Uptighty, a revolving jam session of a band, has assembled 13 of their finest players for their full length debut. Incorporating some of the swingingest from the Chicago scene, the disc gives the listener a great view of what Uptighty is all about; showing off the tight horns, all the singing and swinging, the full-length feature jams, and a rhythm section even Curtis Mayfield himself might listen to.

Leroy Bach is the guitarist/vocalist, ring-leader, and constant member of Uptighty. He also plays bass for 5ive Style (Sub Pop) and was a member of Liz Phair's band for two albums... The band boasts members of Tortoise and the Tar Babies, also. Yes, Uptighty are members of the incestuous Chicago scene, not unlike their friends in Tortoise and The Sea & Cake, but with far more emphasis on funk.
