"Smooth as silk and funky as it gets." - John Sinkevics, Grand Rapids Press
"Funktion, the 7-man band based in Kalamazoo, MI, delivers their dare-you-not-to-dance blend of funk and soul with a hip-hop beat that isn’t afraid to straddle genres – including rock and jazz. This lends to a gritty and some times flat-out rambunctious flavor in their live shows.
Whether they’re entertaining in a small basement bar or a Chicago club, the rhythm section lays down a skillful, yet simple groove, while up from the center comes a shockwave of energy from the driving percussion and soulful vocals. Don’t worry, the horn line isn’t just for show. They provide slinky, yet powerful grooves, subtle vocal harmonizing and when the mood strikes, some dance moves that beg the audience to join them.
Funktion’s high-energy performances are as intoxicating as whatever’s on tap. Night after night their live shows bring the kind of soul-stirring experience usually reserved for Sunday mornings." - Emily Haines
Hey boyz. After seeing your show recently, I have to say you are the best band to come out of Kalamazoo for quite awhile. Great energy and clearly awesome musicianship. Peace and good luck.
Yo i would like to personally take the time out to thank you for giving my band a chance! we are building a nationwide fan base extremely quickly because of amazing people like you who support us :D im not sure if anyone in my band has talked to you yet so i just thought id comment you anyway! we have a new online merch store with really cheap merch and american apparel shirts :D please comment me back WE ALWAYS REPSPOND! -david
The simple fact that you share your birthday with at least 9 million other people in the world might make someone feel insignificant. I'm hoping that knowledge was blocked out by playing your track during last week's show.
