Got to have it

If you need the funk, it's here, courtesy of the Greyboy Allstars. The San Diego band stops at the Paradise Rock Club tonight to lay down the groove a la James Brown and George Clinton. The group wrote its latest album - "What Happened to Television?" - in a week and recorded it live in a studio without computer enhancement. You'll see all of the more-than-10-year-old band's original members, including guitarist Elgin Park, also known as Mike Andrews, who has had a second career scoring films such as "Donnie Darko" and "Me and You and Everyone We Know." Also on the lineup is Pete Francis, formerly of Dispatch. 8 p.m. $27. Paradise Rock Club, 967 Commonwealth Ave., 617-562-8800. thedise.com
