Proud to be firmly installed in the new-funk movement, KUNG FU is quickly popularizing their unique sonic contribution, blurring the line between intense electro-fusion, and blistering dance arrangements.  Making fusion music “cool” again, the band draws on influences such as early Headhunters and Weather Report, and merges those ideas with a contemporary EDM informed sensibility.  Imagine 70’s funk-fusion meets a modern dance party!

Although the ensemble cast enjoys a seasoned pedigree that reads like a late-night summer festival all-star jam, this fledgling “nu-sion” project is growing a unique and rabid following by commanding audiences at theaters, clubs, and major national festivals since 2012. 

Kung Fu features Tim Palmieri (guitar & vocals), Robert Somerville (tenor sax & vocals), Beau Sasser (keyboards & vocals), Chris DeAngelis (bass guitar & vocals), and Adrian Tramontano (drums/percussion).  The powerhouse quintet’s live show has been described by critics and fans alike as “lethal funk”, “explosive”, “jaw dropping”, and “musically mesmerizing”.  For the uninitiated, the experience is typically shocking yet the focus is simple: just sit back and enjoy the ride!

Night Zero

"Night Zero - The night before the big event. The one you swear you’ll take it easy—but never do. Night Zero is the pre-party that becomes the main event, the night out you didn’t see coming but won’t soon forget. And now, it’s a band.

This rotating cast of incredible artists brings together some of the jam scene’s most revered players for a raw, unscripted throwdown that blends rock, funk, jazz, and deep improvisation with nothing off-limits.

The core lineup is a one-of-a-kind fusion of styles and personalities, rarely seen together on one stage. Rob Compa (Dopapod), known for his mind-bending guitar work and precision improvisation. Gubb (Twiddle), whose unmistakable bass tone and groove drive every jam with grit and finesse. Adrian Tramontano (Kung Fu/Twiddle), a rhythmic powerhouse with jaw-dropping chops and relentless energy. Leon Campos (Dwight & Nicole), whose warm, soulful keys bring depth and color to every note.

These are players who don’t just complement each other—they push each other, unlocking something new every time they play. The kind of chemistry you can’t plan, only discover—when the right musicians collide at the right moment.

Night Zero —never planned, always unforgettable."
