"Thankyou to all of you who have taken the time to review our band,its appreciated"
And on the seventh day God holed up in Bristol and created this lot. Crafting a live tight party funk sound. The band are a legend on the circuit and have a enviable reputation as guaranteed crowd pleasers. Working round a call and return style of song writing. The sound is rocky edgy funk with strong dance elements, its definitely not sit on your arse music. Superb vocals and sound musicianship
From the opening notes of Get up and Dance, the Funkinsteins had the Fleece audience by the throat, and they shook them around and wrung them out. I have seen the Funks in a number of small venues around the city, and their show has always been lively, but Saturday night on the big stage with the Fleeces big rig, they absolutely blossomed. Flat out from the word go, the girls (and boy), played a set that had the crowd on fire. A variety of sounds make up the Funkinsteins act but they are all welded together in such a way as to make the show one big sound experience. A real blast, and worth the entrance fee without the headline act. Keep up the good work Funkinsteins. Billy Bristol Music Live
Bristol Community Festival- Playing a lively amalgamation of sheer funk and rock, the Funkinsteins are able to push their overwhelming charisma in the face of any audience. With their energy fuelled fusion of feel good tunes, it s an experience they are sure to enjoy.
The Demo of the Month Review -The Funkinsteins: "Charasmatic funk, rock, groove fusion" is the Funkinsteins description of their energy fuelled, live vibed,feel good music. They've absorbed an abundance of funk in collective history,and it gels to near perfection on the six tracks offered here. "America" is perhaps not the strongest opener, dispite the sassy vocals and guitars of Sally and Ellen, the slick funk bass from Alex, and Mike's nicely understated drumming antics. Things really hot up with Milestones, a kind of Jamiroquai meets Brand New Heavies.Natty vocal harmonies and tight playing combine with an obvious writing and arranging skill in the Funkinsteins camp. Theres a big market for classy funk so get in it. Nick Serre The Mix.
"Mix some major vocals,blend in ample amounts of dangerous bass and fold in serious guitar noise. There you have it. The Steins best served totally chilled." Raheela Raza-Syed .
