Post-Christmas serving of funk

Posted by Stephen Centanni | Dec 23, 2020 | Music Briefs | 0 |

Band: Disco Lemonade’s Flannel Fling
Date: Saturday, Dec. 26 at 8 p.m.
Venue: The Merry Widow, 51 S. Conception St., themerrywidow.net
Tickets: $10 at the door

The music scene has to give props to Disco Lemonade. This new-school funk and soul group had just established street credibility when the city went into lockdown. Disco Lemonade’s dedication to its music has allowed them to conquer lockdown and emerge still musically intact. The band’s “Flannel Fling” will be a good chance to get out of the house and groove into the evening. They will entertain the crowd with a few funk and soul standards mixed with their original material. With a bright, fresh style of funk and beautiful vocal work, Disco Lemonade is sure to make some new fans.

Paid to Pretend will be lending support at the Flannel Fling. For the past few years, this young musical collective has specialized in their own brand of rock. Indie rock arrangements and deep soul vocal work highlight Paid to Pretend’s sound. Unfamiliar ears might liken them to Alabama Shakes’ earlier material that was more rock than retro. As of late, Paid to Pretend has been busy writing and recording with new singles available. This will be a great opportunity to sample this new material in a live setting.

Ballastella will complete this three-band lineup. This group was originally known as Compass Rhythm. Now, this new band on the music scene is filling live shows with a number of rock favorites as well as a few originals.

About The Author

Stephen Centanni

With the exception of two years spent at Auburn University, Steve Centanni has spent his life in Mobile County while focusing on his two passions: music and the written word. As soon as he was issued his driver’s license, Centanni began to explore the local music scene in the early ‘90s. He filled his weekend with visits classic local venues such as the Four Strong Winds Coffee House, Vincent Van Go-Go’s and Culture Shock, all of which welcomed those who had yet to reach 18. After high school, Centanni traded Mobile for Auburn to complete his B.A. in English with an emphasis on general writing. While at Auburn, he had the honor of studying under the Pulitzer-winning poet Natasha Trethewey, who served as the nation’s Poet Laureate in 2012 and 2014. After receiving his diploma, Centanni quickly moved back to Mobile and completed the University of South Alabama’s graduate program with a M.Ed. Eventually, he was tapped by the nationally distributed Volume Entertainment Magazine to serve as the magazine’s managing editor/senior writer. His time with Volume allowed him to exercise his love for both music and writing. As Volume began to fade, Lagniappe recruited Centanni as their Music Writer and later their Music Editor, where he has remained for a little over a decade. As far as his involvement in the local music scene, Centanni organized Cess Fest at the Langan Park, which was a mini-festival focused on original local music in a time when original local music was veritably taboo in Downtown Mobile. For a short time, he brought original music to Downtown Mobile as the in-house promoter for the now deceased venue Cell Block. He managed local underground powerhouse Fry Cook, until the members parted ways. Centanni has lent his bass to bands such as Keychain Pistol and The F’n A-Holes, and he toured nationally as a member of Abstract Artimus & the Torture Children. Currently, he provides vocals for the garage blues rock outfit Johnny No. Ultimately, Centanni’s experience in the local music scene as both a participant and an observer has allowed him to witness the ever-changing persona of Mobile’s enigmatic music scene, which continues to leave him with more questions than answers.
