Launched in 2009, Frank’s Got The Funk is a band which treads in various genres, primarily influenced by Electronic and Progressive rock. Bjorn, the band’s front man and vocalist, started it off as a 4-piece college band, playing a very few covers and spurning out a couple of new songs. The line up, which at the time kept changing, saw the entry of Vikram (keyboardist) at an early stage. Soon after, Sajith and Shashank (bassist and drummer) stepped in to complete the picture. The latest addition to the band is Mervin Christopher (lead guitarist) who is ready and set to fill in the shoes of his predecessors. The band has yet another member - Frank. An alter-ego of the band, he writes all their songs for them. 

The band has a simple principle which they stick to when making their music – It’s all about fun and love for the music based on situations and incidents which they’ve been through . In fact, the sole motivation for the band to record and release their music is to get the music out there to the people. The surging energy and the addictive songs the band churns out are complemented by the capturing stage presence and wacky costumes, which keeps audiences enraptured and jumping. 

FGTF, as the band is popularly known, have won various competitions such as Deepwoods, Strawberry fields, NXG Rockstar , IIT Saarang and many more. After proving themselves in the inter-collegiate circle, the band progressed to playing professional gigs and live acts, headlining in different colleges.
Once the band had achieved all that they had aspired to, in the college foray, they decided to take it to the the Next Level. And that’s precisely what they did. The band’s first album was released in August 2011, aptly named the Next Level, to an overwhelming response from all quarters. An independent album, it was produced in Tobe’s Garage.

The band’s vision as far as the near future is concerned is to get their music out across the country and play professional gigs of all sorts. In the long run, they aim to hit the international stage and take it by storm!
