anyway, as for Christian "funk bands," i don't know if these guys
apply, but if you haven't heard adam again yet, you really need to.
_ten_songs_, _homeboys_, _dig_, _perfecta_...songs on all albums that
can make even redneck white boys like me groove. 8-)

Check out Soulfood76... their album _Velour_ was co-produced by Aaron
Sprinkle of poor old lu fame. They definitely fit the "funk" mold... incidentally,
I've been told the 76 in their name refers to 1976, because that's the year
funk got really funky. That's what I was told, anyway...

I have one word for you, well one word and a number: Soulfood 76
I haven't heard these guys myself but they have been described as "deep funk"
whatever that means. And Chuck when I look at my own 8 month old daughter
(Niamh Cair Bronagh McDonald) I, like you, can't help but sing that Choir song.

Don't forget about DON'T KNOW ttwo albums "Chili With Beans" and "The Cooly
High Cheesecake Memorial Ep"

[Zion Red]

Try Digahayzoose and Hot Pink Turtle. Both bands fuse funk and metal. I
especially recommend Dighayzoose.

Check out poor old lu, these guys know what funk is.

How 'bout Don't Know. They're way bizarre, but they're pretty hip.

There's always Precious Death's funk-metal style; though not too funky (esp.
not the vocals).

Poor Old Lu? funk?...nahh I "Sin" is one of the most hard rocking albums out
there with some punk/nirvana/own stuff mixed togther...P.O.L. is the closest
thing to grunge on the Christian Scene

Ah, let me put a plug in here for Rasberry Jam's "Chi-Ro". Currently one
of my all time favorite albums. Definitely funky and groovy with strong
lyrics and themes - racism disguised as Christianity, materialism, to name
two; and, clocking in at about 70 mins excellent $/min. value. (It really
bugs me when I shell out $$$ for a CD and get 30 mins worth of music. But
that's a soapbox for another thread.)

If inerested, check out their home page @
http://dostoevsky.ucr.edu/rms/rbjin.html. There's not much there but a
couple of bio sheets telling who the band is, how they came to be, etc.

Yes!!! Check out DON'T KNOW, they are VERY funky...

[z_mcp...@titan.sfasu.edu]

Don't Know are pretty werid...Saw um in concert sound like a bad imintation of
Primus. Sad part is there are members of Blenderhead in the band....

werid huh?

True, in some respects, but you can't tell me that "Bliss Is" is not
funk! That song defines it! However, I guess poor old lu is not
just funk, but awesome rock (not grunge), but post-retro, yeah,
post retro. Well, I guess you cannot place poor old lu in a music
category, I believe. Their music ranges from Spanish ballads [Cannon-Fire
Orange] to funk [Bliss Is, (of course, ahem)] to thrash(?) [World Falls
Down]

Let's leave it at that, poor old lu _does_ 'know' funk. After all,
didn't Aaron produce Soulfood's album?

[clive j.]

If you've heard the new Imagine This, you'll understand while they are
now far and away my favorite christian band!!!
See for yourself. CD ROM too!!!

Their web page is cool too:

As Jon Marlan <jma...@puma.cyberport.com> so eloquently put it:

>True, in some respects, but you can't tell me that "Bliss Is" is not
>funk! That song defines it!

for some reason, thinking of pol writing a song that "defines" funk
makes me chortle.

And that's not a pretty sight.

Good bands...Jimmy Mamau, the Victory Travelers, Connie Pitts, the New Testament, Andrae Crouch and the Disciples (some), the Messiahs of Glory, the Southland Singers, the Brothers, the Swan Silvertones, Christian Voice, In Memory of Stella Burke and other bands and Hospel artists were definitely funk in the 70's, Sometimes it comes down to songs and mixed genres... Stryper covered "Shining Star" by Earth Wind and Fire, Out of Eden's original album was a funky R&B, then, of course, there's Freedom of Soul, the Gospel Gangsters (A saved Bootsie Collins appears on one of their newest albums) and a ton of Cristian rappers that blend and sample Funk with a hip hop sound....
