Great name for a band
Monthly Function
The story
Monthly Function was formed in the summer of 2010 by a group of college friends on a road trip from their hometown of Austin, Texas to the sandy beaches of San Diego. The band's founding members, frontman Jerry Thompson, guitarist Sam Ortiz, bassist Rachel Li, and drummer Tom Peterson, were all studying different disciplines - from computer science to literature - but they shared a love for music. The band's name, 'Monthly Function,' was inspired by the monthly jam sessions they used to hold in their dorm rooms. These informal gatherings evolved into serious songwriting and music-making sessions. Since their college years, Monthly Function has grown from playing in small local venues to performing at big music festivals, garnering an impressive fan base along the way.
