Strokeland Superband, founded by saxophonist Stephen "Doc" Kupka, co-founder of the legendary funk group Tower of Power, is a powerhouse collective that brings together some of the best soul, funk, and R&B musicians from the Bay Area and beyond. The band's inception in the late 1990s was marked by Doc Kupka's vision to create a platform that showcased the horn-driven, high-energy grooves reminiscent of the classic R&B era, simultaneously preserving the tradition and pushing the genre forward.

The Strokeland Superband's discography is a testament to their dedication to the groove, with albums such as "Kick It Up A Step!" setting the scene with its explosive energy and masterful musicianship. Meanwhile, the politically charged "Wake up, America!" demonstrates the band's propensity to address contemporary issues through their music. "Bumped Up To First Class" offers an aural flight to the glory days of brassy funk, while "The Law: According to Fred Ross" and "The King Of Retro Cool" solidify the band's position as custodians of soulful, punchy rhythms. Their work features contributions from a rotating lineup of musical virtuosos, ensuring that every performance and recording is tinged with a fresh, yet timelessly electrifying spirit.
