The Jive Turkeys - Get Down Santa
(7"/Free Download) Colemine Records CLMN 109, 2010-12-06

In order to get everyone in the right frame of mind for the holiday season, The Jive Turkeys have dropped a new funky Christmas 45! It's possibly the best two cuts the Jive Turkeys have cut to date. The A-side, Get Down Santa quotes several holiday favorites before settling into some nasty funk while the flip side, Funky Jesus is a mid-tempo soul number that finishes with an insane gospel shout that will get any sinner right with God! Links are included, read the full article to get the MP3s of both tracks. As usual, the pressing is limited to 500 copies and the first 50 will get limited edition custom sleeves as well. Enjoy the music and feel free to spread the word!

The Jive Turkeys - Bread & Butter
(CD) Colemine Records CLMN 12003, 2010-03-30

The Jive Turkeys are made up of four musicians who have been playing together for the better part of the last five years in a hip-hop group called Soundscape. Soundscape is a group based in Oxford, OH, home of Miami University. This is where Matt Amburgy (organ), Terry Cole (bass), Andrew DeRoberts (guitar), and Rob Houk (drums) first met. And while Soundscape has always provided all of them the opportunity to grow and develop as musicians through the group’s unique fusion of genres (hip-hop, funk, jazz, rock), The Jive Turkeys is a group that is much more narrow in its focus. The formation of The Jive Turkeys came about when the four decided they wanted to record some stripped-down, raw funk. So, they borrowed an organ, a Leslie, some old amps, all got together in a tiny little room and started cranking out tracks. The full-length debut from the kings of midwest instrumental funk is called Bread & Butter - an appropriate title considering the album is nothing but funky, soulful instrumental goodness from start to finish.
