Sky Bop Fly

by StLouisPianist Dave Becherer - Wedding Music, Cocktails and Events

Sky Bop Fly was a group out of St. Louis in the early 90's. We did very well in the St. Louis scene. We played to large enthusiastic audiences in sold out venues. We won several categories in the RFT our first year, including Best Funk Band in St Louis and Best Band to Dance to. From their writeup:

"
The key to the funk is in the rhythm -- in the bass and in the drums -- and in its ability to magically get the juices in your booty flowing. Without that rhythm -- not necessarily slow, not necessarily quick -- the funk drops dead on arrival and the crowd wanders to the nearest dance club. Sky Bop Fly are masters of the rhythm, managing to stretch the sound without resorting to the dangerous and increasingly tired funk/punk amalgam. In fact, the top three in this category all stay away from the loud-guitar end of the evolved genre, preferring instead to concentrate on the groove"
