SOLID BRONZE – SOLID BRONZE VS. LEE “SCRATCH” PERRY

Delaware Valley’s psychedelic funkateers Solid Bronze are releasing their debut album The Fruit Basket Summer of 2019. The first single “The Invisible Man” is being released as a limited edition 7″ vinyl including a Lee “Scratch” Perry remix before the album drops. The album was recorded at a relaxed pace by Mickey Melchiondo (Ween, Dean Ween Group, Moistboyz) at his studio in Lambertville, NJ with additional tracking done by the core band members in their respective home studios. Dean Ween produced the record along with singer/songwriter Chris Harford and it was mastered by Tom Ruff (James Brown, Lester Young, Screaming Females) for Asbury Media in Asbury Park, NJ. Solid Bronze’s founding members are Ian Everett and George Miller, who composed these songs as bass and drums duo, using naked rhythm as the focus and cornerstone in the recording process. Miller provided all the drums and percussion and Everett was responsible for bass, guitar and lead vocals. “The Invisible Man” single features Music Hall of Fame guitarist Michael “Kidd Funkadelic” Hampton (Parliament, Funkadelic), and Atlanta-based hip hop artist CLEW on vocals. Lee “Scratch” Perry: “I was having great fun in Negril (Jamaica) working on the Solid Bronze remix. Funk meets Dub. Funky Funk to skunky Dub that’s what’s up! I only Dub righteousness and Dub Godlyness and I Dub righteous people. Have fun and play this dubby music until you heal from your pain and regain your brain and feel Happy Happy in Jesus name!”
