The Dossier

The Funky Beats Initiative is Salem, Oregon's undercover dance-floor task force, founded in 2014 by drummer Eddie "Agent Orange." Our mission: classic and modern funk, R&B, disco and pop, with a touch of hip-hop, played loud and played live until every last operative in the room is moving.

Over the years, some agents have moved on and new ones have joined the ranks, but the mission has never changed: the music, the groove and the founder who started it all.

Each member of the Initiative operates under an agent name. Identities are classified. Grooves are not.

Book us for bars, clubs, private parties, birthdays, weddings and any event that needs a serious dose of funk. Show up in spy chic or disco glam. Sequins strongly encouraged.
