Funkoars – Vamoose

28 04 2012

The Funkoars have dropped a 3rd film clip from their critically acclaimed album The Quickening. Vamoose was produced by Full Clip Productions and features the acting stylings of Benjie McNair of Neighbours fame.

The clip is a biting social commentary on the state of the economy done in true Oars fashion. The video is best summed up by YouTube user KrazyBot:
“Absolutely moving and inspirational clip. The camera roll towards the protagonist creates a sense of desperation within the responder as we watch him try in vain to make enough sandwiches as he is struck by projectiles. Audience members are subject to a cruel disappointment when the protagonist survives only to be shot again. There is a sense of great loss when the antagonists (Funkoars) descend upon his lifeless corpse and take the sandwiches for their own. Brilliance. I am at a loss for words.”

Drawing inspiration from a classic Notorious B.I.G. rhyme and produced by Golden Era Records resident recluse Trials (Hilltop Hoods, Drapht, Vents), Vamoose is a one-liner barrage being drunk driven home by Sesta and Hons, smashed into some black market organs, huge guitar stabs and a soul sample fondled to bits by stuntman/DJ Reflux.

Ladies and Gentlemen, VAMOOSE.

Taken from the Funkoars Album The Quickening.  You can catch the Funkoars on their Being Vincent D’onofrio Tour, full dates and ticketing information can be found here.

Funkoars – Vamoose

11 03 2012

Quick to reclaim the room from the force fed and the fake, The Funkoars are back with another pessimistic party anthem and third single Vamoose from their latest and most deadly album, The Quickening. “So get loose or get gone, Vamoose son of a bitch!”

Drawing inspiration from a classic Notorious B.I.G. rhyme and produced by Golden Era Records resident recluse Trials (Hilltop Hoods, Drapht, Vents), Vamoose is a one-liner barrage being drunk driven home by Sesta and Hons, smashed into some black market organs, huge guitar stabs and a soul sample fondled to bits by stuntman/DJ Reflux.

Funkoars – Being Vincent D’Onofrio Tour 2012

10 02 2012

Back on the scene with the force of a freight train, The Funkoars hit back last year after a 12 month hiatus to deliver their new album The Quickening to critical acclaim and their album launch tour saw them leave a trail of hangovers in 18 cities across the country!

With a brand new single and music video to be released in March (stay tuned for this), The Funkoars (and what appears to be Vincent D’Onofrio) are excited to announce they will be smashing out a select run of 10 dates across the country!
