Formed on a lark by vocalist PH Lovecraft and other members since departed, the group careened through rotating lineups and lengthy breakups in the early 2000s like a corpse that wouldn’t stay dead. The band’s inspiration draws from punk, postpunk and early gothic rock, not to mention The Velvet Underground, and 70’s glam. But rather than yet another nostalgia trip, the Funeral Crashers are focused on bringing their influences into the now.

Thanks to their ripping guitar lines- and even finer harmonies- The Vandelles define the distaff side of the Noir Rock sound. Formed as a merger of two local vocal groups, The Mercenary Gang and Del Black Aloha, The Vandelles take aspects of Link Wray and The Jesus and Mary Chain, The Ronettes and My Bloody Valentine, Buddy Holly and The Ramones, to create a sound thats uniquely theirs.

When sounds bash hard, they gush hard and then it becomes what is known as Organized Sports.
