The idea of the Funk Machine was born out of the combination of two experimental bands that had just kicked out of the garage and onto the stage. Milind found a comfort zone like no other in funk rock, and turned to Yudhvir who was part of a four-piece funk group.
The band then grew with Preran on drums, Siddharth Mandrekar on bass and Swarna Rajesh on vocals (initially).
One of the band's greatest moments was when they all sat down together and wrote a song three hours before a show at Goa.
Over the past months, the band has grown in their perspectives and playing, working on a few covers and a lot of new material, with Prashant Gnanamuthu (on bass) pushing them all to new limits of musical prowess.
And keeping up with these leaps and bounds is vocal powerhouse, Jesley Antony.
