piano by Mr. Tristan Fields.There are also a few outrageous tapes of these gentlemen out there, including a jam where BnC was joined by Michael Krause on the oud, Sam Giovannini on another bass. They did Bill Cosby and an outrageous groove fest dubbed "Space Plumper." Nobody knows where these are and it kinda sucks, because those jams were fun. There are also some recordings from February 2008 when Chris Smith came and recorded us in Dodds practice room 104. It was electric.

RIYL: Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, Funkadelic, King Crimson, Hawkwind, James Brown
