funk : soul : hip-hop : roots : jazz Life just doesn't seem quite right without a regular dose of Funk to stimulate those rhythm buds. This is exactly whats needed to be able to do it on the good foot.

Surefunk is a collective of artists involved in creativity, through sounds: music and fully embrace the vibe that is FUNK, HIP-HOP, SOUL, JAZZ & ROOTS.

Yes, there are moments when we might think "where is the funk happening?", well, it's alive and kicking, you just have to dig a little deeper sometimes in these days of pop culture, house music and lone DJ's. It's got to be FUNKY.

The Mothership: Space & Time

As the Mothership once said: "The FONK will survive until the end of time"
(Not only on vynil and cd.. but in the people's hearts, minds and soul)

News Article: Funky Mardi Gras Celebrations
I was going to add this to a previous thread I made about some funk events I'm working on getting the word out in NYC.. but I figured, since it's Mardi Gras, maybe we can focus this thread on everyone's plans -- do they involve funk? Maybe we can get a good list of Funky recommendations going on in here... no matter what your city. Where will you be?

Here's mine:

(By the way... ->)WHO DAT!?
What a game last night! ... New Orleans will be the place to be the next few weeks, between post SuperBowl celebrations and Mardi Gras, I WANNA BE ON BOURBON STREET! Unfortunately, I won't be... But, there's been a few additions to the Mardi Gras Ball going on in NYC for all those (like me) who love all things NOLA but will be closer to the Big Apple. Hope to see some of you!


4th Annual Mardi Gras Ball..
DJ Cochon de Lait has been added to the Mardi Gras Celebration in NYC. He'll be spinning greasy NOLA funk & soul between sets, so the music will go all night!

Final details for the Mardi Gras Ball:

There will still be 3 live acts -- featuring New Orleans musicians:
Bonerama, Big Sam's Funky Nation & Tab Benoit.

(Check out the links to hear some tunes..) Plus, DJ Cochon has been added to the night, and will be spinning between each set.

The West Village Venue will be decorated in Mardi Gras finery, and people are encouraged to dress for the occasion.. costumes, masks, beads, etc. There will also be tons of beads being thrown out to the crowd!
