[edit] Sweat Band (Bootsy's Sweat Band)

Sweat Band was a short-lived American funk group. Sweat Band was a step between Bootsy's Rubber Band and his "solo" albums. It was preceded by several (4) Rubber Band albums, one solo effort and various work with the George Clinton's Parliament-Funkadelic collective. Sweat Band's solitary album, along with 3 "solo" albums, represent the the entire studio output of Bootsy Collins in the Eighties. However he also remained a studio force for the P-Funk mobb in that era.

The Bootsy Collins side project featured Maceo Parker and several other members of Parliament. Their eponymous 1980 album was more instrumental than vocal compared to other P-funk projects.
