Bio
Funktion began as the brainchild of Tuna Fortuna and Alex Reeder who were feeling suffocated in a jammy/emo world that was seriously lacking in the lower end. Their mutual love for bass attracted them to the bass-heavy genre of Funk. This was mixed with their admiration from legendary bassists such as Flea of the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Mike Watt of the Minutemen and fIREHOSE.
With this image in mind they called up Alastair Steward, childhood friend of David Fortuna who said he would love to play some funk. Alastair comes from an Industrial background in part thanks to his brother Zmar who is the keys/synth player in industrial/electronica band Helltrash. Alastair's playing adds a heavier and more rockin element to the funky bass and vocals of Tuna and Alex.
Finally, Matt Towery was discovered when Alex and Tuna saw him preform at his senior talent show at Pace Academy. Towelz agreed right away and added his rock, solid beats to the mix.
