In December 2013 Lettuce was finishing up what was by all accounts there most fruitful and successful year too date.  They were all gathered in their defacto hometown of  Brooklyn for a week long run at Brooklyn Bowl and their last show of the year at the Capitol Theater. 

Never ones to waste a moment, Lettuce took their time together in December in between shows to record two new original tracks, “Don’t Be Afraid To Try”, which features vocalist Alecia Chakour, and “Yakitori”.  “Don’t Be Afraid To Try” is sure to be a Lettuce staple for years to come, seamlessly blending the Lettuce sound with timeless R&B vocals.  Alecia is currently touring with the band and fitting in perfectly.  “Yakitori” is classic hard-tiiing instrumental Lettuce at its best.  This is the sound that fans have come to expect from the band and “Yakitori” shows that the direction of the bands sound is still pushing funk to new heights!

Lettuce is offering these two singles for FREE through their soundcloud and on limited edition 7 in vinyl.  You can pre-order the vinyl HERE.  The tracks are also up on iTunes now.

It was a special year for the Lettuce collective in which they played huge dates at Bonnaroo, Summer Camp, the Fillmores in Denver and San Francisco and made it to a ton of cities for the first time, always met by eager fans new and old.  Lettuce Spring tour starts tonight at the Roxy in LA and rolls on through April 6.  The band then will celebrate Jazzfest at their Annual Royal Family Ball before a monster schedule of high profile festival appearances.

A remix of one of my favourite northern soul tracks.
Thanks for listening.
Keep the faith.

Sam Dees - Lonely For You Baby (Dorso Remix)

[Verse 1]
Phone light glows, it’s that time again,
You drop a line, I drop my friends.
You say, “come through,” and I don’t stall,
Yeah, you’ve got a rhythm, I’ve got the call.Leather seats hum with the bass turned high,
City lights blink as the world slides by.
No promises made, just sweet free fall,
Baby, you’re my booty call.

[Pre‑Chorus]
Your perfume hums with the jazz kick drum,
The groove comes alive, and my mind goes numb.
No definition, but it says it all,
Every beat spells booty call.

[Chorus]
You’re my booty call, my late‑night thrill,
A wicked smile I can’t sit still.
You spin me wild, then you fade like smoke,
Still got your taste in every note.

You’re my booty call, smooth and fine,
Every ring’s another line.
No love maps, no rules at all,
You’re my fire, my muse — my booty call.

[Verse 2]
Candlelight bounce on your cherry wine,
Jazz on loop, move in time.
We mix sin with a dash of style,
Turning wrong into something worthwhile.
Your laugh hits soft, then breaks the air,
You say, “don’t fall,” I don’t care.
We blur the edges, rewrite it all,
Baby, you’re my booty call.

[Pre‑Chorus]
That snare taps slow, then the horns confess,
You tilt your glass, I love the mess.
It’s not forever, but it’s ten feet tall,
That heat we own, that booty call.

[Chorus]
You’re my booty call, my late‑night thrill,
A wicked smile I can’t sit still.
You spin me wild, then you fade like smoke,
Still got your taste in every note.

You’re my booty call, smooth and fine,
Every ring’s another line.
No love maps, no rules at all,
You’re my fire, my muse — my booty call.

[Bridge - Hip‑Hop Flow / Breakdown]
Heavy charm with a rock‑band base,
Everlasting swing in a tempo chase.
Half the truth and a glass of gin,
Half the night, then we do it again.
No goodbye, no curtain call,
We just groove till the high can fall.
You hit send, I drop it all —
That’s the code, my booty call.

[Final Chorus]
You’re my booty call — that perfect crime,
My favorite verse, my favorite line.
Every heartbeat knows the draw,
You’re my sin, my stage, my flaw.

You’re my booty call, sweet and sly,
A ghost that glows when the night walks by.
No love lost, no pride at all —
You’re my forever spark — my booty call

You're My Booty Call

Brooklyn, NY -- Lettuce releases the bonus track “Star Children,” previously only available on the rare Japanese version of their 2008 album Rage!. Because of the limited release, “Star Children” has only been heard by the most devoted Lettuce fans. Lettuce's Adam “Shmeeans” Smirnoff had this to say about the release:

“The track was named "Star Children" to pay tribute to some of the great Funkateers like Bernie Worrell, Bootsy Collins, and George Clinton. Neal Evans absolutely crushes the Modular Synthesizer. This is a free track from everyone here at Lettuce, so turn it up Loud, Blast Off, and Enjoy the Ride.”

Lettuce has enjoyed a booming Spring 2013, consisting of main stage plays at Buku, Summer Camp, & Purple Hatter’s Ball Music Festivals, as well as sold-out club plays in Philadelphia, Baltimore, Denver, New York City, and New Orleans (Annual Royal Family Ball). The band will continue to build momentum leading into an electrifying summer, highlighted by their return to the legendary Fuji Rock festival in Japan, as well its primetime slots at Electric Forest, All Good, and the Catskill Chill music festivals.
