Sophistafunk brings “The unstoppable Funk Hip Hop dance party” back to Albany and it will be a must see show for sure .
From underground shows to international festivals, Sophistafunk has been described as “Rage Against the Machine meets The Roots, dipped in P-Funk.” They’ve also become widely known on the touring circuit as a rare Hip Hop meets live electronic jam band, performing multiple sets at Electric Forest and Camp Bisco (USA), as well as BoomTown and Shambala (UK), to name a few. They’re well known from New York to New Orleans, and have particularly strong followings in California, Colorado, Michigan, New England, and the Great Northwest, among others.
The band is rooted in undeniable musicianship and authenticity, blending intoxicating beats with mind-expanding flows.

They blend genres as a broader analogy for people coming together, leaving audiences with an undeniable afterglow of funky positivity. For years, Sophistafunk has been pioneers on the live music circuit, unafraid to push boundaries with their sounds and their messages. And now the whole world is finding out. Catch a show, and join the party!

A slick mash-up of hip-hop, neo-soul, R&B and rock that’s been compared to The Roots, The ILL FUNK Ensemble has been described as “soul for the masses” (Technorati.com), “airtight on all levels” (JamSphere Magazine), and “brilliant” (The Signal Magazine). ILL FUNK has spent the last 17 years performing all around the country, sharing stages with Grammy winners, creating award-winning albums, and being repeatedly mentioned as one of the best bands in the Albany, NY area.
