How U Luv Scarface with a Live Band for the Tsunami Relief Effort?

On a semi-cold night in a very cold city, at a club called Numbers in a neighborhood called the Montrose, a small group of compassionate souls gathered to give of their wealth (Ten bucks at the door, not so bad) and time and art and effort to the most noble of causes in January 2005. Another Tsunami Relief Effort event has come and gone in our fair city, and by the looks of the turnouts at the couple I attended myself, Houston just doesn’t give a fuck about what happens anyplace else.

But tonight, those who did, were in for some shit.



Scarface was in the house with a FULL Live band rocking the fuck out of an incredibly enthusiastic crowd of about 200 people.







Flanked b 3 back up singers – Kai “Big Mama Soul,” Joe Deeze and Tonya Dean, Corey Stoot on Guitar, Marq Moody and Mike Dean on Keys, Anthony Nicholson on bass, Savar Martin on drums, Ralph Gill on trombone, Tim Glaze on trumpet and Melvin Dismuke, who handles all of the arrangements and plays trumpet live, Face has found his true calling.





The Geto Boys always were one of the best live acts in hip-hop. Their early shows were always no frills, but the raw energy and odd choreography always kept them ahead of the game. Seriously, the Geto Boys always had a great show.





And Face always has too. Over the years I’ve seen him in a gang of different settings and everytime, he always comes out and you can tell that he planned his show. That he made a real performance out of his show. He didn’t just come out and swagger around, he and DJ Domo worked out serious sets, with little routines thrown in here and there. He was always very close to his audience, very direct, fucking intense.







He ripped through classics like “Sunshine,” “Mary Jane,” “Mind Playin’ Tricks” – during which he got down on his knees to rap Bushwicks part, “Seen A Man Cry,” “My Block,” man dude went through a gang of shit in a clean 40 minutes. It’s 2:00 am, I’m faded and shouldn’t even be writing this. I’ll try again tomorrow. For now peep the million blurry photos I took. New camera coming soon….






gifts from the masses


what that do?


scarface, guy schwartz taping, and a cop who came to the stage just after face received his gift above

Shit I almost forgot. At the end of the show, for a grand finale of sorts, Scarface jumped on the bass...


He jumped on the guitar (playing both upside down ala Hendrix)


He jumped on the keys... And he jumped on the drums.


I couldn't get a good shot of him on the drums since he was so far back on the stage. The photo looked worse than this next one of the horn players. But I had to include SOMETHING on them horn player cuz they killed it. You never thought you'd see Face rock to a funky trombone did you?






Corey Stoot, Scarface and the one and only Mike Dean

Oh yeah, Face called his band The Formaldehyde Funk Something or other.....

Y'all missed out. But don't miss him at SXSW this year. Both he and his manager say they want to do it and we currently have a live show in the works with Bavu Blakes, Money Waters, Zin and Mojoe, all down south rap acts who perform with live bands. It's going to be quite a festival this year. Get your badges here or miss the whole TEXAS in one place at one time. Seriously don't dismiss South By Southwest, happening in Ausitn, TX 16 - 20 March as merely a rock fest, we got some of hip hops finest coming thru. Full list available here later this week. PEACE

Thank you, thank you, thank you for that amazing review. You have any idea is Face plans on touring at all? I wouldn't've thought so but it's a hell of a thing to work up a live band show like this for just one appearance.

He'll be at South By Southwest this year and hopefully some sort of agent or someone will inspire his ass to hit the road and tour the world. The band really is off the chain. I'll post a lil more in a second.... PEACE matt
