Nerd Funk.
I hadn’t heard of it before I went to college but it’s pretty self-explanatory. A group of rhythmically-oriented, costumed goofballs making public service announcements about everything from their love for double dipping, to safe sex, to energy conservation, to Red Dog beer and excel spreadsheets.
This is Porky’s Groove Machine.
Formed in Appleton, WI and now based in Minneapolis, MN, the band has been energetically expanding their brand for years. I’ve lived with a couple of them, helped them out on tour, and sometimes sit in for sets when I can. They even played a great house show for my brother’s birthday last year!
If you like to let your hair down, dance like a squid, and goof around like nobody’s watching then be sure to check out their new album Hello My Name Is Porky’s Groove Machine. It’s out today!
Here’s their latest music video:
These guys are a hit wherever they go! Visit their website for tour information and booking.
