Material
is a 80s studio band used for sessions with Herbie Hancock, Afrika
Bambaataa and Nona Hendryx. Formed in 1978 and covering variations of
punk, jazz and experimental funk. Along with Nona Hendryx in the early
80s the band placed some great music on dance floors including “Bustin’
Out” and “It’s A Holiday” which give us the Nona Hendryx in full form
and so welcomed again for the time. “It’s A Holiday” has always been a
favorite of mine and has the feel of noise funk which Material delivers
so well. Nona adds the mystique and uplifting soul emphasis in the song
and makes it very memorable.
I
have taken the 12” version of “It’s A Holiday” and included it in the
80s Edition for this new ReStructure Mix which plays out not only
lengthier but also uses those conga drums to lay down the excitement.
This is a definite outbreak of party noise for those early morning
revivals and reminds me of a night that never ends.
