February 20-26, 2003 musicpicks The Yohimbe BrothersOn Front End Lifter (Ropeadope/Atlantic), DJ Logic (every jazzer’s spinner of choice) gets together with Blood Ulmer-esque guitarist Vernon Reid (six-string hero of Bad Brains rip-off Living Colour). Be honest: LC stunk so bad, The Bus Boys look comparatively great in the annals of black rock. What’s most interesting about Yohimbe — other than bass bombs dropped by Sugar Hill label legend Doug Wimbish and the sensuous vocals of Latasha Diggs (“Psychopathia Mojosexualis”) — is that Reid finally sounds like he’s having fun. With its mutant skronks and squiggles made from the simplest of forms (guitar, turntable), Front End is a merry mishmash of carnival fuzak, electro blues, sampladelic metal and trip/hip/blip-hop. These days, Reid’s crisp attacks and buoyant blend-ins are a means to a Front End rather than the bad, dramatic, soliloquy-like solos that marred Living Colour. Welcome back. Wed., Feb. 26, 9 p.m., $13, The North Star, 2639 Poplar St., 215-684-0808.
