How do you feel about super-funk? What about big-band instrumental jams peppered with Sly and the Family Stone-esque vocals and groove? Do you like the background music from the ’70s TV series Shaft?

If you answered yes to any of the above questions, watch this video and get your bellbottoms down to McMenamins tonight for San Francisco’s psychedelic soul funk combo band, Monophonics.

Psychedelia Thursday commences at McMenamins Old St. Francis School in the Father Luke Room, tonight, 7pm.

It’s free, so what’s your excuse for missing out?
