Was (Not Was) are another of my favorite groups. Formed by some musicians from the Punk Rock and Garage Rock eras of Detroit Music. They make great music with tongues firmly planted in cheek. You wouldn't place them in an R & B/Funk band from their history but man they are great at what they do.
They run a great studio in Detroit that I was lucky enough to mix the debut album from my band Psychosis at. It had an automated board which at the time was a little rare and expensive. We recorded the thing at Grand Funk Railroad's old studio The Swamp. The mixing board was manual so we opted to go elsewhere to mix. Originally we went to a different studio to mix (which still receives no credit from us!). The engineer was great but his boss bounced us after we were there 3 days. We took him with us. We had to move so Ted Nugent could mix "Fred Bear".
So we end up at Was (Not Was)'s studio. When we had worked there a day our engineer said that Ted wanted to move to where we were again. The studio had all it's rooms booked including Bob Seger working on some demos. Our engineer says studio management told Ted they were fully booked. We know it wasn't because we were there and they liked us. They had some big names in the Michigan scene there...to bump us would not look good even though we were unkown, but hey it's a good story right?
Not sure but I most likely downloaded this from either Voodoo Wagon or Floppy Boot Stomp...both awesome sites you should visit.
