U.S. Pipe is Funk’s United Sound Pipe, delivering a unique fusion of Funk, Hip Hop and Rock that is sure to connect with long-time fans of Pure Funk as well as inspire a new following of fans to continue Funk’s rich history.
Founder, lead guitarist and vocalist Chris “Citrus” Sauthoff had learned at the feet of Funk legends as the stage manager and a guitarist with George Clinton and the P-Funk Allstars (1995 – 2007). In 2007, they were recognized by Denver’s #1 alternative weekly, Westword, as one of the top Funk bands in their annual Music Showcase. “After seeing them at the 2007 Westword Music Showcase, I was convinced that the groove is definitely in the Pipe,” said Westword’s Jon Solomon. 2008 has yielded another nomination by Westword.
In 2008 they opened for P-Funk at the Belly Up in Aspen and at Mishawaka Amphitheatre in Bellvue. The band is currently working on their first full-length release, United Sound Pipe, due to drop by fall 2008. Rising Funk stars, U.S. Pipe’s positively inspirational pure energy blend will prove to be an auditory feast for your ear hole.
