Live music review

Bootsy Collins landed the funk mothership at ACL Live Sunday
http://www.examiner.com/concerts-in-austin/live-music-review-bootsy-collins-landed-the-funk-mothership-at-acl-live-sunday-review
When Austin Concerts Examiner heard funk’s founding bassist, William “Bootsy” Collins had been booked to play ACL Live a couple months ago,we were astounded. After wondering aloud how long it had been since Bootzilla had headlined a tour we found out it was 16 years ago. Watching Collins and his all-star crew of players (there were 15 of them) having what looked like the time of their life on stage Sunday evening was priceless.Bootsy wore multiple costumes throughout an extended, three-hour set. The leader of the Funk U-Nity World Tour landed the mothership of funk smack in the middle of downtown Austin and he was not in any hurry to move onto the next stop.Maybe it was the homemade cape a fan gave him or the crowd chanting “Bootsy, Bootsy” before he took the stage, but the man who put the funk in the bass wanted to hang around ATX as long as possible it seemed.

The lineup looked like a future Rock n Roll Hall of Fame inductee class. The legendary keyboardist, Bernie Worrel (Parliament Funkadelic, Talking Heads) was there. So was guitarist Blackbyrd McKnight (Parliament, The Headhunters) and Collins himself, who played with James Brown and Parliament establishing a bass standard for funk music. He even teaches an online course for advanced players.

Local makeup artist Mott Leonino said the goal of a living statue is to fool the eye.

“I like to create the illusion and then have that illusion burst,” she said.

That’s what Leonino does best. She’s been turning everyday people into the sublime for more than 20 years.

The process isn’t simple. Paint has to cover every inch of the model’s exposed skin.

Last week, artist Owl Morrison turned into a living angel statue.

“The tiresome part is getting it all off,” she said.

After the paint comes the powder, and an angel is born.

While she rested her wings, News 8’s Heidi Zhou got to start the fun. Leonino turned the reporter into the Statue of Liberty.

The paint is wet and slimy, especially when Leonino sticks it in your ears and between your toes.

“It’s like the weirdest pedicure you’ll ever have,” she said.

The hard part comes after the transformation happens. A living statue has to stand perfectly still. You can’t talk, laugh or whine about how much it hurts to hold up your arm.

“You stand still for so long that people just assume you’re a mannequin. When you finally do move, something as simple as a wink or an eye roll, people really jump,” Leonino said.

It’s all about art, and art can be painful, but it’s all worth it to turn what’s usually stone into living wonder.
