Fast and upbeat, positive and melodic, Funks G is a Power Rock trio from the Heartland. A breath of fresh air and optimism, Funks G is here to deliver you from the apathy of mainstream rock and quench your thirst for for something REAL.
Born in the Fall of 1999 in small town Iowa, Funks G has influenced thousands of music fans by playing over 150 shows across the United States, receiving airplay on 4 central Iowa radio stations, being included on several compilation albums and releasing 5 EP's and one Full Length on their own label, DubTown Records.
"The band, which has toured extensively through the Midwest - and will soon launch its first national tour - showed great energy throughout its set featuring complex drumming often not found in typical three-chord punk." -- Iowa State Daily - April 9, 2008
"In the groups first full-length album "The Phoenix", released January 1st of 2008, all the years have paid off in a smart, fast paced, and overall uplifting album experience. Funks G's sound can best be described as early Offspring meets current Rise Against with some of Social Distortions introspection and almost covert spirituality sprinkled within." --Ottumwa Scene Online - Issue 2
After touring the United States twice in support of The Phoenix, Funks G has completed a new 6 song EP and is in pre-production for their next full length album.
Pick up your copy of The Phoenix at:

Affecting CHANGE can be a daunting task. Affecting GLOBAL change? Try HERCULEAN. Still, with an issue as big as GLOBAL WARMING, it's going to take an equally enormous effort to make change. One organization is doing just that. It's 350.ORG, the international CLIMATE CHANGE campaign. Partnering with individuals and groups around the world, 350.ORG is changing the way we look at our changing climate. Already, 350.ORG has impacted environmental legislation in America, inspiring politicians to cut carbon 80% by 2050. On October 24th, 2009, 350 goes worldwide.
In coordination with 350's international day of action, ADITA.ORG releases "C350: MUSIC FOR A MOVEMENT". This compilation consists of a wide variety of artists from around Chicago, the midwest, and beyond. "C350: MUSIC FOR A MOVEMENT" benefits 350.ORG, with promotion of the October 24th day of action, and monetarily with each sale. ADITA.ORG is the digital home of A DAY IN THE AIR, a personal zine written by Bradley Adita. "C350: MUSIC FOR A MOVEMENT" is A Day In The Air #24 and the 4th CD to be released since 2000. "Iowahardcore.com(pilation)" was released in 2003.
