In the 1980s, electro-funk was born when artists like Afrika Bambaataa, Man Parrish, and Egyptian Lover began making futuristic beats with the Roland TR-808 drum machine - often with robotic vocals distorted through a talk box. Both Collins and Clinton remain active and funkin', and have offered their timeless grooves to collabs with younger artists, including Kali Uchis, Silk Sonic, and Omar Apollo and Kendrick Lamar, Flying Lotus, and Thundercat, respectively. Legendary funk bassist Bootsy Collins learned the power of the one from playing in Brown's band, and brought it to George Clinton, who created P-funk, an expansive, Afrofuturistic, psychedelic exploration of funk with his various bands and projects, including Parliament-Funkadelic. Of course, many other funk acts followed in the '60s, and the genre thrived in the '70s and '80s as the disco craze came and went, and the originators of hip-hop and house music created new music from funk and disco's strong, flexible bones built for dancing. As David Cheal eloquently explains, playing on the one "left space for phrases and riffs, often syncopated around the beat, creating an intricate, interlocking grid which could go on and on." You know a funky bassline when you hear it its fat chords beg your body to get up and groove.īrown's 1965 classic, "Papa's Got a Brand New Bag," became one of the first funk hits, and has been endlessly sampled and covered over the years, along with his other groovy tracks. The Godfather of Soul coined the phrase and style of playing known as "on the one," where the first downbeat is emphasized, instead of the typical second and fourth beats in pop, soul and other styles. It's rare that a genre can be traced back to a single artist or group, but for funk, that was James Brown.
As the press release explains, Urie cut the album live to tape with creative partners Jake Sinclair and Mike Viola.Ĭollectively, the Viva Las Vengeance songs explore "the fine line between taking advantage of your youth, seizing the day and burning out." As Urie himself put it, " Viva Las Vengeance is a look back at who I was 17 years ago and who I am now with the fondness I didn't have before."Īhead of the release of Viva Las Vengeance - and subsequent tour dates stretching into the fall of 2022 and spring of 2023 - here's everything could find about the album. Now, Panic! - Urie's solo version of the GRAMMY-nominated act - is consolidating its identity with Viva Las Vengeance, out Aug.
three years later? And how the band became Brendon Urie 's solo project in the back-half of the 2010s? (Not to mention Urie's pivotal pop turn on Taylor Swift 's "Me!" during the Lover era.) Remember the emo heroes who made A Fever You Can't Sweat Out back in 2005? The Sgt. Over the years, there have been many Panic! At The Disco s - and they’ve all been been nothing short of interesting.
