Foot Patrol
Billed quite correctly as “the only foot fetish funk band in existence,” Austin’s Foot Patrol takes blind, virtuosic pianist T.J. Wade’s epic love for female feet and sets it to bumping R&B bravado. The band’s new Pussyfooting offers variations on Wade’s traditional games of Minneapolis funk footsie, dipping its toes in new wave juvenilia (“Dirty Digits”), commercial parody (“Funion Bunyuns”), and a swampy take on “Higher Ground” (“Camel Toe”). To paraphrase Samuel L. Jackson, Wade is simply Austin’s foot fucking master—although his jaw-dropping synthesizer solos and naughty puns do be tickling.
