From the far reaches of the musical universe, The Funkonauts are just that: astronauts of funk, exploring all realms of funkitude:breaks,elecrto, drum and bass,downtempo,disco,house,hip hop,trip hop,and of course funk.Funkonauts will always explore the cosmic grooves,so they can anlyze the data,and provide funky results for all mankind.Band/artist history
We formed 1995 with myself (evel steve), The Perverted Minion (Asaad Morales) and Funky Frank. Assad of course, is a righteous brotha and he always comes through, and Funky Frank moved to the Big Apple. (good idea, if you asked me)
In 2002, evel steve finally got a computer to make this music the right way, instead of cutting and pasting with the Roland TR-800 back at the old lab.Have you performed in front of an audience?No, but I do rock out in my bedroom. Oh I like it.
Everyday is a special moment since the Groovy Cosmic Father has blessed the Funkonauts with the ability to get down.
