From the depths of a Wisconsin college town, nestled in the meditative chill climates, emerges a hot rockin' funk that keeps the feet movin' and the body groovin'.
From the painted rocks of Sedona to the bright lights of the WAMI awards stage, fans have experienced a musical phenomena they won't soon forget.
From diapers to dentures, folks of all ages have felt the groove of this sensational rock outfit deep within their souls.
Something Phonic, a tight, richly talented group of funksters, is serious about fun and good music. Their unique style and energetic performance express the many facets of this existence with sarcasm, humor and sincerity. Having shared venues with Train, Big Wu, Little Blue Crunchy Things, & countless others, and having practiced their funkin' butts off, these guys have both the maturity and experience to successfully walk the organic and original paths the music has taken. With an ocean of percussive sounds, tight, witty and sly bass licks, and dual melodic guitar creations, SoPho's lyrics certainly have some waves to surf on.
In 1998, the band began as just a hearty threesome, (Joe Stevens, Namiah Tribolini, Keith Scanlan) rockin' their town of Oshkosh and surrounding Wisco area with their creative funky style. In 2001, when they acquired a fourth member, one of the most talented "keyboarders" alive, Mark Martin, SoPho reached an expanded version of the already tight funky sound, becoming full, harmonic, and epiphinated.
In 2005, with the departure of Mark Martin, the transition of Keith Scanlan to the electric guitar, and the introduction of Sean D. on Bass and Vocals, Something Phonic hit a new stride in their career. With a new sharpened edge to their rock riffs, and a bundle of fresh energy and creative juices, Something Phonic once again delivered the fresh goods to the hungry masses.
Their music always expanded cleverly into the greaziest realms of funk rock, never letting down their following of committed fans and pleasing the freshest ears around the country.
If funk rock is an international monument with infinite locations, and people have been known to gather at funk Rock because of the positive vibrations it emits, then the band will soon become an icon of the ever moving and groovin' funk movement.
