Funeral Party Announce New Single

• 15th Jul 2010

Fresh off the back of their hugely successful limited edition debut single “NYC Moves To The Sound Of LA”, East LA three-piece Funeral Party are set to release the track “Just Because” through Jive Records on August 30th.

The trio formed late one night in a park in their hometown of Whittier, California, an East Los Angeles suburb comprised of mostly working-class enclaves. A post-punk dance- craze revival was emerging and Funeral Party began gigging every weekend drawing more than 800 kids at random backyards across East Los Angeles. Quickly achieving a mythic status in the LA underground, Funeral Party attracted the attentions of Lars Stalfors, engineer for Mars Volta, who invited the band to record in Volta’s studio.

The Funeral Party phenomenon is already creeping onto our shores after the bands debut single took the UK by storm. With early playlist adds from Radio 1, 6 Music, Kerrang and XFM, as well as grabbing press attention across the board means the trio have firmly established themselves as ones to watch for the future.

With their debut album already under their belts, and due for release early next year, Funeral Party are set to take 2011 by storm. They dismiss any attempts at categorization, and have created a visceral music that encapsulates experiences of youth universally.
