A to Z Challenge: D is to Dumpstaphunk

A great thing about the A to Z Challenge is that is gives you a chance to write about some of your favorite things. Yesterday I wrote about one of my favorite musicals and today I am going to post about one of my favorite bands of this millennium.

Today's post is about Dumpstaphunk, a funk rock band out of New Orleans. You may not of herd about them, which is fine I certainly will introduce the to you. The band features two generations of one of the best known musical families from New Orleans the Neville family. The band was founded by Aaron Neville's son Ivan Neville who has played with Neville Brothers, The Rolling Stones, Bonnie Raitt, and more. Ivan has his cousin Ian playing guitar with Dumpstaphunk.

Sometimes you just have to "Put it in the Dumpsta"..


Here the are the first time I saw them performing James Brown's "Camel Walk"..


Let's "Turn This Thing Around"...


Here is some fresh Funk, featuring the talented Trombone Shorty


Hope you enjoyed my funky little post and stayed tuned for an exciting E post coming soon!

Wow, I was actually very surprised by this band. Wasn't sure what to expect.
They seem like a great live band. Certainly one I would watch at Summerfest.
Hope things in the A-Z and BOTB world are going well for you.
Keep up the great work.

I've been aware of the Neville's for a long time, but this band is new to me. Judging from the clips they are a tight funky band. Good stuff!
