Revision will be returning to Zeno's, 100 W. College Ave., at 10 p.m. tomorrow to funk-ify the onlookers packed into the basement pub.

"It's funky rock 'n' roll," said Nick Bullock, guitar player and vocalist for the four-piece from Ithaca, N.Y.

Bullock added that he didn't mind fans using the label "funk-rock" for the band.

"It's [a label] for the people listening," he said. "It doesn't mean anything to me."

As far as Revison's music is concerned, Devon Reehl, drummer and percussionist, said there is a high emphasis on songwriting, harmonies and vocals, and all sorts of concert-goers will enjoy the show.

"There's always a beat to dance to," he said.

Reehl added that all the members of Revision have a background in jazz, so any anti-dancing musicians in the room can experience musical delight as well as watching the band improvise and interact with each other.

The band draws its influences from an older vintage sound, Reehl said. Among a wide selection, he cited organ trios from way back when and older singer/songwriter rock as inspiration for their "funk, soul, and rock 'n' roll" sound.

Bullock said the band listens to a large palette of music, including Led Zeppelin, Stevie Wonder, The Beatles and John Scofield.

"We listen to everything from Radiohead, James Brown, Elliot Smith, classical music and jazz stuff," Reehl said.

In addition to each band member giving lessons for their respective instruments on the side, last year the band played 150 shows. "We actually don't stop," Reehl said. "The last weekend we had off was in May."

They said their intense tour schedule is due to the band's grassroots approach to successfully playing music.

"We want to do something we love," said Bullock, adding that building a fanbase is key to ensuring longevity. "We're not a college band that just gets together and plays with friends. This is our livelihood; this is the way we make our living."

He added that this is the third or fourth time Revision has played at Zeno's. "We love coming down there," Bullock said. "Zeno's treats us great. There's an all-around good atmosphere."

The band has two albums out -- its debut Broken Art and the November 2004 release What It Is. The band said they hope to be back in the studio sometime during the winter, as well as upgrade their current touring van for one that runs on vegetable oil.
