Editorial review
00-Soul wallows in big, fat, retro grooves informed by funk, jazz-rock and Afro-Cuban sounds; all of it is combined into a simmering, booty-shaking stew and spiced up with strange samples and loops to create a very hip fusion of the old and the new that has earned the band a solid reputation as a live act in its native Long Beach, California. And even on record, 00-Soul is tons of hot, sweaty fun; from the organ-and-horn-powered old-school soul strut of "Cosmic Voodoo" that opens the program to "Super Agent Steve," which closes the album with a blast of high-octane funk-rock, there's really never a dull moment. "Ramon" and "Bossa Alma" both work an explicitly Latin groove, while "Intoxica" sticks to a horn-heavy funk and "Jungle King" weaves almost creepy vocal samples around a slow, steamy drum riff and off-beat horn line. Strongly recommended, especially for parties. ~ Rick Anderson, All Music Guide
Bio / Background
00Soul is "Funk"?
Sure. Whatever works for you.
But "Funk" is an understatement. This is nasty s**t straight from the heart of Long Beach, CA. With sold out shows every week and thousands of fans, the word "understatement" is completely appropriate when describing the effect 00Soul has on the indie-music scene. They are a standout in a sea of Pop, Rock and Alternative Acts. They define "cool" in an already cool local music scene that brought you Snoop Dogg and Sublime. With a notorious reputation for the seedy side of life, it's no wonder the Long Beach music scene has embraced this band and made their song "Squad Car" the favorite at packed concerts.
"Squad Car" breaks into the rhythm of cars, crime and sex with the first downbeat. The song has all the traces of a 70's Cop Show TV theme, but only if it were on HBO. It's not explicit in it's language since it's an instrumental piece. But one gets the feeling that there is a seedy, almost primal nature to this song.
