Mutiny

George Clinton’s funk empire had not been without its disagreements more than cash and control, and drummer Jerome “Bigfoot” Brailey’s Mutiny task was the result of just this type of disagreement, in addition to one of the most notable offshoots from the P-Funk axis. Brailey got arrived at P-Funk from gigs using the Five Stairsteps as well as the Chambers Brothers, taking part 1975 and playing on traditional albums like Mothership Connection and something Country Under a Groove. In 1977, he and guitarist Glen Goins abruptly remaining P-Funk following a dispute over cash; Goins re-formed his prior group, Quazar, and asked Brailey to greatly help out. However, Goins passed on as the group was documenting its debut record, and after it had been finished and released in 1978, Brailey focused by himself group, Mutiny. Besides Brailey on drums and, generally, business lead vocals, Mutiny also highlighted guitarists Lenny Holmes and Skitch Lovett, bassist Raymond “Bro” Carter, keyboardist Nat Lee, onetime P-Funk saxophonist Darryl Dixon, and hornmen Melvin Un and Marvin Daniels (tries to lure various other P-Funk sidemen, specifically Bernie Worrell, had been unsuccessful). Mutiny’s debut record, Mutiny over the Mamaship, premiered by CBS in 1979 and highlighted several directed satires of Clinton, even while the music mainly replicated his design (though it do so quite successfully). Following a bit of workers turnover, Funk In addition to the One implemented in 1980, but didn’t provide a industrial discovery, and Mutiny discovered itself with out a contract shortly after. Brailey produced his very own J. Romeo imprint and documented a mainly instrumental album, Dark Hat Daddy & the Sterling silver Comb Gang, but scrapped it and only A PARTICULAR DATE With the Children, another mainly instrumental work released in 1983. Brailey eventually became a program drummer, dealing with famous brands Keith Richards, Pal Mls, Herbie Hancock, and Buckethead. He transferred back to Richmond, VA, in 1990, and in 1993, he briefly rejoined Clinton’s P-Funk All-Stars for the tour. Brailey following formed a fresh edition of Mutiny and released the comeback record Aftershock 2005 in 1995 (the U.S. discharge was on Rykodisc). In 1999, Brailey finally released the Dark Hat Daddy record by himself Rome Pet label.
