If You Like Funk: Check Out Vulfpeck


Please leave your thoughts: love it, hate it, somewhere in between or indifferent? And I apologize for the bad dancing white guy in the video.

@david_ten BTW I'm sitting here right now listening to the Galactic "Crazy Mongoose" CD that arrived today. My boys both sat down earlier and listened with me for a bit. Awesome. On Childish Gambino, they are fans...I will tell them you are cooler than me :-) 
Great post!
This one may make the "old audio funk dudes" cringe, but may be more in your sons’ repertoire:

Pigeons Playing Ping Pong. (start with the Psychology or Pleasure albums, if they haven’t listened prior)

BTW, great to hear that you are enjoying ’Crazy Mongoose.’
I'm always fascinated by what Roon picks on the radio when an album finishes. I just finished playing (again) Tower of Power S/T (thanks @shadorne) and Roon selected "Vein Melter" from Herbie Hancock's HeadHunters album relating it to TOP's "Just Another Day." I've included both below so you can decide whether you think they belong together:

I just finished listening to Lettuce's (2008) release called Rage!. If you like your bass front and center this is the album for you. I'm a bass fan, so it really worked for me. Although released in the last 10 years this album has a lot of the 1970s built into it IMO.
Happy listening!

Vulpeck has a wide range, but to me, they definitely lean towards r&b/soul/funk.  A few examples:

I hear many influences in Vulfpeck: Hall and Oats, Marvin Gaye, Jackson 5, ToP.  If you enjoy those artists, (with a heavy dose of very good bass playing), I'd give them a chance. 

A talented and tight young band, in my opinion.

If you like New Orleans funk with a heavy Hammond B3, check out Pappa Grows Funk.
