Find your people. Feel the Peel. HISTORY: Fuzz, Jen, Eric and Benj first got together in the summer of 1995 as a group of like-minded musicians hailing from New York and Connecticut, joining forces to play Funk, Soul and R&B covers from the 60’s and 70’s for the pure love of that music. As the band members’ chemistry became apparent, all other projects fell to the wayside so that they could focus on writing and arranging original material and eventually form Deep Banana Blackout. The band soon became a highly acclaimed musical force on the East Coast underground live music scene, with their soulful groove embedded in the roots of funk and weaving their own compositions, extended improvisations and music from other artists such as Sly and the Family Stone, James Brown, Stevie Wonder, and Parliament/Funkadelic.
