"Needless to say, '2020' was an impactful time for all of us. Given that our band couldn’t rehearse or perform, each instrument was tracked individually, at separate times and in separate locations. We didn’t get to play '2020' live until life started returning to normal. So we were extremely excited to re-record this song as it was intended, with all the intensity and inspiration of a live performance. We are incredibly grateful to play our music together again, and we are incredibly excited to share it with you." - Evan Weiss, Composer
Ben Bohorquez- Sax
Ethan Ditthardt- Guitar

I've yet to discover a new band on the GroundUP label that I haven't loved, and this is no exception. Any band featuring Wes on bass is guaranteed killer.

[@onionboy1405]

My favorite genetically enhanced cybernetic supermen.

[@milkwater1204]

Oh, I'm SO glad the Funky Knuckles are still making music

[@uniqdzign2]

Ethan Ditthardt, guitar, fantastic playing and love the shades of Pat Metheny! Great band!

[@TheFunkyKnuckles]

You’re not even going to mention his luscious locks?

[@machinate]

was going to mention this too. It's so lyrical. Like Metheny meets Shubh Saran.

Maaaan I miss seeing yall bros. Yall still out here causing musical chaos and eargasms to the ears of planet earth.

[@AmbassadorJenks7086]

I've been on the road for the last 42 years and don't have a lot of time to seek out new groups. A friend of mine an awesome bass player in his own right. Not to name drop but he plays for a high level group for the last 50 plus years. He highly recommended The Funky Knuckles. Dudes I was blown away. 🤯🤯Can't wait to get into you guys more when time allows. Thanks B. for widening my Horizon's. Soooooo cool 😎

[@TheFunkyKnuckles]

Thanks @davejenkins7086 ! But please go ahead and name drop. We wanna know who you’re talking about.

Dat bass is THIKKK

[@atoexodus]

Amazing band

[@michaelgwfrogwelge]

Been listening to them for years, but this is the first time I've seen them. Had no idea Wes Stephenson was in the band.

[@TheFunkyKnuckles]

Thanks bud! Wes is one of the original Knuckles.

[@milkwater1204]

​@The Funky Knuckles you guys are elite

[@michaelanderson4265]

💯

[@asimplenameichose151]

Pre-ordered :) Looking forward to the release! Excellent playing gentlemen.

[@TheFunkyKnuckles]

Thanks! 👊😎👊

[@jonbeardsley23]

Just met the drummer in a bar in Seattle. Can't believe I randomly ran into such a great musician. Looking to get some merch to show support! I wish I could find a vinyl of their music!

[@user-zn6fp2su1z]

Intro of the first 1:20 is the best reminder of so many other artists... drums and horns ❤

[@frankierodriguez8661]

Awsome band. The bass player, Wes right? is for me with Travis Carlton and Adrien Feraud the best in the business today. The whole band is excellent but this guy really got me. Beautiful. I discovered the channel because of him and Snarky Puppy and well, whoever is behind, congratulations. good taste all over the place.

[@sambarker6141]

For sure, groundup has some incredibly talented musicians. Right now my top two bass players are Sam Wilkes and MonoNeon, check them out if you haven't heard of them

[@frankierodriguez8661]

@@sambarker6141 Thanks man. I'll definitely look into it

[@garethferguson4434]

KZbin’s ad placement in this song is brutal

[@Xtabber]

Loved the song; hated the year. You’ve redeemed 2020.

[@TheFunkyKnuckles]

Yeah, it was a rough year. Glad you didn’t hate the song.

Loving it!!🎉

Hi Mom! -Bb

[@ytnamax]

Sudden association: guy with guitar looks exactly like Jay character (Jason Mewes) from "Jay and Silent Bob" movies by Kevin Smith.

[@TheFunkyKnucklesDallas]

😂😂😂😂

[@user-zn6fp2su1z]

The first 1:20 took me back 😊

[@bmprrr]

Одна из лучших фьюжн групп в мире сейчас фо рил

[@TheSilenceIsBroken1]

When are they coming to NY?

[@RotoTomDrums]

Lots of kurt rosenwinkel vibes coming from the guitarist. Good stuff though

[@duotippss]

Le sax tenor joue comme avec un sax bariton ce n'est absolumenr pas génial

[@TheFunkyKnucklesDallas]

You’re also not great, probably. It’s science, man.

Perso j'adore, ce morceau est de la bombe !!!
