About Me

Fast and upbeat, positive and melodic, Funks G is a Power Rock trio from the Heartland. A breath of fresh air and optimism, Funks G is here to deliver you from the apathy of mainstream rock and quench your thirst for for something REAL.
Born in the Fall of 1999 in small town Iowa, Funks G has influenced thousands of music fans by playing over 125 shows across the Midwest, receiving airplay on 4 central Iowa radio stations, being included on several compilation albums and releasing 5 EP's and one Full Length on their own label, DubTown Records.
"The band, which has toured extensively through the Midwest - and will soon launch its first national tour - showed great energy throughout its set featuring complex drumming often not found in typical three-chord punk." -- Iowa State Daily - April 9, 2008
"In the groups first full-length album "The Phoenix", released January 1st of 2008, all the years have paid off in a smart, fast paced, and overall uplifting album experience. Funks G's sound can best be described as early Offspring meets current Rise Against with some of Social Distortions introspection and almost covert spirituality sprinkled within." --Ottumwa Scene Online - Issue 2
Funks G is currently booking a 100 day national tour that will launch this Fall.
