PROFITABLE NUMBER! 845-0569 THE BATTALION CLASSIFIEDS en LiT Brian Terry started playing his brand of Cajun zydeco with a hip-hop beat, there was no word to describe it. “I call it z-funk,” Terry said. “It’s just funk and zydeco mixed with hip-hop, rap and blues, putting it all together.” Z-Funk is also the name of LiT Brian & the Zydeco Travelers’ sec ond album, a collection of urban- influenced zydeco and funk tunes. “I grew up in Houston, man,” Terry said. “My dad used to play all the time. But I also used to lis ten to Snoop Dogg and 2Pac. I fused the two of them together to see what I could come up with, just put it down, face down.” LiT Brian and the Zydeco Trav elers will bring its urban-Cajun fusion to Bryan’s 3rd Floor Canti na tonight at 9 p.m. Terry has played the piano accor dion for 11 years, since high school. He has a tattoo of Buckwheat Zyde- co’s accordion on his arm. “I still listen to zydeco,” Terry said. “Clifton Chenier, Buckwheat Zydeco, those kind of cats.” Terry cut his teeth on zydeco under the tutelage of his cousin, accordionist Geno Delafose, who will play the at 3rd Floor Cantina March 14. The Zydeco Travelers cover Clifton Chenier’s “You Got Me Crying” on Z-Funk, as well as songs from such funk icons as James Brown and Rare Earth. “We try to give them some thing more than just zydeco,” Terry said. The band’s first album, Fresh, concentrated more on urban rhythms than on roots zydeco, LTI Bryan Terry and the Zydeco Travelers are playing at the 3rd Floor Cantina tonight at 9. Terry said. “Fresh was basically an out- coming, a debut,” he said. “We were letting peo ple know who we were. On Fresh, we had straight hip- hop. Z-Funk took it back home to funk and tradi tional zydeco.” The musical dif ference between the albums is pal pable, Terry said. “It sounds like two different bands,” he said. “If “It's just funk and zydeco mixed with hip- hop, rap and blues, putting it all together." Li’l Brian Terry Musician Z-Funk was way in left field, Fresh was way in right field. We knew we wanted to make a change, but we didn’t know it was going to come out like that.” The band has played to packed houses all over the nation, from Philadelphia to St. Louis, but it has been a while since Terry has played in his home state. “We’re just start ing to play Hous ton and Austin again,” Terry said. “We have people waiting in line to get in to the clubs we play. Some of them can’t even get in.” The band’s return to3rdFlw Cantina will feature a Caja crawfish boil starting at 6 pm manager Willie Bennett said. “We’re going full-tilt, doin the whole Cajun deal,” T ’" r nett said. The 3rd Floor Cantina hasali hosted zydeco legends Beausolt! who played a halftime showattt year’s Super Bowl. Terry said he is looking ward to the show in Bryan — , he looks forward to every shoi his band plays. "I love this, 1 wouldn’t givei up for nothing,” Terry sai; "Whenever you can do whatj’ii want to do, that’s cool.
