Funk music legend, and a favorite among the hip-hop culture, George Clinton will join the All-Star musical line-up at The Exotic Erotic Ball and Expo June 17, 2006 at New York City's Pier 94. Billed as the internationally acclaimed Celebration of Flesh, Fetish, and Freedom, proudly announced along side Funk Music Legend George Clinton performing also will be Tommy Lee and hip-hop and rock DJ Aero mixing big-ass analog bass, breakbeat and dirty electro house music; the legendary ''80s icon hit-maker and five-time Grammy winner Thomas Dolby will perform his hits 'she Blinded Me with Science'' and ''Hyperactive''; and King Norris, featuring Fred Norris from the Howard Stern Show, will play their brilliant straight-ahead guitar-rock. In addition, world-renowned adult actresses Tera Patrick, Carmen Luvana, and Violet Blue will also be making stage appearances, performing, and signing autographs. "Having George Clinton join the already star-studded musical line-up once again proves that the Exotic Erotic Ball will always maintain its tradition providing the very best musical performances for its participants," states Entertainment Director and emcee, Paul Nathan. George Clinton (http://www.georgeclinton.com ) mastermind of the Parliament/Funkadelic collective, revolutionized R&B during the ''70s, by twisting soul music into funk by adding influences from his heroes: Jimi Hendrix, Frank Zappa, and Sly Stone. The Parliament/Funkadelic machine ruled black music during the ''70s, capturing over 40 R&B hit singles (including three number ones) and recording three platinum albums. During the ''80s George Clinton recorded with the P-Funk All-Stars and in the ''90s recorded solo albums with Prince's Paisley Park label, securing himself as a true forefather or rock and influencer of countless hip-hop and rap artists.
