Blues Bytes Review!
<p><a contents="http://www.bluenight.com/BluesBytes/wn0418.html" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="http://www.bluenight.com/BluesBytes/wn0418.html" target="_blank">http://www.bluenight.com/BluesBytes/wn0418.html</a> </p>
<p>The group Mama SpanX was assembled by singer/songwriter Nikki Armstrong, putting together some of her favorite musicians from the East and West Coast’s R&B, rock, and funk genres (the late soul-jazz guitarist Melvin Sparks gave Armstrong her distinctive moniker). Sparks would definitely be pleased with the collective’s first release, State of Groove, a ferocious nine-song set of blues, funk, and soul that pays tribute to pioneers like James Brown, Ike & Tina Turner, Sly & the Family Stone. </p>
<p>Ms. Armstrong and the band (Steve Johnson – guitars, Harlan Spector – B3, piano, Moog, Julie Sax – alto/baritone saxes, flute, Steve Sadd – tenor/soprano saxes, David Abercrombie – bass, Ben Beckley – drums, piano/musical director) rip through a strong nine song set with eight originals and one cover….well, make that a half-cover since it’s Lou Donaldson’s funky soul-jazz instrumental “Alligator Boogaloo,” supplemented by new lyrics from Armstrong. </p>
<p>The opener, “Rocket,” is a horn-driven mid-tempo funk number that is reminiscent of Tower of Power’s catalog, “Wild Emotion” sounds like a long-lost late ’60s/early ’70s R&B single, while “Crawl” mixes a little bit of the blues with greasy funk. The blues ballad “Wrong Side of the Garden” arrives mid-album and Armstrong give a fine vocal performance with subtle guitar backing from Johnson and smooth backing vocals from the band. </p>
<p>“Thinkin’” brings to mind James Brown, especially those tasty horns and Johnson’s Jimmy Nolan-esque guitar work, while “Anywhere You Are” is a lovely soulful ballad with a tender vocal from Armstrong and soft backing from Spector on piano. The irresistible title track closes the disc on a funky note with the band getting ample room to strut their stuff. </p>
<p>State of Groove will bring a smile to the faces of those music fans who dig the old school sounds of jazz, funk, and soul of the late ’60s and ’70s. There are still a few bands who play it like they used to, and Mama SpanX does it like few others do. </p>

Mama SpanX hit at Bluesnroots corner Review Netherlands Nov 17 2017
<p>The band Mama SpanX, which New York has as a base, has not existed for so long. Somewhere in 2015, Nikki Armstrong and Ben Beckley laid the foundations for the band. Their collaboration goes back to Los Angeles, where they combined songwriting and producer work together. Nikki, originally from Riverhead, Long Island, moves to Boston and then Los Angeles for her music study. In addition to her music studies, she develops her dance and acting talents. After her study she settles in New York where she forms Whole Lotta Blues, The Nikki Armstrong Project and the tribute project Just Janis. With various relics on her name Blues and Jazz, Live at BB King's, Turnin '& Burnin', New, Borrowed & Blue and her penultimate release from 2012 Now and Then it's high time to join forces again with drummer, </p>
<p>This originally jazz drummer has been behind the boilers since he was eleven, studied music at the Berklee School of Music and Manhattan School of Music and has since then been involved in countless bands in the genre rock, soul, funk, blues, country, latin and even Irish music played. In Steve Johnson, both find the ultimate guitarist. Johnson, who started playing guitar in 1963, shared the stage with Paul Butterfield, Johnny Copeland, Paul Schaeffer, Albert Collins, Little Jimmy King, Jaco Pastorious, Fernando Saunders, Leslie West, Little Mike, Hubert Sumlin, Nikki Armstrong, Popa Chubby and Michael Hill. In addition to his three self-management productions with the powerblues trio The Tanks and three albums for Virgin Records he has five albums under his own name for the French Dixiefrog label to his name. The equally experienced Julie Sax-Woodwinds and Steve Sadd are responsible for the copper work. Keyboardist Harlan Spector and bassist David Abercrombie complete the band. An ensemble that has a broad background and also propagates this in the chosen repertoire, in which rock, soul, funk and pop come together in mostly written pieces. </p>
<p>The crackling of an old gramophone record announces the first song Rocket and that's how we quickly get to know the delicious, almost raw sounding voice of Nikki Armstrong, who has a solid soulful funk performance of the song. Both Steve's let themselves be heard briefly on a solo level and it is clear, here is a close team at work. The same plan is a bit extended in Wild Emotion and the very groovy sounding Crawl . This path is abandoned in the pounding rocker Being Beautiful and then the tempo is lowered in Wrong Side Of The Garden, in which there is plenty of room for excellent bluesy guitar work from Steve Johnson, as we know him from his Dixie Frog albums. Soon the pace is restored and the band puts down a funky performance of Alligator Boogaloo . Also Thinkin ' is in this genre, but where the first tends towards blues, slide there Thinkin' more like a poppy embodiment in which solo space for Hammond Player Harlan Spector and guitarist Steve Johnson. Anywhere You Are is an absolute resting point on this album, this ballad is mainly based on the piano playing of Harlan Spector and therefore gives all the space to the great singer Nikki Armstrong. Then we have already landed again at the last track, State of Groove, the title says enough and just the deep tones from the six-string fretless bass by David Abercrombie guarantee the groove that spouts the speakers. A fine album, that has the necessary variation and makes us acquainted with a close company that knows how to connect various styles in a tasteful way.</p>

Another Lick for Mama & Crew from Midwest Records Review 11/10/17
<p> </p>
<p>MAMA SPANX//State of Groove: "One hard core genre blending blues loving babe, Ms. Spanx and her cohorts never heard of closing time as they deliver a party that just doesn't quit. All your fave blues and blues rock bases are covered here and leader Nikki Armstrong shows why she's already in the New York Blues Hall of Fame while her reputation is still spreading. A white girl that has the chops to deliver a modern show room blues/soul experience, this is how to enjoy pre-pop Tina Turner now that those days are gone for good. Killer stuff. " </p>

"Nikki, the vocalist, remembers Tina Turner's energy on stage and voice," says Marcel Leal, president of Morena FM , who received the direct material from the band. <br>In the exchange of emails, Nikki explains that she had already heard Morena FM on the internet. Even without understanding the phrase in Portuguese, he loved the musical programming ("sounds great!"). The track chosen for release on Friday, 18, was Wild Emotion. Experienced!

Mama SpanX welcomes Howard (The Doctor) Lindeman as Co-Producer!
Greetings friends/contributers to/of Mama SpanX! Well, we are a little behind our target to pre-release and release date is moved to the beginning of 2017....hoping when it is released it will help provide some levity and some SPANK with the incoming new US administration, (hee, hee!)!
But we have exciting news! Multi- award winning producer/engineer Howard Lindeman has joined the Mama SpanX team as Co-producer! We are so very thrilled to have Howie aboard and his mixes are Killin'! For those of you who contributed to our Indiegogo campaign, we will be posting pre-release tracks to you digitally, one at a time for now, then the entire album when mastered.
If you want to get on the mailing list for further updates, please do so below and we will sock it to ya!
Stay tuned for instructions on getting your GROOVE on soon! Much love, Mama X and the Spankers
