Blu Eye Extinction is a NYC-based funk fusion band currently on tour with George Clinton and Parliament Funkadelic. The brainchild of Isotopia Records' Constance Hauman who brings an unlikely combination of opera, jazz and funk to her keyboards and vocals, is only possible with the funk foundation and masterful grooves of the electric bass of James Jones. His unique style also encompasses his vocals, supporting Henry Ott's rock guitars and Frank Zappa sensibility. If that isn't enough, you add front man and emcee TJ Robinson on trombone, percussion and rap vocals, supported by JS Williams's rich trumpet w/ R&B vocals, and last but so not the least, Joshua Keitt's metal-rock funk drums, it is no wonder that audience's minds have been blown on the 50 UK and US shows since their debut at New Orleans Jazzfest April 29, 2022.
Hailing their funky theatricality, catchy choruses, bad-ass performance energy and profound musicianship as 'The New P-Funk, to new 'hip-hopera', to new-funk rock jazz, to what is 'on fire' in new music today, their 8-track album, Blu Eye Extinction was produced by Constance Hauman & James Jones, featuring compositions and arrangements from every band member.
The digital cover and art for the vinyl release was painted by up-and-coming L.A artist and designer KG Marquel.
The album was recorded at Dreamland Studios in Hurley NY and Echo Mountain Studios in Asheville, NC.
