Poets of Rythm, A German Funk Band - Rindge Leaphart comments



While listening to random tunes on Pandora, I came across a band by the name of Poets of Rythm. The tune  in question was Fondle Rock.  These gents came together in the 90's and focused on reproducing the Funky sounds of the 60-70's.  I've listened to a few of their other cuts and they sound pretty good.  It also seems as if their music has been released by Daptone Records, which is also a throwback to the Funky sounds of the 60's and 70's.  I've included a couple of links below that provide and overview of the band and samples of the their music.

Enjoy!
