Artist History Animal 44 was born, then reborn as Out Of Orbit. Brain child of Todd Bugbee a guitarist who made his name in the group the Orbitones from Humboldt County in 1994-1998. Since graduating from HSU Todd has succeeded in keeping the concept alive...the mission: to funk the northcoast! ....the current line-up of OUT OF ORBIT is the best representation so far. Heavy hitters Ryan Newman and Joe Cohen have been added and the tunes have taken on a new life...Todd Bugbee "..the addition of Ryan and Joe has really had a major effect on the music, we are able to use everyone's diversity to make each song a musical journey..." After a recent wedding the group felt it was time to bring the music to the scene. Ryan Newman "...without effort, the music started taking on a identity all it's own.." After making a anolog 4 track recording of seven tunes and sending it around the Bay area they now have played at Tongue and Groove, Curve Bar, New Georges, Peri's and the Inn of the Beggining, and opened for Funk legends Zigaboo Modeliste and Melvin Sparks...all performances getting great reviews.

Press Reviews From Shindigproductions.com: Animal 44(Out of Orbit) These gentlemen hit the San Francisco funk scene one year ago and have been spreading their vintage funk-jazz grooves around town ever since. James Brown, Freddie Hubbard, Grant Green, and Miles Davis’ influence can be heard swirling in and out of Animal 44’s(Out of Orbit) excellent old school sound. 'they were crazy dudes....' stoned dude in front row of Tongue and Groove
