Family FUNKtion and the Sitar Jams truly is a family affair, a group of brothers devoted to creating a new musical experience with a combination of psychedelic and classical influences. Formed a lifetime ago—or three lifetimes, to be correct— when the Padmanabha brothers were “rockn’ around the house,” Family FUNKtion has been steadily working on their signature sound on a level with which few bands can compare. Rock, funk, folk, and Indian styles come together, creating music that is groovy and modern but ethnically traditional all the same. Formerly of the group Omkara (which played much more traditional stuff), the brothers—Ravi, Naryan, and Aneal—wanted to take their act into the club scene. They started to play bars and other venues incorporating western instruments—on which they are all three well trained—without laying down the sitar. The trio plays at Soundlab on Saturday (May 10), at 9pm, with special guests the 12/8 Path Band.
