Eight Gigs: Sophistafunk

Even though Sammies Hall of Famers Zuhg moved to Oregon, they're still booking shows regularly at places like Dive Bar, Bar 101 and Harlow's Restaurant & Nightclub. This week, they bring New York funk fusion trio Sophistafunk to Dive Bar. Sophistafunk may be “Guy Fieri's favorite band” (at least according to a Buzzfeed “article” last year), but don't let that hyperbolic quasi-journalistic, logically leaping statement fool you. This group is more “awesome sauce” than “donkey sauce.” Multi-instrumentalist Adam Gold and drummer Emanuel Washington create funky organic beats and Jack Brown raps over them—kind of like the Roots meet G. Love. Sacto's Saint Solitaire opens. 1016 K Street, www.sophistafunkband.com.
