US Funk Team

Who’s ready for a reunion?

About Me

US Funk Team was, is, and will continue to be a band that loves to play music. the band was formed by jason(jay funk) trzaska, matt(tank)bergman, and (jeremy jams) gecker in early 2003. The band released a number of demos and played hundreds of shows across the country, sharing stages with bands such as OK GO, Harvey Danger, Circa Survive, Hail Social, Travis Morrison(dismemberment plan) along with 1000's of others. The band built a sexy reputation and following from their catchy tunes, high energy live shows, and and crazy stage antics. In 2007, the band went on a hiatus to pursue other projects and attempt to answer all that Japanese fanmail.. Currently, Jay is performing in the band "Neighbors on the Moon", Tank is playing drums in the band "Powers" and Jeremy is focusing his time on his art. The band stay in friendly contact and intend to play music together again sometime in the future.. *** If you want to hear more funk team songs than the 6 songs on this page, Be sure to check out our purevolume page too.
