About Band
Formed during October of 2007, ‘Funk In Public’ was an idea spawned by Anthony Devine and David Wilkinson, two mates who have been jamming and playing in bands together since 2004. The premise was to make a band that brought together all their influences in Funk, Jazz, Blues, Hip-Hop and Alternative. Within weeks Travis Percy joined playing rhythm and lead guitar which helped complete the grounding for Funk In Public. Soon after, Lady Lash (Crystal Mastrosavas) joined to provide vocals to the mix. Finally, having known Jeremy Blamey for some years, Dave recruited his talent to add Saxophone and Keyboard to complete the sound of Funk In Public.
Funk In Public are based in Melbourne, Victoria, and their style is a mixture of Funk, Soul, Blues, Jazz, Alternative and Hip-Hop. The goal of the band is to play dynamic and accurate music, while keeping the focus on live energy and enjoyment. They have recently recorded their EP at Three Phase Studios in Melbourne, and are Currently in the process of filming a Video Clip, whilst having only been playing live shows since November of 2007. They have thus far been featured on ‘NoiseTV’ (December, 2007), Triple J Unearthed, Mp3.com.au and are scheduled for numerous upcoming shows and festivals locally in Melbourne, and around Australia.
