Funkadelicatessen?

Funkadelicatessen delivers instrumental music for fans of funk, retro instrumentals, jam bands and psychedelia looking for a taste of the exotic. Funkadelicatessen is Mike "064" Freeman on guitar, bassist Eric "Steiny" Steinberg, keyboardist Brian Douglas and Richard Freeman on drums. Funkadelicatessen's musicians are veterans of several bands that have played in local venues including Jupiter, Boom Boom Room, Red Devil Lounge, Berkeley Birdland, Pacific Coast Brewery, the On Broadway and many others.

Guitarist 064 previously played with the Seething Brunswicks and (the real) Process, a band that performed a heady mΓ©lange of rock, post-industrial funk, fake ethnic, experimental and improvised music. He also played guitar with the space jam band Neurohumors. He played guitar and composed for the post-punk band the Artichokes and created music and wrote for the political comedy group the Plutonium Players. He has recorded extensively, created several multi-media performance spectacles and performed in a variety of Bay Area rock clubs.

Eric "Steiny" Steinberg rose up through the "Rubber" music underground scene in Los Angeles and the Bay Area, with notable stints playing with Wounded Salad and Billy Spacetime and the Spansules before being recuited by Funkadelicatessen.

Richard Freeman AKA Rich Freek has toured with Broadway's Flying Karamazov Brothers, and performed with many Bay Area jazz stalwarts including Jamie Davis (vocalist, Basie Big Band), pianist and author Kevin Fellezs, pianist Stephen McQuarry (Resonance Jazz Ensemble), saxophonist Andres Soto, pianist Mark Little, pianist Michael Smolens, bassist Dan Seamans, bassist and author Barry Green, and the vocal ensemble Con Alma. Richard also performed with The Henchmen of Paradise, a spinoff of Craig "Bonzo" Bonner's Bankrupt Sugar Daddies, and played with 064 as the first drummer in the early 1980s band the Artichokes.

Brian Douglas AKA Brain Dog's  studied classical piano as a child and his studies continued as he earned a BA degree in music at San Francisco State University. He also played Farfisa organ in garage bands in his teens and jammed with his guitarist brother and friends. After college Brain Dog joined 064 Freeman's band the Artichokes, which also included Funkadelicatessen drummer Richard Freeman in its first year. He remained with the band for five years and is featured on several of the recordings heard on the band's recently re-released I Live by the Freeway album. Brain Dog subsequently played in several other bands including World VI, Gotta Wanna and the Ripchords.
