Pandora is best known as a contestant on the smash hit RuPaul’s Drag Race (Season 2) on Logo and VH1. Despite not winning, Pandora proved to be the break-out star and was named by Entertainment Weekly “as their America’s Next Drag Superstar.” EW.com also called Pandora’s “the most controversial elimination of the season.” Fans voted Pandora “Miss Congeniality” of the show, winning by “a landslide.” That popularity lead to becoming a drag professor on the spin-off show called RuPaul’s Drag U (Season 1 and 2) for which Pandora was voted MVP both seasons by fans of the show. Pandora hosted the all drag queen comedy show, One Night Stand Up: Dragtastic NYC which also aired on Logo. Pandora starred in her own GLAAD award winning Absolut ‘Cocktail Cabaret’ commercials, opened for Leann Rimes and Chely Wright, appeared on The Tonight Show 26 with Jay Leno (NBC), Jeffrey & Cole Casserole (Logo), Clip of the Week on The Soup (Comedy Central) and NBC’s Are You There, Chelsea? Currently, Pandora is a writer for the new Gay Voices section of the Huffington Post as well as writing a weekly recap of Season 4 of RuPaul’s Drag Race for NewNowNext.com. Pandora is also the creator, writer and star of the public access/ internet show The GAY (means happy) SHOW! (youtube.com/ gayshow)! Pandora’s credits run the gamut of media, including stage (Steel Magnolias in the role of Annelle), screen (A Voice from the Lantern in the role of Marvelous Marvin) and television (VH1’s drag documentary Boys Will Be Girls) as well as having work featured in several film festivals like the ImageOut Gay & Lesbian Film Festival and the Berkeley Film and Video Festival (receiving two honorable mentions). Most recently Pandora produced, starred in and wrote the hit play “The Lipstick Massacre,” a comedic murder mystery. The play premiered at Rochester’s MUCCC (www.muccc.org) to four sold out shows which prompted its return several months later to the prestigious Geva Theatre Center, also in Rochester, to rave reviews. In 2011, Pandora released a debut single called “Cooter!” The single rocketed to number 56 on the Dance Singles Chart of iTunes as well as reaching the number two position on Amazon’s Dance & DJ/Dance Pop Hot New Releases Chart right behind Adele. Pandora continues to tour the world spreading glitter, humor and fabulosity to the masses.

Any way you slice it, if you’ve got a pair of ears, Funktion will unwrap something for them to chew on. Funktion But don’t show up to a live show unless you’ve come to get down; this stuff is additive-free, high-octane dance fuel. And due to the fact that Funktion’s sole mission in life is to make you shake your booty, trying to stand still might cause you a few problems. You see, the human body simply isn’t equipped to deal with this much raw musical energy in the stationary position. The only way to withstand this tidal wave of sound is to get loose, get down with your bad self, and feel that groove out on the floor. Ride that funky wave out, because the only thing that could bring it to an end is last call. But then there’s always the next night’s last call in another city just down the road… Funk is an amorphous substance, able to mold itself to a variety of emotions and environments. It consists of all the things we know and composes all the things we feel. It’s the stuff that jiggles in our spine, the thing that rumbles in our belly. It’s the stuff crammed between our toes and the matter jammed between our ears. Funk lives in all of us — its path traces the globe and its roots dig back to traditional campfire rhythms and primal soul vibrations. If you’ve experienced life at all until this point, you’ve come across at least one mutation of the entity of funk. Luckily for us there is a band that can show us all the branches of funk. No matter what frequency your eardrums vibrate at, the sonic eruption from Kalamazoo based Funktion will dose them at the right waves per second. It could be the silky smooth R&B that gets you. Or maybe it’s the cool island dub rhythms that grab your ears. Then again it might be the rowdy hip-hop flavor that seizes your attention. But if none of that snatches your marbles, the unhinged, 32 33 Specializing in Smooth Transitions!

With the addition of Young’s multifaceted percussion talents in 2010 and Mathieson’s innovative bass contributions in 2011; the quartet is just beginning to scratch the surface of their creative potential. Their sound has been described as neo-soul with subtle elements of blues, folk, and rock added for good measure.
