Kung Fu to Release Studio Debut

Jazz-fusion supergroup Kung Fu will celebrate the release of their self-titled debut album tomorrow night at Daniel Street Club in Milford, Connecticut. Kung Fu is made up of Todd Stoops (RAQ) on keyboards, Tim Palmieri (The Breakfast) on guitar, Rob Somerville (Deep Banana Blackout) on saxophone, David Livolsi (Jazz is Dead) on bass, and Adrian Tramontano (The Breakfast) on drums. The band also just announced that they will be opening for Umphrey’s McGee at The Dome at Oakdale Theater in Wallingford, Connecticut on Thursday, July 14.

“This music is funky, mature and powerful. It’s lethal funk,” Palmieri says. “It’s music smart and strong enough to defend one’s self, or art’s self. I love this music.”

The album was recorded in Milford, Connecticut by Breakfast taper Matt Vallo and was mastered by Tim Walsh. Tickets for the CD release party cost $12 in advance and $15 at the door, and the show will start at 9 P.M.
