Melbourne funk-rock outfit Dysfunktional have cemented a fresh new sound which breathes from the heart and combines their uniquely-styled energy, tension and talent. Grounded by their ability to separate themselves from others in their crowded genre, they have blossomed into stringent hard-nosed musicians with an eye for professionalism. One thing is for sure – these boys have their sights set on big things and they won’t let anything stand in the way.
They are spearheaded by the thunderclap tones and powerful vocals of Daniel Jones who joined the line up a couple years ago after a long and painful search for a new front man; he has helped elevate the group to a completely new level. The eldest statesman and one of the founding members Scottyfunk provides chunky guitars, whilst funky bass grooves are courtesy of Christos. The backbone solid beats of the group are thrown down by ????.
In a band which has trawled the ocean of venues across the city in the last seven years, they have experienced tremendous amounts of highs and lows; losing many members along the journey. Instead of packing it in, they pressed on to define and stamp out their place in the Melbourne music scene proving that they are not just another fad but a band that is in it for the long haul. It hasn’t been an easy ride for the guys but Dysfunktional say, “A lot of love lost, a lot of friends lost and a lot of hard lessons learnt along the way, but we do it for the love of music and never believe in giving upâ€.
Dysfunktional have just finished recording their début album in 2007 which has taken a long time to achieve, but one well worth waiting for. With the help of producer Ren Parisi from Melbourne Records they have calved and defined a sound which is unlike anyone else.
