"Three of us in this seven-piece funk, soul, and R&B band are biotech research scientists, including one PhD," says Funky Pox singer/guitarist Fred Kokaska. "The name originated from a lyric in the 1973 Tower of Power song 'Soul Vaccination.' We promote our band as having infectious grooves, and not just because the bassist, keyboardist, and guitarist spend our daytime hours researching viruses and enzymes."
