Tuber

TUBER is creating Vancouver Island's original Funk. The band's membership brings a rich mix of musical histories but it is the Funk that brings them together. Some influences are: James Brown, P-Funk, Red Hot Chilli Peppers and Marvin Gaye. Tuber sounds like: Me'shell meets Public Enemy over at Sly Stone's house to watch Soul Train. Bringing wit and passion to the songwriting, Tuber merges lyrics both sublime and ridiculous with their potent brand of Funk. In the summer of 2010 they released their self titled debut CD, recorded with Zak Cohen at The Woodshop Studio in Duncan BC. Tuber headlined at the 2011 Islands Folk Fest in Duncan BC closing Friday night with a transcendent set that lifted the crowd into the groove-o-sphere. Tuber's live shows are a high energy stomp with a deep, powerful groove, keeping audiences on the dance floor all night. Tuber is becoming the stuff of legend here in the Cowichan. TUBER IS: Darrell Keeler (Dick Tater): bass, vocals; Dave Hibbert (Mojo Rhizome): guitar, lap steel, vocals, Shelley (Sweet Potato) Brown: vocals, crowd wrangler, Dave Klasen (HD, Yam Jam): drums.
