The History of Funk Trunk Records
Funk Trunk Records is a record store and music venue located in Rogers Park, Chicago. The store specializes in Funk, Soul, and R&B music. The venue hosts live music events and DJ nights. The store was founded in 2006 by owner and DJ, Cory James.
How did Funk Trunk Records start?
In the fall of 2006, a group of music-loving friends in Rogers Park, Chicago, had the idea to start a record label. They wanted to put out records by local bands that were making music that was creative, original, and fun. They also wanted to create a community around the label, where people could come together to enjoy music and support the local scene. The friends decided to call their label Funk Trunk Records.
Funk Trunk released its first record in 2007. It was a 7-inch single by the band Teenage Fanclub. The record was well received, and Funk Trunk went on to release more singles and albums by other local bands.
In 2010, Funk Trunk started hosting the Rogers Park Music Swap, an annual event where people can buy, sell, or trade records and other music-related items. The swap is held each year on the first Saturday in May.
Funk Trunk Records is still going strong today. The label has released records by many great bands, including Gumbo Stu, Bumpus, The Drastics, and The Statics. Funk Trunk is proud to be a part of the vibrant Rogers Park music scene!
What is the story behind the name?
The name Funk Trunk Records came about because when the Rogers Park Music Swap started, it was held in a record store called Funk Trunk. The owner of the store, Brian, liked the idea of the music swap and allowed it to be held in his store. When the music swap outgrew the space at Funk Trunk, it was moved to another location, but the name stuck.
