Gunpoets, Sophistafunk, The Haunt, Friday, May 6, 8:00 p.m.
Funky, bass-ecstatic, and morphed in hip-hop dynamism, Ithaca’s talented collective Gunpoets, are the kind of band that brings the hardcore arm jams. The crowd will be swinging in a sea of funk moves, and then suddenly a psychedelic freak out by guitarist Eliot Rich will have people awash in acid Joker smiles. This is a talented crew, that brings a swirling mix of vibrations and intensity. Syracuse’s Sophistafunk is equally as dimensionally complex. The two bands will transform The Haunt into the ship Voyager Friday night. So be sure to grab your space helmets.
