Scarface forming a funk band

[davida.b.]

Houston, Texas native Scarface is known for his eclectic taste in music and now the rapper is fronting his own group, Scarface and The
Formahdahyde Funk Band.

The group received rave reviews at a recent performance at club Numbers in Houston, Texas, where Face and the band ripped through a
number of his classic Hip-Hop songs.

The band includes a bass player, a guitarist, two keyboardists, two trumpet players, a trombone player, a saxophone player, a drummer and three other singers.

The group was set for a high profile appearance at this year's South By South West (SXSW), the legendary annual music festival taking place
in Austin, Texas March 11th-20th.

Face and company pulled out of the SXSW for unknown reasons, but promoter Matt Solanza said those attending the conference can still expect a healthy portion of high profile, innovative hip-hop artists.

"This year SXSW is presenting some of the tightest hip-hop talent to come out of Texas," Solanza said. "From new majors like Paul Wall and Slim Thug to underground legends like Bavu Blakes and Money Waters, if you can make it to Austin, you'll be fully up to speed on what's really poppin' out here."

In addition to highlighting what Texas has to offer, the conference will also showcase new upcoming artists.

"We have cats like Chops, Diplo and DJ Lt. Dan, Ovadose from Gary, Indiana, Lunar Heights from Frisco, and an entire show dedicated to hip hop's influence around the world with acts like Ojos de Brujo from Spain, Daara J from Senegal and C-Mon & Kypski from Holland."

I'm interesting in anything Scarface does. A funk band mixed with Face is gonna be a little weird.

[West Coast Veteran]

Face was going to make a rock band before... His favorite music is KISS and Pink FLoyd.

Hmm...sounds interesting. There's not that many funk bands around so I'm definitely curious in what he does with this.
