“Patience. Shoe come.” This is an entirely reasonable response to any query directed towards the Chinese factory you outsourced the construction of your custom Adidas JS Wings 2.0 shoes to. These are the hoops you have to jump through if you want a cost-effective way to equip your seven piece neo-trashfunk collective in Mercury inspired gaudy gold shoes. This is the strange realm of Planet Booty where the price of extravagance is absurdity.
The Oakland septet is festooned in the wonders of psychedelic funk. Soft spoken erotic interludes, P-Funk bass and guitar and the ever-underrated vocal talkbox play prominently in this sparkling pastiche. Nevertheless, the outlandish pinache of funk is underwritten by a delightful embrace of all things trashy, from handlebar moustaches to, well, vocal talkbox.
More amazing than this gaggle of white guys grooving like its 1979 is the fact that this is the digital age. The ease of video production is at an all time high. Thus, the internet is well within Planet Booty’s gravitational pull. Hardcore fans and neophytes alike are welcome to bask in the gauche wonder that is their video catalogue.
Extremely compelling sexy time Risky Business cutaways in “Treat My Body Right” and forbidden supermarket pleasures in “Juice” make spectating Planet Booty feel strange and dirty and also entirely magnetic—like watching a truck full of hookers and fluffy boas plow into a glitter factory as Bootsie Collins plugs his bass directly into your face.
Last Thursday the septet appeared as a duo (or a trio if you count the dancer who contributed nothing to the music except her methodical gyrations) at Los Angeles’ Bootleg Theater. Despite a lack of band members and sparse audience, Planet Booty worked the room like a mechanical bull, leaving spunky funk in globs and making those of us in attendance wonder if the Bootleg had just transformed from a performance space into a plywood glory hole.
Planet Booty’s 4 track Success EP bears wonderful witness to the ridiculously odyssey of a band that transcends novelty with sheer pelvic thrusting force.

It is blind to class, affiliation, ethnicity, gender, appearance and sexual orientation. Booty does not grade on a curve because your curves are perfect.”
