Extra! Extra!
Oxford Town Dec. 2011
To truly understand the futuristic genius that is Captain Midnight Band, you have to see them live...If you weren't there, you missed the over-the-top showmanship, the comic book costumes, some racy humor and one hell of a good time. - Kate Anthony
Macon.com May 2011
If your logo looks like Han Solo made it and your bio uses the phrase “Water Bed Rock & Roll for the mind, booty and soul,” then you’ve got my attention and should have everyone else’s. This humor-happy band of the epic erotic jam started in New Orleans, which explains their adolescent funkiness. Despite -- or perhaps because of -- their polyamorous affair with genre, Captain Midnight’s one constant is their connection to the audience. In other words, they like to party and hope you do too..
Nashville Scene March 2011
Part jam band, part American rock band in the Bob Seger and Tom Petty
tradition, the band definitely induced some — to fish out a 1990 phrase —
bouncing around the room.
Jungle Room.Com Feb. 2011
While they were backed by a rhythm section that couldn't have been any tighter, the Captain and keyboardist/vocalist Lil' Rae Rae
filled the room with guitar driven Frank Zappa-ish sound playing their
songs "Instant Buzz' and "Jug of Wine" while channeling a retro Prince Mongo-type party vibe.
...trying to keep the world safe for goofy,
irreverent, funky rock-and-roll. - Jordan
we were blown away by both their energy and humor. Some songs make you
want to get up and dance, while others are rock that you must sit back
and simply absorb.
In
contrast to their predecessors of the weekend, The Captain Midnight Band offered up an entirely different
musical
experience than any previous performers.
Costumes adorned both the stage and the crowd. as far as
the
eye could see. Although strange, the
whimsical air established by the group endured for the rest of the festival. - DeGaetano
The Citizen-TImes Asheville 2010
"...there's a time and place to call attention to yourself, and that time and place is onstage" - Murphy
The Oxford Enterprise Double Decker Artist Spotlight 2010
"... the butt-wiggling beats of P-Funk, the smooth vocal stylings of Steely Dan, the ribald antics of KISS
into an infectious, hormone-soaked subgenre that the Captain has aptly termed “waterbed rock-and-roll." - R. Hynum
Free Times: Sound Bites - Columbia, SC July 2010
The term “Southern-fried” takes on new meaning with the music of this
outlandish band. Part funk, part classic rock and part comic-book
costumes, it adds up to all spectacle. On its own songs, such as the lasciviously humorous “Position
Impossible,” the band pairs glam-rock excess with leering lyrical
humor. K. Oliver
The Clarion Ledger
Sort of a Southern version of Ween with a greater focus on '70s funk and AM radio rock, the band mixes lascivious and at times juvenile subject matter with spot-on music. The incendiary guitar playing comes courtesy of Captain Midnight himself on tracks such as Bebe Fatt and Position: Impossible. - Miller
Guitar Gunslingers Where Y’at New Orleans On stage, he’s a flamboyant guitar god, strutting with confidence and leading his band through a futuristic funk and rock universe...songs that speak amusingly to the human weaknesses of romance and interpersonal relationships. - Thinnes
