[DANCE FUNK] Calling Brooklyn-based band Superhuman Happiness “dance funk” is like calling pho soup. It’s much more than that. Incorporating house vibes, Afrobeat influences, and synthpop melodies, the band reconciles new wave aesthetics with funk grooves, even mixing in a dash of psychfolk. That might sound like a lot to swallow, but when put into practice, their sound—which the collective has been meticulously honing since their formation in 2008—actually seems effortless and natural, and while their name might seem overzealous, their live delivery is on target. Check them out at Nietzsche’s this Friday, April 17 with support from Erica Wolfling and the Houston Gardwell Collective. Two-for-one admission with a Modest Mouse ticket stub.
