“Saw the band play for the first time at the Rickfest festival and was knocked out by the performance. A truly classy act with 3 talented musicians. The highlight of the festival for this ole geezer. Cheers.”

“WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What a Live Music Night we had in the Stags Head last Thursday evening with our two new Corsham Live Music Night (CLMC) bands taking the first two slots, followed by a sensation! The headline act was the Funkinsteins http://www.funkinsteins.co.uk/ and ya had to be there to believe it! WOW!!!! sums it up….. Sally on lead guitar and vocals was brilliant and had everyone goggle-eyed, Alex is one of the best bass guitarist’s I’ve ever seen (and I’ve seen a few!) with her funky riffs and driving beat pushing our fantastic (as always!) drummer Jon Carter to produce another one of his brilliant performances – he must have covered more mileage than on the clock of his old Golf TDI. It’s a night I will never forget and makes it great to be part of the CLMC setup. ”

“There's funk and there's funk but just when you thought you'd heard all kinds of funk, up pop The Funkinsteins and their personalised and highly addictive brand of funk opens your ears to the freshest and funkiest of funk you're ever likely to hear. The Funkinsteins don't just play any old funk they might have discovered rummaging through the discarded vinyl from the seventies, they breathe funk, it escapes from every pore and fills the room with an encapsulating atmosphere of three people delivering everything it says on the tin and more. ”

Places We ve Played

“Mix some major vocals,blend in ample amounts of dangerous bass and fold in serious guitar noise. There you have it. The Steins best served totally chilled." Raheela Raza-Syed”

Venue

“Flat out from the word go, the girls (and boy), played a set that had the crowd on fire. A variety of sounds make up the Funkinsteins act but they are all welded together in such a way as to make the show one big sound experience”

Billy

“From the opening notes of Get up and Dance, the Funkinsteins had the Fleece audience by the throat, and they shook them around and wrung them out.”

Bristol Bands
