Get Funky

Soundcheck | May 3, 2010
The Billy Nayer Show is a rock band that found success by starring in a sci-fi film entitled "The American Astronaut," which debuted at the Sundance Film Festival in 2001. The Village Voice likens Billy Nayer Show's performances and music to "co-productions of Kurt Weill and Neil Young." Today, lead singer Corey McAbee discusses how cult cinema brought underground stardom to the band. He'll also discuss his latest record, Rabbit. Also joining us is New York's Latin-funk collective Yerba Buena, who will bring their Afro-Cuban, gyspy and cumbia influenced sound into our studios for a live performance that will make your body want to get up and swing.
