Kung Fu is a jazz rock fusion band that formed out of weekly jam session between five friends from New Haven, CT. Mainly operating as an instrumental group, guitarist Tim Palmieri, bassist Dave Livolsi, saxophonist Rob Somerville, keyboardist Todd Stoops and drummer Adrian Tramontano create their own brand of music that has been dubbed "Jazztronic." After officially banding together in 2009, Kiev had played multiple music and arts festivals within six months, including The Big Up, Strange Creek and Gathering of The Vibes. Kung Fu has been praised and critically acclaimed for its live shows, which accentuate the band's raw talent and its funky blend of rock and jazz music.
