The Phantastics
The Phantastics is a band community based in Kansas City, Missouri, renowned for their electrifying performances that blend elements of funk, soul, hip-hop, and rock into a unique sound that has captured audiences across the Midwest. Founded in 2010 when lead vocalist Kemet Coleman (previously known as Kemet the Phantom) joined a prog rock band called Stonedeph, The Phantastics have since become one of the most exciting and dynamic live acts in the region.
What sets The Phantastics apart is their infectious energy and unwavering commitment to their craft. They are known for their high-octane live shows that feature extended improvisation and a signature technique they call the "jam sandwich." This involves seamlessly transitioning from one of their original tunes into an extended improvisation jam before seamlessly concluding the song to a thunderous applause from the crowd. This signature move has earned them a reputation as one of the most crowd-pleasing live acts around.
The Phantastics have been called Kansas City's best dance band by the Kansas City Star, and they have earned the respect and admiration of audiences and fellow musicians alike. They have shared the stage with legendary acts like George Clinton and Parliament Funkadelic, and were hand-selected by Kool and the Gang to open for them in 2019.
The band has released several critically acclaimed albums and EPs, showcasing their unique blend of musical styles and lyrical depth. Their dedication to their craft and their community has earned them a reputation as not just a band, but a community of musicians who use their music to raise awareness for social justice causes and support local organizations like the Midwest Music Foundation and the Urban League of Greater Kansas City.
With their electrifying energy, undeniable talent, and unwavering dedication to their craft, The Phantastics are poised to become one of the most influential and legendary bands of their generation. Their music is a celebration of life, love, and the human spirit, and their live shows are an unforgettable experience that leaves audiences begging for more.
