New year's Eve 2007 - Yo Moma's Big Fat Booty Band

Yo Mama’s Big Fat Booty Band is the perfect band for NYE, although they appeared to be a little bounced out at the start of this final night of their exhausting end-of-2007 NC run. The NYE 2007’s cast was Josh Phillips on guitar, vocals and percussion, devil winged Al Al Ingram on bass and vocals, John Paul Miller (guitar and vocals), Grady Gilbert on guitar, Greg Hollowell on sax and vocals, Derrick Johnson on trombone and vocals, David Partin on drums, and Suzanna Baum on vocals. Sabrina Hilario projected well-coordinated visuals. The band opened with “Naked Girls Covered in Drugs”, a sing-a-long to the tune of Auld Lang Syne. Sadly, this was only a song tonight – no bare naked booty like at the Neighbor Theater several nights earlier. The rhythmic “Cancion Del Fuego” was their first song of the night featuring a sultry sax solo.

Suzanna took the lead and showed her stuff on “The Baumer”. The band, the audience, and the 90-minute set increased in stony energy and peaked with “That’s Right” and a raucous cover of the Beastie Boys’ “Fight for Your Right”. In honor of Barefoot Manner, the Booty Band did a well-intentioned, but never-before-played and somewhat slow, cover of Barefoot Manner’s “Airplane” with the lyrics written out on paper towel cheat sheets. Following the Midnight countdown, a combined Barefoot Booty Manner Band started 2008 with Stevie Wonder’s “I Wish”.
