Bubonik Funk, Public Speakers

When: Sat., Dec. 31 2011

BUBONIK FUNK This Charlotte indie quartet makes guitar-driven soul with, as the name points out, a slant toward funk. Formed in 2006, the band went against the grain by shunning viral releases of its first project and has since worked to advanced beyond being another jam or groove band. Set to release their third album in 2012, the band has this show at home before gallivanting the Southeast in January. Public Speakers is also on the bill. (Mike McCray)
