Five-piece soulful, glam rock band Diane Coffee brought the funk to Cosmic Charlie’s on Thursday night in support of its new album “Everybody’s A Good Dog.”

Modern rockabilly Louisville band Ted Tyro started off the night with catchy lead guitar riffs and lots of audience head bopping. The lead singer sported a Höfner-style, Paul McCartney-esque bass and had a powerful voice. The band played five songs before Diane Coffee began its theatrical show.

“Lexington!” lead singer Shaun Fleming said to the audience. “It’s been two years since I’ve been here, and you’re all still as beautiful as the last time.”

Some fans know Fleming as a former child actor, but mostly as the drummer for indie darlings Foxygen and Star Power, who played at Cosmic Charlie’s in April 2015. Since then, Fleming has taken time to work on his new project, which he began in 2013.

“I’d been listening to a lot of Diana Ross, so Diane,” Fleming said in an interview with Interview Magazine, describing how he coined the title of this side project. “Then this singer-songwriter Nathan Pelkey, he had a song called ‘Mr. Coffee,’ and I kind of knew I wanted to embody a feminine role for this character.”

Diane Coffee has created its own name with its first album “My Friend Fish,” as well as being featured on the critically acclaimed album “Run the Jewels 2,” from the rap duo Run the Jewels.

The band opened up with a slow ballad that quickly built up over the next hour, with each song becoming more intense and upbeat. Fleming controlled the stage while banging his guitar with his elbow rather than using a whammy bar.

“That song was about love,” Fleming said after belting the envious song “Green.”

Self-proclaimed as a Motown psychedelic band, Fleming’s presence brought the audience to their feet and kept them entranced as he slipped off stage, only to come back rocking silver lipstick and a sequin top.

Unsettling key changes kept the audience on their toes, only to fall back into the groove of the keyboardist’s surprise saxophone solo that was welcomed with cheers.  

Looking around, every person was subconsciously moving to the beat, captivated by the performance and the witty dialogue Fleming squeezed in with the audience between certain songs.  

“The only monster in this world are politicians,” Fleming said. “You should never trust a guy with a pocket square.”
