Live at Lakeview: Dirty Revival, Funktronik

Live at Lakeview presents Dirty Revival and Funktronik.

Fronted by Portland native, Sarah Clarke, whose powerful vocals and engaging stage presence command attention, the band includes Evan “Evvnflo” Simko (guitar + MC), Terry Drysdale (drums), Jon Shaw (bass), Ben Turner (keyboards), Chris Hardin (tenor sax), Thomas Barber (trumpet). Many of them friends since high school, each player is as good as the next and all of them exceptional in their own way, Dirty Revival functions like a well-oiled machine with every part doing exactly what it’s supposed to. Dirty Revival’s democratic approach to music shows in its songwriting and original music incorporating several different genres. At times showcasing its unique take on the soul and funk sounds of the ’60s and ’70s, then straddling the line between rock band and pop band. The care the group takes in arranging original music is reflected in its cover choices, and it’s known for dynamic recreations of classic songs by artists ranging from NIN to Black Sabbath and Rage Against the Machine.

Funktronik is a homegrown South Lake Tahoe band, a three-piece funk, blues and rock outfit, “playing everyone’s favorites from the ’60s to now with our own funky twist.” Previous venue hotspots for Funktronik include Whiskey Dick’s Saloon, Base Camp Pizza and Outpost Brewing Co. at Base Camp Hotel in Stateline. The band is well known and well liked by the locals crowd.
