WE'RE NOT SEXY BUT, WE ARE.....
A GOD DAMN PHILISOPHICAL PUNK ROCK BAND WITH A SIDE ORDER OF FUNNY AND A TALL GLASS OF PURE RAW ENERGY!!
The FunkyJahPunky's came together for a good time and a way to express some positive opinions on just about everything (OK, OK, so we talk a little shit too, but only on those who deserve it). Take a look at our lyrics, we would love for all of you to get our points. We want to perform anywhere & everywhere, so let us know about bookings. Watch your bulletins for GIANT j's words of the day. Our bio was voted "FUNNIEST" on MYSPACE by Rolling Stone so don't forget to look. REAL-RAW-PUNK-ROCK or RAWK which rhymes with Hawk and since hawk is at the end of MO-hawk and punk rockers have mo-hawks then we must be real punk rock even tho no one in the band actually has a mo-hawk, well anyways... Remember, Emilio says "The meaning of life is to live" & "It burns when I pee"

"WE ARE THE WORLDS GREATEST SHITTY LITTLE BAND". That simply means we understand our place and love it. The fact is, your not a big ol' rockstar til MTV says so, sorry, thats just the corporate world we live in. (Get involved with Pacific Coast Pirates if you want a different one)
We will, we will rock you! We dare any and all to bring more Pure, Raw, Energy to the stage than our little diversified band of free radicals. If you do we will forever praise your name! We live solely to entertain the world and hopefully encourage you to do the things you truly want to do, Like us! We take the stage with authority and immerse you with a diverse set of mind freeing Punkish-Funkish-Reggae shit. While our band rocks you into submission our Front Man will expand your mind and soul with an unholy intensity! We love all music and all who use it in all ways throughout life. Originally we started as a Punk Rock band (which we still are philosophically) We've grown to include the almighty Funk in the mix cuz we boogie like that, and the groove rules our soul. We bring reggae to the vibe for 3 main reasons, 1. any real punk band knows the true roots of punk rock 2. we all grew up going to roots/reggae shows and finally, well you know ;). Although the genres mentioned are what we write our style around, The FjP embrace all forms of music and consider themselves inspired by all forms of art. We plan on being world famous so you should think about becoming a hard core fan now, that way you can tell all the kiddies you knew us when we were nothing. One other thing, as you listen make sure you hear.
The FjP have been together since '06, played over 600 shows, have over 60 original songs, 2 complete studio albums, & 1 live record in their audio arsenal. We have traveled the equivalent of going around the world 3.2 times(give or take a mile or two:) We have done all this through our own underground label/culture based movement, Pacific Coast Pirates, aka, PcP ReKerdZ.
In October of 2009 The FunkyJahPunkys will be releasing their first nationally distributed album "Corporate Takeover", on their own record label/brand, Pacific Coast Pirates, aka, PcP ReKerdZ. The title track to this new album includes the vocal stylings of Gangster Rap Legend, Ice T (FYI; Coolio appears on the FjP's first studio project, "Third World War") The distribution deal that made this possible was inked in May of '08 with Koch Distribution in association with Hard Tyme Entertainment. Now thats DIY!
PS -----We got a BUS and we're not afraid to use it, SOOOOO...Hit us up about shows--------
For those who remember us as Emilio & The FunkyJahPunkys we have left the old school story bio for your reading pleasure:
Once a young guatamalan farmworker, Emilio traveled to the southwestern United States in search of the "American Dream" - Money, Power, and Illegal Prostitution. Driven by the last words of his dying father, "Uno Mas Cervesa Por Favor", he traveled through central america to the border of Mexico and California. He there met Cheech Marin who coyoted him across the border in an old pickle delivery box van. After slaving away in the indoor swap meets of So.Cal he managed to save enough money to purchase the beer his father requested. While trying to pimp the beer outside of a Seven Eleven, he was abducted by a band of punk rock aliens in a 1967 Camaro/spaceship conversion saucer with a ragtop and spinning 23's(yeah we know they don't exist but, if your willing to except cheech marin and punk rock aliens what the fuck.). Extensive testing by the aliens changed Emilio's DNA leaving him as 4 white men with 12 inch penis's and a four pound blue chihuahua (by the time you ladies find out if that is true or not we will have already got what we wanted) The alien's having no manners and a first edition Thomas Guide returned them to earth about 1000+ miles to the north of the Seven Eleven. Now in the Tide Flats of Tacoma WA. they had no choice but to make a living by doing the only thing there new minds had ever seen, PUNK ROCK. Hence EMILIO & the FUNKYJAHPUNKY'S were born. Abracadabra HOLMES!
