Music Menu Bootsy Collins at Neighborhood Theatre tonight (6/18/2012)

BOOTSY COLLINS Rightly revered and ridiculously entertaining, the Bootzilla stompin' one-man Funk ‘n' Roll Hall of Fame spreads the gospel of Universal Groove. The godfather of grimy, in-your-face slap bass, Bootsy Collins honed his chops with James Brown and held down the bottom for George Clinton's legendary P-Funk Mothership. In the process, Bootsy revolutionized the approach to bass guitar and spawned a teeming brood of imitators. With star-studded bass, glam-damaged get-up and more cosmic titles than the Holy Roman Emperor, Bootsy continues to astound with his idiosyncratic soul, bizarre humor and outrageous lyrics. So why is his sole Grammy for an appearance in a Fatboy Slim video? With Nu-funk acolytes Yo Mama's Big Fat Booty Band. $26-$35. Neighborhood Theatre.
