About DFC
The DFC Story Double
Funk Crunch was formed back in 1997 by co-band leaders Jon and
Laura Kuppinger. The group was started as a wild & crazy costumed club band
that played exclusively disco and funk from the 70s. The band became quite popular
and successfully rode that rhinestoned wave into the new millennium, bell-bottoms
and all. The new Millineum brought a higher level of success for DFC
as they began to perform regularly at many private events, weddings and corporate
parties in addition to their club appearances. DFCs
popularity as well as their fan base grew and they became known as a high energy,
fun party band that focused on 70s & 80s dance music. They eventually added
the talents of vocalist and entertainer David "Doc" Robinson to lead
the band on stage. Doc brought with him a broader scope of music and new level
of professionalism that gained them success in not only the private sectors, but
got them noticed in the casino and county fair circuit, resulting in playing almost
every county fair in Northern CA (including the CA State Fair) as well as most
of the casinos from Reno to Tahoe to Las Vegas. Fast forward to 2005. Seeking
a new opportunity to climb even higher, DFC
adapts and matures again and diversifies further musically adding latin, hip-hop,
R&B and rock to their well known staple of 70s & 80s dance music. But
they didnt do it alone. In 2005 DFC
enlisted the aid of Paul Orella to take over the booking and assisting in the
business management of the band. DFC gained
a new vision with the addition of a new musical director, bassist/producer/songwriter
and recording artist Darryl Anders (Bonnie Hayes, Zigaboo Modeliste, and Tower
of Power). Darryl brought with him the experience and talents of Vince Lars and
Jeff Lewis to create a powerful and dynamic horn section. Keyboardist Christian
Boyd adds all the right seasonings to the Double
Funk Crunch Party Flavor. The rock steady pulse and groovalicious
feel of Ron SnackJackson Smith on the drums keeps the dance floor packed. Topping
it all off with the soul stirring blues and r&b influenced vocals of Leah
Tysse. DFC enters 2007 with their
eyes and hearts wide open on a new mission to bring quality, high-energy entertainment
and a positive musical experience to everyone that hears them.
