Spawned at last summer's Universal Church
of Love and Music Funk Festival, brand-spankin'-new funk trio,
Headtronics, gave funk fans a taste of their collaborative
efforts this past April. Named by legendary funk bassist Bootsy
Collins, Headtronics consists of three of today's best touring
funk musicians, including Freekbass (7 time Cincinnati music
award winner), turntablist extraordinaire DJ Logic, and keyboardist
Steve Molitz (Particle, Phil Lesh and Friends).

After a mind-blowing on-stage jam session,
the chemistry between these three musicians was undeniable.
A band would be born. "It turned out to be one of those
magical musical moments, so we decided to play some full shows
together," said Freekbass. Funk and electronica fans
everywhere should keep an eye and an ear out for Headtronics,
one of the most exciting new projects to hit the scene in
years.

While
traditionally Headtronics is DJ Logic, Freekbass, and Steve
Molitz, the cast of characters is ever revolving. As each
band member leads their own band outside of Headtronics, and
given the improvisational nature of the group, it is not unusual
for the lineup to change from gig to gig. The band has been
blessed to have Hall of Fame keyboardist and legendary funk
master Bernie Worrell as a special guest on select shows.
Other band members and guests have already graced the stage
with Headtronics at festivals including Scott Metzger (Rana),
Fareed Haque (Garaj Mahal and the Flat Earth Ensemble), Adam
Dietch (Soulive, Pretty Lights) and others have joined the
mayhem. You never know what type of celebratory sounds might
come from this band. Never before has a Simon Says band generated
the buzz and hype that surrounds Headtronics from its inception
and into the future.
