Band Info
Band Name:
The FunkyJahPunkys
Bio:
"WE ARE THE WORLDS GREATEST SHITTY LITTLE BAND". That simply means we understand our place and love it. The simple fact is, your not a big ol' rock star til MTV says so, sorry, that's just the corporate world we live in. (Get involved with Pacific Coast Pirates if you want a different one)

We will, we will rock you! We dare any and all to bring more Pure, Raw, Energy to the stage than our little diversified band of free radicals. If you do we will forever praise your name! We live solely to entertain the world and hopefully encourage you to do the things you truly want to do, Like us! We take the stage with authority and immerse you with a diverse set of mind freeing Punkish-Funkish-Reggae shit. While our band rocks you into submission our Front Man will expand your mind and soul with an unholy intensity! We love all music and all who use it in all ways throughout life. Originally we started as a Punk Rock band (which we still are philosophically) We've grown to include the almighty Funk in the mix cuz we boogie like that, and the groove rules our soul. We bring reggae to the vibe for 3 main reasons, 1. any real punk band knows the true roots of punk rock 2. we all grew up going to roots/reggae shows and finally, well you know ;). We plan on being world famous so you should think about becoming a hard core fan now, that way you can tell all the kiddies you knew us when we were nothing. One other thing, as you listen make sure you hear.


The FjP have been together since '06, played over 600 shows, have over 70 original songs, 2 complete studio albums, 1 Live album & have toured all of the west coast 15 times (Central America Included) We have done all this through our own underground label/culture based movement, Pacific Coast Pirates, aka, PcP ReKerdZ.

on October 13th of 2009 The FunkyJahPunkys released their first nationally distributed album, "Corporate Takeover"(featuring ICE T), on their own record label/brand, Pacific Coast Pirates, aka, PcP ReKerdZ. The distribution deal that made this possible was inked in May of '08 with Koch Distribution in association with Hard Tyme Entertainment. Now that's DIY!


For those who remember us as Emilio & The FunkyJahPunkys we have left the old school story bio for your reading pleasure:



Once a young Guatemalan farm worker, Emilio traveled to the Southwestern United States in search of the "American Dream" - Money, Power, and Illegal Prostitution. Driven by the last words of his dying father, "Uno Mas Cervesa Por Favor", he traveled through Central America to the border of Mexico and California. He there met Cheech Marin who coyoted him across the border in an old pickle delivery box van. After slaving away in the indoor swap meets of So.Cal he managed to save enough money to purchase the beer his father requested. While trying to pimp the beer outside of a Seven Eleven, he was abducted by a band of punk rock aliens in a 1967 Camaro/spaceship conversion saucer with a rag-top and spinning 23's(yeah we know they don't exist but, if your willing to except Cheech Marin and punk rock aliens what the fuck.). Extensive testing by the aliens changed Emilio's DNA leaving him as 4 white men with 12 inch penis's and a four pound blue chihuahua (by the time you ladies find out if that is true or not we will have already got what we wanted) The alien's having no manners and a first edition Thomas Guide returned them to earth about 1000+ miles to the north of the Seven Eleven. Now in the Tide Flats of Tacoma WA. they had no choice but to make a living by doing the only thing there new minds had ever seen, PUNK ROCK. Hence EMILIO & the FUNKYJAHPUNKYS were born. Abracadabra HOLMES!
