Funkadelic Astronaut
Funkadelic Astronaut is a New Jersey based Funktronica trio. The group is composed of Ryan Gavin (Keyboards), Sam Luba (Bass), and Kevin O’Neill (Drums). For over a decade, Funkadelic Astronaut has been playing live music in the East Coast jam band scene. The boys had a brief identity crisis where they renamed the band to Mission Control, but in 2025 they came to their senses. The band is known for their heavy improvisational style: mixing compositions with extended jam sections, never playing a song the same way twice.
