Some great new funk bands are out there dropping some butt jarring hits right now...

What *new funk bands do you support? (local or otherwise)

*New, as in, still making noteworthy records within the past decade or so.

There's local band called Redeye (http://www.ourstage.com/epk/theredeye) that makes some decent rock/funk/Hip hop joints. They don't perform regularly though and haven't released anything as of yet.

Lots of funky stuff on this label which is local to me (Nashville , TN)

^^I know this isn't anything new to Rchecka , but maybe it will put some of the other funky soul/jazz heads up on something new.
This is a band that's not out of Nashville , but plays shows here very frequently.

I got a few GED Soul records but that is definitely new to me, good recommendations.

^I like that second one, it's different, kinda jazzy.

So this weekend I got active and I just dropped this compilation as a modern funk promotion of sorts. I highly recommend funk fans download this, this has nothing to do with my mix and has everything to do with the quality-ass music on this funk compilation. I hope this will get funk fans to support some of these slept on musicians.

Basically, THIS is the kind of modern funk I REALLY LOVE.
