The M.F.B.

- A high-energy throwback funk, rock, and pop show production
- Costume changes between sets
- Engagement and participation with the audience, including games
- Funktastic and danceable music performed, with a variety of original and cover songs
- A once-in-a-lifetime thrilling, over-the-top funk show experience

Over the last seven years, THE M.F.B. have laid waste to the music landscape with grooves so contagious and an over-the-top stage show that has left audiences mesmerized and funkified. Equal parts funk musicianship and excessive funk party madness, lead vocalist Parry Casto, bassist Stephen Harper, drummer Brad Kinder, trumpeter Christian Tanzey, keyboardist/guitarist Randy Gilkey, saxophonist Chris Clark, and guitarist Michael Smith unleash a unique brand of raucous party funk to any neighborhood they frequent. .
As THE M.F.B.’s leader of perpetual motion Casto, aka “Funkle Sam”, combines the theatrics of Freddie Mercury, the eccentricity of Frank Zappa, and dancing prowess of James Brown. What separates this band from others is the frenetic explosion of unending energy that exudes from a live performance from THE M.F.B.. A hedonistic crescendo of raw energy and musicianship of THE M.F.B.’s shows spill from stage to dance floor to cultivate impromptu limbo and dance competitions and an intense funky insanity that marks the band as insatiable for good times. THE M.F.B.’s shows are expectation-defying experiences ushered in by a whirlwind of funk, deft thrusting, and subtle innuendo, that broadens smiles and brings the crowds to anxiously await the opportunity to dance right back for the next show.

We prefer to be playing at a venue who already has an ample sound system with 20+ input PA/mixer with dedicated sound man to adjust accordingly to the live show.
We prefer to have lights already at venue and operation of those to be responsible by sound/lighting guy. We prefer to have a thorough sound check at least 1 hour before the scheduled performance. We prefer to have an amply sized green room available to change costumes and for leisure before and after the performance. We prefer to have complimentary drink/food at the venue if those services are available.
