Fresh off of recent sold-out performances with 311 and an appearance at the Electric Forest Festival, New Orleans prog-funk quintet Earphunk will bring their summer tour to The Lyric for a performance Thursday, Sept. 10.

Earphunk is an ensemble of 20-somethings quickly making a name for themselves on the festival circuit and live music scene with jam-inspired hard-hitting funk tunes. Like George Clinton observed about the group … “Y’all ain’t your average white band!”

The band has hit the road to support the release of their third LP, Sweet Nasty, with two-months of dates including shows with the Kyle Hollingsworth Band.

Sweet Nasty featured technically inspired jams and high-energy funk. It was recorded over the past year at Studio in the Country in the band’s home state in-between multiple national and regional tour runs. Fans can download an exclusive live recording of “Saura”, a new track from the album, at the newly redesigned earphunk.com.

Tickets to the 8 p.m. show at The Lyric are $12
