MF Ruckus Throwing Party For Ty Blosser, Wife

Tim Wenger | January 2, 2015

Who: MF Ruckus, White Fudge, The Blind Staggers and OROYA

What: Meet the Blo-Skis – Ty and Jessi’s wedding part 2

When: Saturday January 10th 2015, 7:00 MST

Where: The Oriental Theater, Denver, CO USA

Why: To throw our bandmate and his wife, our band mom, the best party of their lives.

Historically, MF Ruckus and hip-hop/funk brother band White Fudge have never needed an excuse to throw a party, but this time around, the reason is romance. Long time drummer and best bud, Ty Blosser is finally taking the plunge and marrying his long-time girlfriend, Jessi Krosky. This wedding represents more than a normal recitation of vows, cutting of cake and drinking of booze. This wedding symbolizes a foray out of the reckless abandon of youth and into the slightly more controlled abandon of adulthood for not only Ty and Jessi, but an entire family of musicians.

The members of these bands have developed quite a reputation in this city for being a raucous clan of professional party-animals. Now, with several members fathering children, buying homes and settling down, a new chapter has begun. This chapter, however, is a far cry from the epilogue. Along with these new milestones comes increased focus and an entirely new vision for the future of MF Ruckus and White Fudge, also known as The Fresh Fudge Family (a name derived from the clever mashing together of “White Fudge” and now defunct project “Forth Yeer Freshman”). Essentially, this wedding represents a marriage of passion and drive with clarity and direction, a clarity and direction not dissimilar to that which Jessi has brought into Ty’s life.

Ty has been the cornerstone of both MF Ruckus and White Fudge for over a decade. He has been the glue that holds the group together and the voice of reason whenever things have begun to run off the rails. He’s the mellow-toned big brother, a man of few words who, when he does speak is someone to whom you’d do well to listen because it will either be very wise or very, very funny. Somewhere along the way, he met his bride-to-be Jessi. Jessi has, in this time, become the Wendy to the Lost Boys in this group of Man-Children. She has provided sanctuary, home-cooked meals, rides, and on more than one occasion, kept a foolhardy crew of miscreants from the pitfalls of self-destruction. Jessi has been more than “the drummer’s girlfriend”. She’s the queen, the matriarch, the HBIC (Head Bitch In Charge).

Joining the revelry, all the way from Chicago, will be The Blind Staggers featuring long-time MF Ruckus and former White Fudge lead guitar player, Tony Lee. The Blind Staggers are made up of Tony, his brother Damian Christian Wilburn, Tony’s fiance, Laura Zielinski and her brother, known to the general public only as Shrek. Additionally, up and coming instrumental-experimental-dance-funk power trio OROYA will round things out nicely. OROYA features Trade-Ins/Frontside Five‘s Rob-Dogg Crawford, the official illustrator of The Fresh Fudge Family, Joshua Finley and everybody’s favorite Sailor Jerry liquor rep, Mr. Joe Pro. As if this wasn’t enough of a family affair, the show will be held at the historical Oriental Theater which has not only been a place of significance for all the bands, but is currently run in part by White Fudge bass player, Andy Bercaw.

Toss in a handful of assorted characters from the Denver music scene, a ton of cheap booze and a few surprises, make it all free (donations for bands, bride and groom cheerfully accepted) and you’ve got yourself the recipe for a Kick-ass-erole.

This event is open to the public and all are welcome. Let’s make this the greatest day of Jessi and Ty’s lives up to this point.
