Sonic Spank

Sonic Spank was formed in early 2009 by two members of the Philadelphia based electro-jazz-rock band, MJ PROJECT. The duo seamlessly blends House, Hip Hop, Jungle, Drum & Bass, Jazz, Funk and Dubstep beats while incorporating live keyboard and guitar improvisation on top. Band members Ian McGuire and Ben Karp have been friends since Preschool and have collaborated on music since the beginning of High School which explains their undeniable chemistry on stage and innocent perversion. Sonic Spank penetrates the line between the craft of DJing and virtuoso instrumental musicianship.

Sonic Spank has already made appearances at regional clubs, parties, radio stations and festivals with an enthusiastic response from audiences. So far, SONIC SPANK has been billed with major national/international acts including Crystal Method, The New Deal, Infected Mushroom, Pnuma Live PA and The Egg.

Additionally, Ian McGuire and Ben Karp have collaborated onstage with members of The Disco Biscuits, Brothers Past, Lotus, Future Rock, Orchard Lounge, Biodiesel, KJ Sawka, Breakscience, The Pnuma Trio, Sonkin, Lo Life, RAQ, Calvin Weston and The Ally to name a few.
