Thomas Function gets the NYPD Blues!

Thomas Function is one of the current bands that if you mention to me I'll get all weak in the knees and say "OMG they are my favvvvvorite band". I get called out on this a lot, I know that I'll call lots of bands my favorite band, but that doesn't mean I don't mean it when I say it.

Thomas Function (or T-Funk, as the kids call them) are a total cute band from the cutest part of the country: The South! I love the South, for some reason, I don't know, but really, all a boy needs to do to impress me is talk about NASCAR in a drawl. I'm simple.

Thomas Function plays sweet key-board infused punk rock with a slight twang to it and seriously, if you're not booty shaking for their entire set there might be something wrong with you. I just love them. They make me smile on the inside (and on the outside).

The T-Funk boys were just in New York and played three great shows (Silent Barn, Studio @ Webster Hall, Bruar Falls), but they also had a small run-in with the cops:


Yep, that is Zach (keyboards) handing over a CD copy of "Celebration" (Thomas Function's first full-length) to the NYPD.

Here's the scoop: The Thomas Function van got into a tiny little fender bender outside of a beer distributor in Ridgewood, Queens. Thomas Function just wanted to exchange info (with the illegally parked woman) and leave, but instead the cops became involved and blah blah blah. The whole thing wasn't a big deal, but after the interrogation had ended, the police woman started to get curious about what kind of band these boys were in. They eventually offered her a CD.

Travis ran back to the car and was about to grab the new album "In The Valley of Sickness" (officially out October 13th!), but then thought better when he remembered that it features "ADP Blues", a song whose chorus includes the lyrics "the only good cop is a dead cop" (very catchy song BTW). He handed over the older CD instead and everyone had a good laugh about it. Adventures at the beer store, fun times.

Here's a "cute boy" pic of Zach and Travis in front of their van:


Here's a youtube video of their hit song "Filthy Flowers" (off of "Celebration)... because I'm still trying to figure out how to embed mp3s (e-mails with helpful information would be appreciated):


...and here are a few BamBerry pixx of the fun yet under attended show at Webster. The Barn show was better (they just kept playing all my favorite songs), but this show had better lighting:





They're on tour for a bunch more weeks! Check them out if you can!!!
