Whittier, Los Angeles CA, United States (2005 – present)

Funeral Party is a four-piece band that formed late one night in a park. Hardcore bands and metal bands dominated the local music scene at the time in Whittier, California, an East Los Angeles suburb comprised of mostly working-class enclaves. In the East Los Angeles neighborhoods adjacent to Whittier however, a post-punk dance-craze revival was emerging and Funeral Party began gigging every weekend. The band quickly developed a following and a D.I.Y. ethos that encapsulated East Los Angeles’ rich musical history. Initially, the band didn’t even own equipment and had to borrow it from bands they played with at East Los Angeles backyard parties and warehouses. Funeral Party quickly achieved a mythic stature in the Los Angeles underground. Lars Stalfors, engineer for The Mars Volta, invited the band to record in the Volta’s studio in East L.A. The sessions yielded “Chalice”, which immediately became East L.A.’s theme song and could be heard bumping on iPods throughout Southern California. What is unique about Funeral Party is the band’s universal appeal; there exist numerous infusions in their music. This band is crucially important as they have created a visceral music that encapsulates the experiences of contemporary youth. Funeral Party’s sound is shaped by disparate realities, manifested in the band’s musical approach.For booking information, contact Creative Artists Agency.

The golden age of knowhere. Top 5 best albums ever. You really need to get your asses over to Sweden soon. Can't believe I went to see Dillinger escape plan and Deftones at Commodore ballroom and missed you guys. Most epic fail ever.

Being in NYC Moves to the Sound of LA was fun. Its not my favorite song, but I still love them. [: I found it a huge honor to be in the video and work so close to them. Thee hours were long, and everything hurt by the end of the night, but i would do anything for this band because their music has done so much for me.

"LOL @ Description, I grew up in Whittier, and it is nowhere near East L.A. Whittier is like a total middle-class town slapped between L.A. and Orange County. " Seriously. I wonder who wrote that. Probably someone from Pico Rivera. Whittier <3
