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.

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.
….OK, I finally got around to listening to Vulfpeck, thx to the last poster.  Wow, I couldn't make it through more than a minute of any of those 4 videos!  They sound like a high school band playing what they think passes for Funk.  Sorry, but I wouldn't even recommend that to a youngster.  Needed to cleanse my pallet with some 'Old Man Funk'!;)

…..aahhh, that's better!
  
….ok, here's just ONE more.  One of the most soulful collaborations this century is when Prince brought Maceo Parker (James Brown) and Larry Graham (Sly, Graham Central Station) into his band.  Fit like a hand in glove!  Larry released one record from this period, this tune's from it and it's greasy!
