Eight Gigs: Katdelic

San Francisco weirdo-funkster RonKat Spearman has the fashion sense of what someone in the '50s might imagine people in 2015 to dress like—complete with a crazy mohawk-pompadour hybrid and a seemingly out-of-place flying-V guitar. He and his group lay down the kind of dirty grooves that P-Funk plays for 15 minutes straight, but with songwriting as experimental as Prince's less commercial records. It all makes sense; RonKat Spearman spent a solid decade playing guitar for Parliament, and now he brings his offbeat, future-funk meets psych-rock jams to stages with his own band backing him. George Clinton taught him well. Isn't funk so much better when it's outlandish and theatrical? 228 G Street in Davis, www.ronkat.net.
