Using two boomboxes and a Casio SK1 keyboard I came up with audio projects for school and personal use as a teenager. I also ran sound for a stage production in a drama class and made Amiga MOD tracker songs on the computer. In my early twenties started to form experimental and electronic dance music pieces.
At the time I was attending the University of South Florida's College of Engineering. To further my musical knowledge, I took a class on music theory and also attended electronic music classes under Paul Reller. During studio time in the literally underground Sycom department, I used an original E-mu, a Sequential Circuits Prophet-5, an early Moog, and a Yamaha DX7.
Around this time I was exposed to the roughest, darkest jungle tunes from the early/mid 90s. Encouraged by friends and given the name 'funky49', I was introduced to John Sexton while we worked together at IBM. Soon I was invited to his studio at home and the result is best documented in our music and friendship. In 2000 we had a record released on MAFFDDAP Recordings. We're looking to get more of our tracks put on wax.
In the infancy of the internet in the year 2001 (ha!), I registered funky49.com to make my work available worldwide to the non-Amish.
In April of 2004, I attracted the attention of EMI lawyer Jonathan H. Campbell because of my Beastie Boys remixes. They said my creativity was copyright infringement and requested that my mp3s be removed. I obeyed.
It is confirmed! I am the tour DJ for Spinal Tap. As soon as a new drummer is found, tour dates will be released.
FUNKY49 IS DOWN WITH THE EPP!
P.S.
Don't bother spamming my comments with YOUR crap. I don't do it to others and thus, do not tolerate it here. K, thaaaanks!!!
I haven't been by in a while. Hi! I've just about gotten my album finished. I think it's going to be better than the first one! I haven't been playing out much thanks to the studio, but I have some shows and stuff coming up. Also new shirts! What have you been doing?
Hey thanksgiving, take this! A song written by my old group Bluntsworth four or five years ago.
"Gravy On My Tateys"
Crappy sound quality back then, ouch! The songwriting is still there though I think. What do you think, is it a new classic holiday song?
ADD "Hustle All Day" to your page!! It's not just the most demanded song, but it’s turned into 1 of the biggest movements to ever come out of Tampa, Florida. Everywhere you go from the strip clubs, to the radio, and into the highschools "Hustle All Day" has def put its stamp on the city". Click the flyer above to visit T.G-Zeey’s myspace page!
OK, so somehow or another, our Tampa fans voted us all the way out to you guys, and well we didn't mind playing the Warped Tour at all. Same bunch of people are running another contest, and we'd be coming out there again for a BOTB to play the PacTour. So if you wanna' get us out there, click the box, register, and vote every day or whatever. But yeah... it'd be a good gig for us, so help us out eh? Thanks - Kc & I.E.
