“Gurufish 21st Century Funk: From the minute Gurufish took the stage at Peachtree Tavern, heads started turning and bodies slid out of their bar stools to saunter onto the dance floor. Gurufish’s arena soul sound was far too big for Peachtree Tavern’s little stage – but that didn’t stop Jimmy St. James and his fantastic band from putting on a killer show. Their funk-anthem lyrics and contagious beats lured fans and first-timers alike onto the dance floor. The 9 piece ensemble of background singers, congo players, saxophone, 6-string bass, background keys, drum-kit, and guitar lifted Jimmy St. James’ seductive vocals and keys to super-star status. In fact, one of the things that made this group so much fun to watch was the rock-star personae that shone from every sequin that sparkled on that stage. It was smokin’!!”

— Laura Johnson Jones, MusicManixX

“OMFG the funk. So funky it hurt. All the funk you can sop up with a bicsuit. Did I mention it was funky? I might have a little bit of a soft spot for the funk, but I mean damn, these guys brought it! It's like James Brown and Prince had a love child… Gurufish is my kind of funk. Joshua Reddick ”

— Joshua Reddick, Put It Where it's At

“Great show with some truly unplanned surprises (haha) but def a superstar moment for Pride. Not the best timeslot but glam-in-the-daytime sunshine helped everybody look supersonic in their shades, right? The call-back, stompin' encore of "Pimp St" was extremely cool, even if it kept MM waiting a bit. Thanx, guys, for a fab show .... see you soon (after dark next time, hopefully!)”

— Mark Bromberg, Mark Bromberg

“Gurufish is a bumpin' funk band. ”

— Macon Telegraph

“if you're looking for a truly pimped-out, laid-back album to throw in your Bose system while you throw down, then look no further. Gurufish combines funk, soul and R&B with a dash of sex sprinkled lightly throughout. ”

— Derek Stephens, Atlanta City Mag

“glamorous, sexy, funk-pop sound… This is one CD to buy. To understand Gurufish, you have to listen to them.”

— Jeaninie D., Musicincider

“Every song on the album Mohair Supreme has been listened to by me and one of the members from my entertainment team as we got lost in the submission from Gurufish. Wow!...is all I can say.”

— Charlotte Cain, Arts & Entertainment Digest

“Musicincider was very fortunate to see them live at the second annual beerfest at Woodruff Park. Beer, bands, and a Sunshine Happy Day, brought to you by Gurufish.”

— Jeaninine D., Music Insider

“I might have a little bit of a soft spot for the funk, but I mean damn, these guys brought it! ”
