The United Booty Foundation
The United Booty Foundation is a disco revival/show band formed in 1995 in Syracuse, New York.
The United Booty Foundation (a.k.a. "U.B.F", "The Booty") was formed in September of 1995 by JT and drummer Brother Starsky on the roof of the MONY Towers in Downtown Syracuse. The band ruled The Downtown scene for nearly 4 years at Styleen's Rhythm Palace drawing record crowds every Thursday. Even more remarkable was the Saturday night draw at The Water Street Music Hall in Rochester, NY where the band consistently drew 1,500+ and established themselves as the top act in Western and Central New York.
The United Booty Foundation still performs throughout New York state with JT and Brother Lou Rawls remaining from the original lineup. Starsky went on to star in the Las Vegas production of The Blue Man Group in March 2000 where he remains to this day. He continues to mail order steaks.
