Vulfpeck is one of the most popularly mysterious bands to recently emerge in the funk scene. If you head over to their website, you’ll find little-to-no information about the band, except for a short bio that reads: “Vulfpeck is a half-Jewish post-geographic rhythm section formed in Southeast Michigan. Originally studio musicians at Vulf Records, Jack Stratton, Theo Katzman, Woody Goss & Joe Dart went independent in 2011.”
With only a handful of shows last year, including two sold-out shows at Brooklyn Bowl and an appearance on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert, the world is still learning to love Vulfpeck and their quirky ways.
Earlier today, they released a music video for “Welcome to Vulf Records” from their 2015 release Thrill of the Arts, which reveals a few more joking details about the band. “vulf records was founded on oswego st in ann arbor mi,” it informally begins. “vulfpeck has recorded fewer #1 hits than the wrecking crew the funk brothers the swampers combined,” it continues, perhaps making fun of their fans obsessive attraction to the band.
Each member is subsequently introduced, “joe dart is regarded as one of the best fender bass players of his age bracket,” “woody goss makes the quick costume change from the vibes to the rhodes,” “drummer, theo katzman, can be heard *singing* on ‘back pocket’ and ‘christmas in LA’,” “jack stratton released VULF COMPRESSOR with goodhertz in 2015 / more products to come!” and “joey dosik (featured performer) awakes from his slumber to bless the track.” To learn more about the band who stole our hearts, watch their new video below:
Quickly emerging on the scene, Vulfpeck will be making an appearance at Fool’s Paradise this weekend in St. Augustine, FL.
