Guerilla Toss, (odd name for a band, whatever they had in mind doesn't work this side of The Atlantic), are hipper than you are. Don't worry they're hipper than I am too. Eight years ago they realised that they were so hip that they had to move from Boston to New York City so that their twisted liquid funk could truly realise itself among appreciative, like-minded hipsters. Perhaps, all this time later that moment has come with their third album Twisted Crystal just out.
Boy it's hip and boy it's New York City. Tom Tom Club, ESG, Liquid Liquid, Dee Lite, Luscious Jackson and other groovers come together downtown to shake their communal asses to it. Sometimes it's a little too cool for school and kitchen sink cluttered for my tastes, but in small doses it's highly effective. Take these three if you don't believe me. Groove, (as always), is in the heart... of Manhattan.
