the viking funeral, we've been together for seven years or so, finely tuneing our musical style to sound like a hillbilly punkrock explosion of energy and drunkenness. that being said, we work very hard to keep up our reputation of being the roudy boys who like to have a good time. We are from corvallis, and we play there occasionally (even though the only good place to play, Fox n Firkin closed down). We love to play shows in portland, our best friends live there and we love to put on a show for them. on stage we can be described as full of energy, loudness, drunkenness and good old northwest indy punk, sound that you can only get from a 3piece band. come to a show sometime and see for your self. thanks]
