What does Harlem know that the Brooklyn crowd doesn't? In short, Sublunar Minds - a blend of rock, funk, and thoroughly permeating quirkiness, and a return to greasy grooves and all around good times.

The music of the Harlem based band drips in rock and roll spontaneity, funk energy, and oozes groove.  The soulful trumpet and down-and-dirty harmonica  combined with idiosyncratic lyrics and vocals suggest a world where an unholy inhuman hybrid of M Doughty, David Byrne, and Donald Fagen front a band whose members are moonlighting from regular duties alternatively backing Al Green and Bruce Springsteen.

Originally from Texas, singer Ben Cockerham spent years working the bar and roadhouse circuit, paying dues and honing sharp performance skills for any situation.  After moving to New York, he connected with local East Village harmonica legend Frank Vigilante and local bass monster Damian Peters, and Italian born drummer Sebastiano Agostini, creating an intelligent, jazz influenced brand of funk rock.

High energy shows to packed clubs in Harlem and around New York have given Sublunar Minds a reputation as one of the most exciting young bands on the scene.  The mission is simple: grooves and good times for everyone.   Bloggers have called Sublunar Minds' songs "music to put you in orbit," and asserted "this is a band that defies any categorization other than 'talented' or 'good.'"
