“During their set, they amalgamated funk, rap and rock in a fashion that honored the man of the evening (George Clinton) and surely convinced many to look into their upcoming LP.” — Relix Magazine
“Blu Eye Extinction is the band to keep your eye on this year.” — George Clinton
“The New York-based Blu Eye Extinction is a funky fusion band of Hip Hop, Rap, and guitar-driven Rock. The group was formed by core members of the band formerly known as Miss Velvet and The Blue Wolf. The band launched into an explosive performance encouraging the crowd in the cavernous theater to get up and dance. The music shifted in both style and volume from the earlier acts. The New York fusion ensemble featured James Jones (bass), Constance Hauman (keys), TJ Robinson (trombone/percussion), JS Williams (trumpet), Henry Ott (guitar), and Joshua Keitt (drums) as the core band.” — Grateful Web
