Real Don Music with Biddadat at The Firefly Lounge

TFW a hellish bout of writer's block gives way to an endearing, enduring creative endeavor: For an artist, no feeling could be more relievingor more inspiring. Real Don Music, the ongoing experiment of inveterate weirdo and serial bandleader Kirk Huffman, emerged from struggle and stasis, a time when Huffman was between bands, between jobs and at a pivotal point in his personal life. When the world offered nothing but dullness and darkness, Huffman found gold within himself.

Calling upon his copious experiences and influences, he channeled his affinity for dusty MoJazz-era soul, European acid jazz and smokey 90's trip-hop into a timeless sound that surprised even him. He found his sense of humor, too, naming this new project after the genius singer-songwriter of Sesame Street, the eternally frustrated, occasionally masochistic Muppet known as Don Music. Since that harrowing summer of 2013, Real Don Music has become one of Seattle's most unique and enigmatic acts.

Three happy-go-lucky boys, poking around on controllers, picking on strings, banging on drums: sounds like a little Biddadat. They are Seattle's essence of neo-funk, combining the nostalgia of funk and blues with contemporary rock and electronica. If their silly attitudes don't make you comfortable enough to shake it on that floor, the tunes will certainly fuel those moves.
