Biography

Phat Phunktion was formed by a group of University of Wisconsin-Madison music students in 1996. They built a loyal following of listeners throughout the United States and around the world. A nine-piece tour de force that combines the polish of top 40 with the smooth feeling of 60’s soul and the raw groove of 70’s funk. Their self-produced CDs have been popular all over the world, and their live shows sell-out virtually everywhere they perform. Phat Phunktion has shared the stage with musical legends The Temptations, Tower of Power, WAR, Cameo, Morris Day and the Time, The Original “P” (featuring original members of Parliament), The Average White Band, Chick Corea, Taj Mahal, Rick James, Clyde Stubblefield, The Brothers Johnson, Soulive, Willy Porter, and Kool and the Gang. Phat Phunktion: Live at the High Noon is the band’s fifth album, and first live album. It is also their first live concert video as it is also released as a blu-ray disc with all thirteen songs in HD video. The album is a combination of original songs off of their critically acclaimed studio albums: Real Life.:.High Fidelity (2011), You and Me (2004), and Soul Juice (2005), also including their rendition of the Earth Wind and Fire classic “Jupiter.”
