About Me

It all started one day when Bobby Koser and Yalmer Quiroz were sitting at lunch in their high school cafeteria and knew that they needed to jam out together, but never did. Then, they got together and jammed the greatest funk jams the world had ever heard. With that small victory under their belt, they decided to start an army that would conquer the world with funk rock. Looking for the man to keep them in time, they recruted The Bob Berkun Experiment's drummer, Nick Petrillo to supply the Army's backbone rhythm. With the boys funkifying and rockin everything they set eyes on, they knew a piece of the puzzle was missing. Through an epic journey of searching they discovered the missing piece of this puzzle and it was the belting voice of none other than infamous "Samoan" Steve Bowen - the man who would finally sing to the march of the army. Now the band was complete and they were rockin a noise that people had never heard before! Today, this deadly combo of musicians are an unstoppable force... they are the Funk Revolution... width="425" height="350" .. ************************************************************ ************************
