Afroskull is greasy persuasion and bad gris-gris. A New York City funk/rock collective by way of New Orleans, the ‘Skull is a sonic gumbo that is one part Funkadelic and one part Black Sabbath with generous helpings of Zappaesque runs and jazzoid horns. The interplay of their heady musicianship, simmering hyper kinetics and fat bottomed grooves helps to keep les bon temps rouler all night long.

This is the infamous AfroSabbath show, recorded live at the Mermaid Lounge in New Orleans in 2001. This somewhat official bootleg recording was released by Secret Ninja Records in 2005 but has long been out of print. I was lucky enough to receive this from a friend a few years back. Check it out!
