In Dog We Trust

You've been asking for it, you've been complaining that you haven't seen our bassist philosophizing on life and stabbing is too long- but your wait is nearly over! Big Dog with Duane Etienne is starting Season 2 in just a couple more weeks. Dog is not messing around this season, and as true fans of Ill Funk, you'll be the first to know what he's pissed about now.

Coming up this month we've got Red Square on February 10th, a private party on the 12th, our return to The Caboose in Gloversville on the 17th, travel to Vermont to tear down the Red Fox Inn on the 18th, and finish out the month on Cape Cod at the famous Lost Dog Pub in Orleans, MA. We absolutely can't wait to party with all of our new friends and fans in the month of February, so pick a date or two and hit us up!

Peace!

We've also been hard at work writing new material for our next studio album and we've already shot the second season of Big Dog with Duane Etienne. More hilarious than ever, we get Dog out of the chair and into the world, with cameos and more beer than ever. You don't want to miss it!

Finally, we hope all of you have a fantastic 2012 and we hope we see you soon at an Ill Funk show!
