Today I’m hitting you with a double shot of psychedelic West Coast funk. Along with Orgone (see my post from earlier today), Monophonics are in the vanguard of current California acts that are bringing their own style of psychedelic funk and soul to the rest of the world. If you think funk is dead (see Funkatopia’s recent conversation starting article), these bands will definitely prove you wrong!
