The Funky HUmans?

we have a drummer and a bassist who are looking to play/make some music with some like minded individuals...we love to play funk music but we are influenced by a lot of people...the meters, the jb's, breakestra, phish, the dead, mmw, p funk, keller williams, tower of power, bisco, fleck tones, etc. to name a few... were trying to get the ball rolling on something good here...all kinds of instruments/musicians are welcome...as long as you remember that you can't hold no groove if you aint got no pocket.
