a local funk, soul band

in my hometown of Tarentum Pennsylvania, about 15 miles from Pittsburgh, we have a very rich community of musicians in the surrounding areas as well as where I live. there is a festival held every year in a town called new Kensington, a band always comes out who is known a great deal in Pittsburgh called daphunk band with there now ex lead singer dan stockman. these guys were the funk legends of Pittsburgh and I believe still are. they cover songs like shake, shake, shake, purple rain, and lets go crazy. a couple years ago we ran in to their now ex singer dan and he gave an old band of mine a couple tips on how to be successful in the music world, and later came down and did a couple songs with us. the only reason I talked about these guys is because we were talking about dance music and what not and id have to say for being a very un popular genre any more these guys sure make you want to dance!

 

here is a link to them live a couple years ago.

 

and here is my old band getting a opportunity to cover war pigs with their ex lead singer!
