Originally released on the Japanese CD version of 2008’s Rage but never available on vinyl or digital platforms until now, “Star Children” finds the sextet paying homage to the late P-Funk keyboardist and Wizard of Wu himself, Bernie Worrell.

The last time Lettuce played at the original Brooklyn Bowl in Brooklyn, NY, they performed a vibrant New Year's celebration to cap off a three-night stand on December 31, 2017.

Kalamazoo, Michigan, mostly rests on the southwest bank of the river that shares its name. Several tributaries feed into the river here, creating hilly terrain that turns the city into a wonder of winding roads, undulating to conform to the natural landscape. Kalamazoo is also the county seat, with both city and county buildings filling downtown, where a maze of one-way streets adds to the congestion. A good summer has brought heavy roadwork, making the city nearly impassable.
