Versatyl and Jumbo of Portland's Lifesavas tell us the top 11 Blaxploitation films that influenced their album Gutterfly.
Portland's Lifesavas have no problem giving it up for their influences. Their newest album, Gutterfly, is the love letter to the Blaxploitation era and a soundtrack to a film that doesn't exist - yet. Here, Versatyl and Jumbo talk about the movies and actors that influenced the album - from Superfly to Black Caesar, from Pam Grier to Fred Williamson. The movie version of Gutterfly isn't a full-blown feature yet, but Jumbo and Versatyl have been in character as Bumpy Johnson and Sleepy Floyd and, as an added bonus, loaned us some of their self-produced scenes to preview in this episode!
