With over 20 years of experience in high-voltage funk infusion, the eight-piece band has carved a new path of live entertainment. The engagement, the hilarity, the precision and execution have heralded these manic Funk Bots with eight studio albums, two JUNO nominations, three Western Canadian Music Awards, and a rap sheet of positive reviews. Their JUNO-nominated album Sweat (2017) and a collaboration with funk legend Bootsy Collins are among the highlights of a catalogue that continues with their latest release, Force Majeure (2025). Over the last 20 years, the band has toured premiere festivals across the globe in Canada, the USA, Taiwan, and all the way to the UN headquarters in Mali, Africa. In the words of frontman & drummer Tayo Branston: "Let's Funkin' GO!!" DJ YAWNInstagramJan Orsag, aka DJ YAWN, is a Czech-born, Vancouver-based DJ and producer injecting a fresh pulse into the city's electronic underground. With mentorship from ill.Gates and collaboration with PAV4N of Foreign Beggars, he's carved out a sound anchored in percussive rhythms, dub aesthetics, and a gritty edge informed by remix culture. His music draws from contemporary bass, dub traditions, and diasporic club culture—shaping a style that hits both cerebral and physical frequencies. CHRIS CUOTOInstagramJUNO-nominated percussionist Chris Couto brings decades of stage experience and a deep command of African, Brazilian, and Latin percussion to every performance. Vancouver-based and internationally toured, he's performed for Her Majesty the Queen and shared stages with artists including DJ Premier, Booker T. Jones, Ozomatli, and The Wailers. Chris delivers high-energy, genre-spanning sets that move audiences and elevate any lineup.
