Description:
Tokyo-based funk-rock outfit Scoobie Do deliver an infectious modern tribute to Archie Bell & The Drells’ classic “Tighten Up.” With live instrumentation, crisp horn arrangements, and a distinctly Japanese twist, their version bridges ’60s dancefloor funk and contemporary jam-band energy.

The band’s trademark “funk-a-lismo” sound shines through — gritty guitar licks, locked-in rhythm section, and call-and-response vocals that channel the spirit of James Brown and The Meters.

Beloved in Japan’s deep funk scene, “Tighten Up” stands as a testament to the global reach of American soul music, reinvented for a new generation of live groove enthusiasts.
