"Best Soul/R&B Band, 2006 Seattle Weekly Music Awards

Seattle Weekly

Having band members named Mr. T, Moose, Low End Theory, Funk Doc, Sasquatch, and Da Funkscribe means you best be one funky band, and Altered States of Funk definitely pull it off. With each one exploring their own little improvisational niche, Altered States of Funk achieve jams that are equal parts Southern soul and hip-shaking grooves. They made audiences get on their feet at Nectar, EMP's Liquid Lounge, and Tost. Throughout the month of May, you can catch the band at 9 p.m. Wednesdays in the Musiquarium Lounge above the Triple Door. BRIAN J. BARR

Music's good and best of all, free

The Herald

Everett's waterfront series features Altered States of Funk Thursday. The band won the Soul/R&B category of Seattle Weekly's 2006 music awards poll.
The seven musicians feature tight arrangements, rhythms and grooves, screaming horns and original songs, as well as nicknames such as Mr. T., Low End Theory and Sasquatch. For ASF, it's the music and the message. Bring your dancing shoes."

"'Shaft'-school soul"

Bumbershoot 2005

Thousand Sons

Local funkmeisters, Altered States of Funk laid down some stone grooves, man. There was a serious moment when lead singer Winfield Ezell Jr. took time out to acknowledge the tragedy in New Orleans in a freestyle spoken word jam."
