They will be performing this release of epic funk proportions at the Legionnaire Saloon in Oakland on Friday, January 31st. 

About Kuckaw!
Kuckaw! is a brand spankin' new band, fresh out of Oakland, California. The band members, all seasoned players in the Bay Area music scene, have come together through happenstance in order to fulfill one common goal: to get those Bay Area booties shakin'. Influenced by the music of Snarky Puppy, Herbie Hancock, Orgone, and The Motet, Kuckaw!'s sound melds the driving, heavy rhythms of 70's funk with the hypnotic, interlocking essence of Afrobeat, adding a touch of disco, and bringing the unwieldy abandon of a Zappa-esk musical odyssey.

Adam Lowdermilk and Michael Wynar (both of Albino! Afrobeat), have combined forces on bass and guitar respectively, with Ross Mcintire on drums (of DRMS), who is fresh off the Bayou from New Orleans. Feeling the emptiness of a keyboard-less trio, the three musicians conscripted long time flood pants advocate and all around musical wizard Casey Cameron to lay down an ever-shifting polyester blanket of harmony. Shortly after, the band roped-in Bulgarian folk music extraordinaire and fulbright fellow, saxophonist Teddy Raven (MWE, Jazz Mafia). Together, the five notoriously funkified local heavy-hitters compile an outfit of epic proportions...
