The Cosbys!The Cos­bys are Auck­land’s undis­put­ed kings of North­ern Soul — a hyper­charged R&B revue thun­der­ing through uptown, down­town, deep soul, dance and bal­lad sounds, and most impor­tant­ly, doing it with impec­ca­ble style.

Appar­ent­ly dis­sat­is­fied with the groove­less, under­sexed state of mod­ern rock­’n’roll, The Cos­bys found the answer by smash­ing togeth­er four-on-the-floor Motown rhythms with a two-fist­ed Stax-style horn sec­tion and a singer — “Papa” Craw­dad­dy — who is so damn good he made James Brown just give up and die.

So cut loose, ladies and gen­tle­men — shake those hips, jive with the Hot Cos­by Horns, be touched by “Papa”. Do the jerk, watch them work, do the Mashed Pota­to, do the Alli­ga­tor. And do it on Cos­by Street, or even bet­ter — tonight (Fri­day 18th April) at Mighty Mighty.

10pm — $5 — good times
