Funk bands..

Since I was unable to find a pure funk forum, I was just wondering...

I want to get into some funk music. Whether its the pure funk, funk metal, funk in the style of Cake even. I want it all baby! time to get down like a depressed noun, so hook me up kids!

 

Parliament/Funkadelic

 

yeah there is a lack of a proper funk subforum... Ive been trying to push for that...

 

DUUUUUUUUUUUUDEEE
-Addison Groove Project

One Way, George Clinton, early Paul Hardcastle, Heatwave, Ohio Players.

 

Scrabbled Eggs

 

Not a band, but...

Ronny Jordan

 

Ronny Jordan is actually acid jazz, but if you like acid jazz also try Down to the Bone and Mark Farina's Mushroom Jazz.

 

Really? I only know "The Jackal" and its remixes. *love*

 

acid jazz is super sweet

keep em going kids, much appreciated

 

Rick James, bitch!

not a band but you get the point

 

More along the lines of soul, but still very funky, check out Sly & the Family Stone, especially There's a Riot Going On.

 

-Les Claypool (or his other bands ala Fearless Flying Frog Brigade, etc.)
-Victor Wooten (kinda funky jazz)
-George Clinton
-Galactic
-Karl Densons Tiny Universe (as previously stated)
-Eddie Hazel
-Marcus Miller
-Jacob Fred Jazz Odyssey
