Funk band The Cool profile

The Cool aren’t just the hottest nu Funk band on the block they are the hottest band on the planet.

Forget Vulfpeck, Durand Bernarr, Free Nationals, PJ Morton, Gramatik; the Cool are next level - playing Gen Z Funk for millennials. Nu Phunk, Über phonk, skunk funk for charged Gen Aplha.

They’re keepin’ it real with urban gush muthafuckas.

They be from Cincinatti, South Africa, Jamaica, Cotton Edmonds and Vlarg. Slipping in and out of alt real, scraping old school funk vibes.

A couple are nepo babies carrying on ancestral tradition for the groove. Jaylan Kinderknecht is the grandson of Jimi Hendrix traced through three generations of super groupies. From Kate Hudson to Penny Lane Elektra has impeccable lineage to Rock Royalty with Noel Gallagher - or was it Liam?
