THIS WEEKS SHOWS :

Thursday January 5th Afrolicious @ Elbo Room w- DJ Pleasuremaker and guest Tom Thump.


Big love to you on this new year, new day and new era. Allthough our government wants to be able to indefinitely detain us we know that the people's spirit is strong and we will push on and continue to fight the good fight! 2011 was a year of pushing thru some tough times as the world made many changes. We always kept the music and good vibes flowing and we look forward to continuing that path in this here new year!  Thank you so much to all who came out to Elbo Room last Thursday night for what was a bangin' way to end a bangin' year. Thank you guys for all of your support thru the years!!!

This Thursday we kick off the new year with Afrolicious back at the Elbo Room featuring resident DJ Pleasuremaker and guest DJ Tom Thump. Tom Thump has reached legendary status in the SF music scene for his ecclectic style, his amazing skills, and his continued success across 25 plus years DJing in this sometimes difficult or fickle city, musically speaking. The resident percussionist will be on hand as usual.

Saturday night you can find the Afrolicious sound returning to Public Works to play on that legendary Function One soundsytem of theirs. We always have a great time at Public Works and would be great to kick off the New Year in serious style at Public Works, for those who are unable to make it Thursday night.

Also next week the Afrolicious band gets the year started. Sunday night the band plays a private holiday party in the Mission. Monday January 9th Afrolicious live band and DJ Pleasuremaker will bring the heat to the Escatic Dance SF party in the East Bay. Tuesday Pleasuremaker flies to New York to support the Novalima show in NYC w- Rob Garza and Nickodemus. Tuesday Jan 11th thru Friday Jan 13th DJ Pleasuremaker will be holding it down at the world famous 9:30 Club in Washington D.C. playing sets between Thievery Corporation and Novalima. The 3 shows are all sold out, but for those in the area you can catch Pleasuremaker spinning with his main man Nappy G.on percussion (Turntables on the  @ Eighteenth Street Lounge on Friday night, January 13th for the officail Theivery Corporaton after party. Saturday Jan. 14th Pleasure returns to Nueva York to make a return appearance at the legendary Bembe Lounge in Williamsburg Brooklyn.
Sunday night, Jan 15th Afrolicious full band will be playing live at Cafe Du Nord as part of the Soul Bingo music series.

As you can tell this will be a crazy busy week for Pleasuremaker. As for Afrolicious at the Elbo Room goes, we will have a nice line up of very talented guests alongside our resident percussionists. We have the Afrolicious debut of Boca Beats, a side project of the amazing Brazilian Band Boca Do Rio. They will bring an electro-Bossa blend. Please get there early to catch there set.

FELA! Broadway cast/band at Afrolicious party!




Greetings soulful music lovers!

Last week we gave thanks to the music gods and got down like we always do, with soul, passion, energy, and life! So blessed to keep this musical path with you. We had a great time down in Los Angeles at the Mint playing with our homies Orgone. We got such a great crowd response and had a blast! Also last Saturday night we broke in Monarch, a brand new club down on 6th and Mission. They have a great sound system and a great vibe inside the club.

This week we are so fired up to bring you the cast of Fela! who will be bringing their version of Fela's classic material in a live band setting that has been winning over audiences around the world since it debuted in NYC a couple years back. This will be a legendary Afrolicious and you may want to get there early as it may be a sell out.

Friday we return to the beloved Big Apple, New York! We get down with our main man Nickodemus and DJ DRM @ the legendary Cielo club in the Meatpacking district. This is part of the Turntables on the Hudson monthly party series. Honored to make our debut at Cielo and re-unite with some of the funkiest cats in NY!. Saturday night we join our brother DJ Concerned at his weekly party in Manhattan at the Sunburnt Calf. Sunday we head down to Washington D.C. to make our third appearance at the timeless Eighteenth Street Lounge in Washington D.C.


Stay tuned for an Afrolicious set at Public Works holiday party on Saturday December 10th. Also we are thrilled to bring the Afrolicious full band to the Independent to support Sambada and their tasty blend of Afro-Brazilian, Funk, Reggae, Samba. These guys are great and we are so looking forward to an amazing show.

Also December 30th we are stoked to be a part of the Sno Globe festival out at Lake Tahoe. This festival features such acts as Bassnectar, Thievery Corporation, Pretty Lights, and Afrolicious!
