ARTHUR FUNKARELLI
âaaaaayyyyyy⦠*@!# you!!!â

Band: 5-piece rock outfit including saxophone. Hundreds of shows from Montreal through San Diego many times over. High-energy freaks who love the road.

The Sound: Youâll hear a little olâ school Fishbone, shades of Sublime, a shitload of Ramones, homage to Curtis Mayfield, howls that rival Anselmo, and sweet soul that recalls an era when The Temptations made it sound so fine. A good-time mix, strictly original.

Exposure and Press:
Touring⦠the summer months are party prolific but, being proudly Canadian, we butter our bread in the winter. When the snow flies we alternate between rocking the city scenes in Van, Victoria, Seattle, Calgary and Edmonton and high profile resort towns such as Whistler/Blackcomb, Lake Louise, Banff, or Fernie⦠the best thing about these gigs is the endless flow of locals, out-of-towners and international tourists. We estimate over a couple thousand of our records are scattered all over Europe, the U.S. and Asia. Not exactly industry-type gigs, but we sell a lot more units than we would sandwiched between 3 other bands with a 40-minute slot including set-up, although we do that too⦠you get the idea.

Soundtracks: Our main niche since we formed in 99, hands down, has been mountain bike vids and extreme sporting TV. shows. Iâll just rattle off a quick list and move on.
Our tunes obviously go well with insanity and broken limbsâ¦
KRANKED II, KRANKED III, UNPARAKELLED, BOARD WILD (FOX), SACRED RIDE (O.L.N. Int.), SNOWBOARD WEST (Sportsnet Pacific). The TV. Weeklies are licensed through next year and air worldwide.

As for press⦠the usual I guess. Georgia Straight. The Province, The Westender and a folder full of small town rags and zines that you will have never heard of anyway. Truthfully, we havenât made the cover of Exclaim! yet and Maximum Rock nâ Roll arenât exactly calling everyday but we do our homework wherever we can.
