  • Bio

    Funeral Club was founded by husband and wife, Joseph and Jenny Andreotti in 2006. In the spring of 2011 Funeral Club recorded their third full-length, In the Fire. The record was produced by Raymond Richards (Local Natives, Parson Redheads) and mastered by Kramer (Damon & Naomi, Low). In The Fire was influenced by the idea of paying homage to experimental film makers Maya Deren, David Lynch, David Cronenberg, and film composer Ennio Morricone. The record was self-released as were all past releases under the names Funeral Club & The Grizzly Owls, The Year of the Bloody Sevens LP (2010), By Night On My Bed LP (2007), The People Have All Gone EP (2009), and I Am A Shootist EP (2009). In 2008 RCRD LBL released the single, Whiskey & Clyde. Funeral Club have continued to play mostly in the Echo Park/Silverlake area in Los Angeles at Spaceland, The Echo, Echo Curio, The Silverlake Lounge, and The Echo Park Film Center, performing with Damon & Naomi, A Hawk & A Hacksaw, The Wooden Birds, and others. Their releases have received critical acclaim from such media outlets as Pop Matters, Lost At Sea, Stranded In Stereo, Art Rocker, God Is In The TV, Unpeeled, Web In Front, Buzz Bands LA, EarFarm, Power of Pop, Indie For Bunnies, as well as being voted Los Angeles band of the month at Deli Magazine. PRESS: "full of dark corners, masterful arrangments and seductive melodies, performed marvellously by a band who know how to craft vivid, cinematic and enjoyable music." -God Is In The TV "Funeral Club's organic approach and sombrero-tipping will bring to the Goth genre a breath of fresh air in a post-Burial landscape dominated by witchhouse acts." - Power of Pop "It's gothic. It's gothic in the classical, brooding, menacing sense… Poe is American and so are Funeral Club and they have the monochromatic, funeral beat down to a tea party. "Arrival" yaws and slops a slow march down the graveyard path with black glitter feedback, archly necrophiliac lyrics half swallowed, half spat by some greyscaled angel and it still feels right, still sounds like Poe has been jamming with Nick Cave." -unpeeled.net

Reviews

“... Mary Shelley hooking up with Nick Cave for some gothically cool western twang-in a maze of blood and lead.”

“...It’s the sound of a desert night addled with early ’60s pop and the rust-edged creak of Tom Waits at his earthiest.”
