Ivan Neville talks with Pollstar about his band Dumpstaphunk, the group’s upcoming new album and the “different types of funk.” You would think that being born with the last name of “Neville” would pretty much dictate a life playing music, what with The Neville Brothers as well as the individual careers of Art, Charles, Aaron and Cyril. Like his famous father Aaron and his musical uncles making up The Neville Brothers, Ivan Neville has blazed his own path in music. Founded in 2003, Dumpstaphunk quickly became a regular on the festival circuit. That is, when it’s not selling out its own headlining dates. With the band’s third studio album, Dirty Word, scheduled to drop July 30 via Louisiana Red Hot Records/E1 Distribution, Neville talked with Pollstar last week about Dumpstaphunk, saying it’s not just about funk but rock, pop and a whole lot more.
