Socket

Socket (Electronic/Industrial/Experimental) is Greg Brendel (since 1996).... But apparently there is another band with the same name: Formed in 2002 in Oakland, CA, Socket is a Bay Area jazz-funk trio influenced by Herbie Hancock's Headhunters, James Brown, Medeski, Martin and Wood, Fela Kuti, and Charlie Hunter. The band's sound includes elements of latin, afrobeat, samba, and rock. Socket's core members include Taylor Heanue (organ), Cal Reichenbach (guitar), and Brad Harbidge (drums).
