For those who haven’t taken advantage of Funeral Party‘s September residency at the Bootleg Theater, there is one more chance to catch the Whittier band live next Tuesday, September 28th, before it leaves for a U.S. tour with Two Door Cinema Club and Generationals. The band will then head to the U.K. for an opening slot on the 30 Seconds to Mars tour in November and December.
The five-piece has had a busy year taking its dance rock sounds across the U.S. while touring with Julian Casablancas and Austin’s …And You Will Know Us By the Trail of Dead. In the U.K., Funeral Party has toured with Surfer Blood and has been receiving critical acclaim, including airplay on BBC’s Radio 1. Singles "Just Because" and "NYC Moves to the Sound of LA" mix the high-energy of the Blood Brothers with the danceable rhythms of The Killers. With vibrant guitars and dynamic vocals, the songs are the type that fans love to sing along with at the top of their lungs. With just a 3-song EP under its belt, the band is gearing up to release a full-length on RCA Records.
