Most of us were not born in Africa, but Africa was born in us.
If they think I'm going to change or compromise my attitude and my way of thinking, my way of life or my expression or my goal, what's politics?
They're making me stronger.
And I'm much more stronger now.
I'm going to play with it.
Spend time hating it, but that ain't changing it.
God give it to me.
Nobody is taking it therefore.

I did I am a Los Angeles child All the way Born at UCLA Hospital Raised in Santa Monica Yep And it's a great town It's rich It's rich in culture and music And we're quite fortunate Especially because Being in the music game For probably 20 years Since I was 10, of course 20 years I have I've really Gained a huge family here Of artists and musicians It's incredible I mean, there's a rich bounty Of musicians here Yeah, for sure It just goes on and on And we're all playing In each other's bands, so Yeah, I noticed that That's what I kind of dig about That scene with like Soul funk It's kind of a little bit incestuous Mm-hmm And And I think that's a good thing Definitely multi-ethnic Multicultural Mm-hmm And it doesn't necessarily matter If somebody is born and raised In Van Nuys Or Inglewood Or the Palisades Yep, yep Well, you were just talking about that And this show being Rooted in that That philosophy Or in that theory of You know East side, west side No hole Downtown Echo Park It doesn't matter I mean, we all love music And we all need to come together For the cause of music And Yeah, I mean It's a good thing And I think that's a good thing And I think that's a good thing And I think that's a good thing And I think that's a good thing Music, food, buildings Culture I think every neighborhood Has got something to offer Yeah In L.A., absolutely Did you grow up in a musical home?
No, my mom didn't really listen To music that much I was just kind of sprung out On the things that came out In the mid to late 70s Like the Michael Jackson And you know That whole era of music Really hooked me And then she married a dude When I was like 11 Who had just tons and tons of records Oh, yeah And he brought in like Blood, sweat, and tears And he brought in like Janis Joplin, The Beatles Jimi Hendrix Things that I didn't really Listen to before So it's kind of broadened My horizons a little bit It's kind of nice That's awesome, man And somebody told me once Our mutual friend Gino Garofalo That you frequently will write Your own music and lyrics With a bass guitar accompaniment That you play Is that correct?
Yeah, yeah, yeah I got a bass a long time ago And I actually took some lessons From a good friend of mine Lonnie Martin Marshall When I was very young He's in a band called Weapon of Choice Yeah, yeah Yeah, he's the most amazing Bass player that you'll ever meet Lonnie Marshall And his brother Arik Marshall Is a great guitar player And I took some lessons from him And yeah, I've been playing Bass for a long time I kind of get in that place Where I feel like It needs to happen on stage now And I need to be actually One of the musicians on the stage What bass do you play?
I have a Fender Squier Precision bass Yeah, it's like an old 19 I think it's an 88 It's right before They stopped making them In Japan So I have still one of the ones That was made in Japan Yeah, I got I have a Fender Bullet bass body Bullet basses They don't make those anymore It's like from 69 I think Oh wow And back when I was young And a little more rowdy I smashed it on the stage I thought it was Pete Townsend or something Very good for you And then didn't have A replacement Because you were not Pete Townsend Correct Nobody was sending you Another one But a P bass neck Fits on there There's a weird gap In the back But it actually works But it makes it A little more Neck heavy Uh huh And so Which is cool Because if I feel like Jumping around and being an idiot All the controls In my left hand Like it just kind of Is really comfortable And it worked out really nicely Oh, that's cool So you play bass That's nice Yeah That's awesome Yeah, yeah I got my fingers In all kinds of pies Good for you Stick your fingers In the pies So You started Not started out But you were with the band Daka Daka Yeah, yeah, yeah Yeah, I mean Tell me a little bit About that Well, back in Back when the Temple Bar Opened probably in 1998 Or 99 And I was playing In a ton of bands Over there Sola John Black Um I'm saying a ton And now I'm like I came up with one Wow Um So anyway though Daka was at the time A 30 piece band Led by Double G And another guy Named Dan Osterman A 30 piece band 30 piece Okay And then they decided We need to add strings We need to add All these extra things And it became a 70 piece I performed with them Up to 100 members at times We played at the Disney Center Downtown The Philharmonic Disney Center Um Concert hall With like probably About 100 people So yeah That thing grew You know It just grew and grew and grew And it was It was one of those places Where Although I had already Known a ton of people Musically It extended my family By 100 people Probably You know what I mean I uh I checked out your album A little while ago I downloaded it And uh Thanks From your uh Uh From your website That I'm looking for right now And um Oh here it is Fannyfranklin.com Wow Yeah it's really complicated Um And uh I was really impressed man Uh But you know what Who Can you tell me a little bit About uh Your band Did you write Did you collaborate a bit Or was that like 100% you Is it 86% you What's going on there Um It is A collaborative affair Um I think Anytime you walk Into the room With musicians And you're not saying Play A Play B Play this Play that It's a collaborative Affair I would Who'd you play with Uh I had I would basically Come up with the Bassline And the vocal idea And then I would Bring that in To Tim Glum Who is the original

I've been playing With for years On Keys And then I had Jason Gutierrez Oh yeah yeah On guitar And I had my buddy Sean O'Shea Who's the original For sure Drummer from Orgone Yeah On the drums So I bring an idea in We would You got heavyweights Yeah They're great players And friends And decent Kind human beings With great energy Which is what you Want to have When you're recording And they were excited About the process But I basically Bring an idea in We would Go over it And about three hours Later we'd have A done track And we'd record it On Jason's analog Tape machine And then we'd do

The Cali Love record.

That was out on Ubiquity Records.
It was out on Ubiquity Records.

Orgone Space.

Really?
Yeah.
And you can get the new CD, which is pretty cool, called The New You Part 1, which I'm on one of those tracks.
Yeah.
Hey, Nick, man.
Could you turn the bed music down?
Just that hair.
Thank you so much.
I want to listen to Fanny here.
Part of that, we heard Sean Lee featuring Miss Fanny Franklin.
Too Tired to Sleep was the name of the tune from the Soul in the Hole record, also out on Ubiquity.
Great record entirely.
Who else is on that record?
Durando's on that record.
We were just talking about him.
Nicole Willis is on that record.
She also did a record with the Soul Investigators out of Finland.
Mm-hmm.
Mm-hmm.
Mm-hmm.
Mm-hmm.
It's pretty awesome.
Yeah.
What's up with that whole Northern Europe soul music?
I don't know.
Yeah.
Quadrant.
Yeah.
I don't, right?
I don't, they're bad.
They're bad at it.
I'm bad, meaning good.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Like, I really appreciate the, and the voices.
I mean, geez, Coco from Quadrant has, like, such a soulful voice.
Mm-hmm.
It's crazy.
And white as can be.
Just goes to show you.
Yeah.
Color don't make you.
Don't make you soulful, people.
Soul give you the soulful.
Little love puts a soul in your heart.
Soul in your heart.
They're just eating their herring, and.
That's right.
Eating that herring and all them other things that I would never even consider eating that are delicious to, you know, that's, that's another thing that makes the world go round, man.
Just the differences, and yeah.
We started off the set with, yes, you do, Fanny Franklin's solo record, Get Wet is the name of the album, and you can find that at fannyfranklin.com.
Yes.
Spelled like it sounds.
Spelled like it sounds.
And it means, it means what it, what it says.
Yeah.
That's self-release, right?
Yeah.
Put your feet in the water.
Don't be afraid to, to, to go for the things that you want to do in this life.
I think you also did the album art.
I did all the album art.
I'm an artiste.
I love making clothes.
I love doing art.
Uh-huh.
I just, and I like to represent myself as an artist wholly, not just in one facet.
Yeah, I agree.
I agree with that.
Like, um, it, um, I mean, you could concentrate on one thing, of course, but I mean, you're either an artist or you aren't.
You're right.
And, uh, you're going to think creatively.
Right.
And, uh, other facets.
Uh, as far as, uh, so you, um, apparel design, though, I mean, I didn't even know about that.
Like.
Oh, yeah.
Well, I made some clothes, like the show that you were at my show, my last show in Venice, uh, that had the speakeasy.
I, um, made the outfit that I was wearing that night.
You were in like a, I do remember the pants.
They were kind of like a zipper, sort of short.
It was a jumpsuit.
Uh-huh.
Of, it looked like made right out of the video show Tron.
Yes.
Yes, indeed.
So.
I, I like making clothes.
I like to represent.
I just think that we are all, we are all artists, truly.
And we all have some sort of form of expression, a way that we can share.
And it's, it's video, it's, uh, it's audio.
Mm-hmm.
It's tactile.
It's, it's every way you can make it.
You were talking a little bit about, uh, your backup players on, on the Get White record.
Yeah.
And you mentioned our mutual friend, Gino Garofalo.
Yes.
Can I, give me an embarrassing story about our friend.
Oh, God.
You, you, you guys are play-lifes.
You've been on a lot of shows on the road together.
Jesus.
I mean, it, I don't, I don't think there's as much time that is necessary.
Give me one.
I'll give you one.
Well, oh, geez.
All right.
Let's see.
How do I, how do I say something embarrassing about Gino without being cruel?
Gino, Gino's running thing every day.
Here's what it was.
Here's what it was.
We'd be going to the next destination and every day we're struggling trying to find something to eat on the road because you're subjected to whatever's available.
It's not like you can go, I want to have, I want to have, I want to have, I want to have, I want to have, I want to have, I want to have, I want to have, I want to have, I want to have, I want to have, I want to have, I want to have, I want to have, I want to have, I want to have, a steak from, you know, Whole Foods.
There's no Whole Foods.
So we'd be rolling by a Taco Bell and Gino would go in there and have Taco Bell for his early lunch.
Yeah.
And inevitably every single day, about two hours later, oh, oh, oh, that Taco Bell got me, man.
I'm just shredded right now.
Yeah.
That was a literally daily thing with him.
And it was so in the, in the band, it was like everybody would basically complain for him.
They'd be like, oh, my stomach hurts.
And it's too hot in here.
And that, those are the two things that Gino would say every single day.
It's too hot in the van and my stomach, it got me.
Yeah.
But, you know.
Hey, check this out.
You know, the thing about, um, when we talk about Jimi Hendrix, like what the, the, what usually comes up is like his guitar playing.
That's what everybody thinks about his guitar playing.
You know what I really like about Jimi Hendrix is, um, his vocals a lot, right?
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, just such a oaky hollow kind of untrained rough voice.
I don't know.
It just really communicated a lot.
Yeah.
Aside from the actual words he was communicating, just the soul and the sentiment.
Yeah, the honesty.
Mr. Gino Garofalo is widely known as a bass player and everyone talks about his bass playing man.
I love the way that dude sings.
Oh, man.
His voice is.
What comes out of his voice.
Malicious.
When he's on the mic is nothing like what you might expect if you just went out to dinner with the guy or something.
Yeah, maybe, maybe.
I think, I think that you would expect that soul though.
You, knowing Gino and even talking to him for five minutes, you're going to get an amazing story.
And you're going to get a clear picture of a soulful human being.
Like he, and a pure, just like, this is just me.
Yeah.
You know, and that's what I love about Jimi Hendrix too.
He's just being himself.
That's all he was doing.
He was just being himself far as I could tell.
I don't think that anybody that's an artist can attract that many people if they're not being themselves.
If you're not authentic, people are going to read that on you.
Yeah.
And it's not like we're all psychics.
We just have that innate ability to smell the real.
Or the fake.
And that's why people love Jimi because he was just doing him and Gino is always just purely Gino.
That's true.
Fanny's always purely Fanny.
You know, I don't really hold a lot back.
I wear my heart on my, on my shirt sleeve, you know, so I respect that.
And that's, that's, that's true artist.
Yeah.
Gino is bad.
And, and, and if anybody has a chance to check out any of the shows that we're doing together, where he's going to be playing bass and I'll be vocalizing with Orgone and we've got a few tours coming up.
We've got a show coming up in August, which you'll probably mention.
Yeah.
So come on.
Friday, August 2nd at the Echo Plus.
With Blackalicious.
Oh, no shit.
Yeah.
I didn't know about that.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Which I've been hearing a lot about them and shamefully don't really think I've heard enough of them, but I've been hearing about them for years.
So yeah.
So come out to that show and you'll get a chance to listen to Gino.
He's on a track on the Orgone CD called Bacano, which is called Come Around that he wrote.
It's an awesome song.
You can check it out on, on YouTube or on iTunes.
I'm sure you can sample it.
Come Around by Orgone on the record Bacano.
Check it out.
It's Gino singing.
Sure.
Hey, I wanted to ask you really quick, we're going to go back into some music in just like literally one minute.
Who should we be on the lookout for as far as new soul, funk, reggae?
We just had a little run with Ruby Vell and the Soul Phonics.
I thought they were awesome.
And then this other band out of New York that really blew me away.
London Souls.
London Souls out of New York.
Whoa.
Three cats.
They kind of had a little bit of a Led Zeppelin, but with funk.
Like everybody sang, the drummer sang, the guitar player sang, and it was just three.
It was like the Black Keys, but like their thing.
And it was sick.
London Souls out of New York.
Awesome.
Yeah.
And Ruby Vell and the Soul Phonics too.
Soul Phonics.
Good, good name.
Everybody phonicking out these days.
Or liciousing.
And I ain't mad at them.
Fanny licious phonic.
I'm not mad at them.
I'm just a fan.
I'm just a fan.
I'm a fan.
Franklin.
You heard her here, folks.
Hey, you want to hear a little bit more tunes?
Love to.
Lay it on me, brother.
Sit back, have some more jelly bellies.
Okay, thanks.
Put your feet up.
Rest in peace, Bobby Bluebland.
We lost him last week, dotted 83.
Memphis legend.
I'm going to play you a tune called I Pity.
Yeah, good run.
He didn't waste his life, right?
I Pity the Fool is the name of the song I'm going to play for you.
1961 song, I believe.
Right after that, I'm going to play you a song called I Pity the Fool.
I'm going to play Alice Smith with the one from her newest record, She, 2013.
I'm looking forward to that.
Yeah, this is my favorite tune from the whole record.
It's got a Carole King sort of vibe, if I may make that bold claim.
There you go.
That's on Rainwater, Thirsty Tigers, excuse me, 30 Tigers records.
I'm going to wrap it up with another little surprise song.
We'll see if you like it.
Yeah.
Surprise.
I'm sitting here with Fanny Franklin.
If you want to find out more about her music or her vibe or her cover art or what have you, you can check her out at fannyfranklin.com.
Her other band, Orgone, you can find them at orgonespace.com.
Thank you, loved ones.
I pity the fool.
I said I pity the fool.
Well, I pity the fool.
Yeah.
I said I pity the fool.
