Enemy Squad



Review 10/30/98
From: Dr.Brookenstein

At the North Star Bar, Philly                                             

It was a great HELL NIGHT for me as I went to check out Enemy Squad,      
playing at the North Star Bar in Philadelphia.  I met E-Squad lead        
guitarist Maurice "Pirahnahead" Herd, who told me that drummer/leader Gabe
Gonzalez and the rest of the crew was hanging out upstairs (in the        
dressing room).  After entering the dressing room, I was talking to Gabe  
for 15 minutes about the group's upcoming gigs, names of individuals in   
the E-Squad Army, and some other stuff.  I got the pleasure of meeting Ron
Smith (guitarist), Kerry Clark (bassist), Pirahnahead (guitarist) and     
Duminie DePorres (guitarist).  The group's road manager, Chuck Haber, gave
me a newsletter which contained a fantastic review of the debut album by  
Enemy Squad....it was a newsletter by an organization based in            
Detroit.....home of the E-Squad!!                                         

When I went downstairs to the cafe area, I ran into Starr Cullars, Lige   
Curry and Mike "Kidd Funkadelic" Hampton.  Starr was very pleased to see  
because she wanted to give me more information on the press release party 
that she and her group ENTERPRISE are throwing in Wilmington, Delaware.   
When I asked Pirahnahead (Maurice Herd) about his nickname, he said that  
the first part (Pirahna) is what he is and the second part is what he     
does!!  HA HA HA HA!!                                                     

At 11:55pm, Enemy Squad started their set somewhat late.  They performed  
most of the stuff on the debut CD, plus a killer version of "Alice of My  
Fantasies"......SLAMMING HARD-EDGE ROCK!!  Kidd Funkadelic and Starr      
Cullars were happy to join the group for a nicely reworking of            
Funkadelic's "Red Hot Momma".....Starr was slammin' on bass and Kidd      
Funkadelic was smokin' on lead guitar!!  K.C. (Kerry Clark) played a      
funked-up solo during their set.  The group had the audience participate  
in the chant "When I say 'time to get', y'all say 'stupid'!"

The show ended at 1:25am.                                                 


There were two problems with the Enemy Squad performance:                 

There were only about 15 people checking out the show.                    

"Love War" sounded good, but not as good as it did when they performed it 
at the FUNK-O-RAMA or Tramps shows in New York City.  I did not hear the  
same Eddie Hazel-ish, nuclear-level guitar blasts from Piranhahead!
