Name: Phunk Junkeez Type: group City/State/CountryPhoenix, Arizona Genre/Style: rap / rock / hard / hip-hop |
Formed in 1991, these pioneers quickly became an underground phenomenon; fusing non-conformist funk with the relatively "new" sounds of hip-hop and rap, reinforced with good ol' rock n' roll.
In the early days, the PHUNK JUNKEEZ would break into a warehouse and perform. The police would arrive soon after and threaten to throw them all in jail. Soulman recalls, "We would fire off another song and then bolt out the back door. Our friends would run out the front, and we'd meet up later at Burger King and collect our money."
Phunk Junkeez are now a nationally-recognized act. Numerous track have appeared in movies and compilations/soundtracks. They are currently on tour supporting the new album "Sex, Drugs & Rap 'N' Roll"
