If You Like Funk: Check Out Vulfpeck

Less we forget, this thread started by my teenage boys being willing to have me ask y'all what you thought of a band they current follow. BTW my family now calls this thread "old audio funk dudes"

@astewart8944   My recommendation of Galactic was because they are Funk but are also evolving...which is why I suggested them as a bridge group for your sons.

They will likely appreciate Childish Gambino... the "Awaken, My Love!" or Kauai albums.

Remind them that not all of Dad's audio dudes are listening to old funk. : )

@david_ten BTW I'm sitting here right now listening to the Galactic "Crazy Mongoose" CD that arrived today. My boys both sat down earlier and listened with me for a bit. Awesome. On Childish Gambino, they are fans...I will tell them you are cooler than me :-) 
Great post!

This one may make the "old audio funk dudes" cringe, but may be more in your sons’ repertoire:

Pigeons Playing Ping Pong. (start with the Psychology or Pleasure albums, if they haven’t listened prior)

BTW, great to hear that you are enjoying ’Crazy Mongoose.’

I'm always fascinated by what Roon picks on the radio when an album finishes. I just finished playing (again) Tower of Power S/T (thanks @shadorne) and Roon selected "Vein Melter" from Herbie Hancock's HeadHunters album relating it to TOP's "Just Another Day." I've included both below so you can decide whether you think they belong together:

I just finished listening to Lettuce's (2008) release called Rage!. If you like your bass front and center this is the album for you. I'm a bass fan, so it really worked for me. Although released in the last 10 years this album has a lot of the 1970s built into it IMO.
Happy listening!
