New Orleans funk powerhouse
Dumpstaphunk has just unleashed a rendition of Buddy Miles’s 1973 acid-fueled blues anthem “United Nations Stomp, the third single from ‘Where Do We Go From Here,’ their first full-length album in seven years. Ignited by the exploding lead guitar of special guest Marcus King, the epic jam invokes the vintage spirit of Jimi Hendrix and Cream coupled with a touch of urgent musical angst that could be easily playlist alongside modern contemporaries Rage Against The Machine or Red Hot Chili Peppers. The track, mixed by Beastie Boys producer, Mario Caldato Jr., also features guitar legend Waddy Wachtel (Keith Richards, Rolling Stones, Stevie Nicks) in a crescendoing super-jam that further cements Dumpstaphunk’s status as the heaviest funk-rock band in the land, as they gear up to release what is undeniably the most powerful and politically pointed album of their career. Watch the official lyric video HERE.

Dumpstaphunk announces their new album
Where Do We Go From Here, set to release on April 23, 2021 (via Mascot Label Group / The Funk Garage). The release marks the band’s first full-length album in seven years, and undeniably the most powerful and politically pointed of their career. Previously released singles include “Justice 2020,” recently called one of the “Best Songs of 2020” by the New York Times, and the contemplative title-track “Where Do We Go From Here.” The record is a sharply relevant statement, even more-so than the group anticipated during writing and recording sessions just prior to the unprecedented events of the last year.
NSU
Despite the COVID-19 pandemic, devastating weather events and a massive shift in operations and day-to-day procedures, Northwestern State University enrolled a record number of students in 2020, introduced new degree programs and developed innovative ways to ensure the continuation of learning in a year fraught with uncertainties. “2020 was a year in which we had no choice but to introduce new and ground-breaking ways of living, learning and helping our communities,” said NSU President Dr. Chris Maggio. “Making hard decisions in unpredictable circumstances is always difficult, but we were guided by maintaining the health and safety of our university family and how we could help those in need.”
