William Thompson Funk Experiment

Who is William Thompson? Is he human? Is he a businessman? or is he a confidence man? But no... really. William Thompson Funk Experiment is a Massachusetts based psychedelic-alternative-futurefunk band. Featuring William Thompson playing various roles including: mad scientist, Cactus Jack, the unsuspecting Johnny, Dr Doctor, and some sort of businessman. His foundation is built on the solid grooves of the experiment.

Once upon a time we started out as a joke band called What the Funk. After a few shows people started to really dig what we were doing, so we moved away from the joke and began a trek through absolute seriousity... 

As the band progressed, we changed the name to WTfunk, I guess it sounded a bit more professional. One night our good friend Mike Henderson announced us as the William Thompson Funk Experiment. We liked it, and the rest is history.

William Thompson Funk Experiment has become quite the spectacle. A uniquely interactive show experience featuring a group of musical talents that put high stock in making sure you leave feeling uplifted and truly entertained. The band delivers tight hard-hitting original tunes that have a way of pulling fans right into their fantasy laced world of fun and bewilderment. WTFeX invites you to leave your worries at the doorstep and come and get down.
