The New Mastersounds – February 5th – Barkley Ballroom

Estimated read time 3 min read

Summit County has become a high desert of live music since the closing of Three20south in Breckenridge in May 2014 and now Barkley Ballroom in Frisco is filling that void in a very positive way. The ceiling is low, the music is loud, and the atmosphere is ripe with sweat and energy. The New Mastersounds made a stop at the Barkley on their winter tour providing for a fantastically funky Thursday night that brought a near sell-out crowd to the Frisco underground.

The Birth Of The Church Of Funkentology

Estimated read time 6 min read

The Church of Funkentology is a religion by definition but a social organization by design. Our mission is to promote, protect, preserve and spread The Funk. We are in our formative stages, but our long term goal is for The Church of Funkentology to be the definitive resource and temple for The Funk. Listening to Funk music, or any music for that matter, is our act of devotion. We worship in front of stages and speakers. There is no “god,” but a central spiritual power we turn to, and that is The Funk. The Funk is a spirit, an essence and a fiery force.
