Singer-songwriter Patrick Joseph introduced himself to the LA music scene back in late 2010 with the release of his debut full-length album, "Antiques", and has been on the move ever since. His latest release is a new, intriguing stop-motion video for the song "Don't Believe It", directed by Brooke Hanson. Next on the horizon: an unplugged release entitled "Relics," an EP of cover songs entitled "Stranger's Shoes" and a full-length follow-up to Antiques entitled "Moon King."
Funeral Party blends punk aesthetics infused with a nuevo Indie vibe that blows the doors off The Strokes, Killers, and Arcade Fire. This LA group breeds a new crop of the next generations distain for the mundane. Released on March 29th, The Golden Age of Knowhere expresses the angst of youth and gives off the same vibrant energy you experience attending their live performances. The defiance, competitive nature, and taunting in "New York City moves to the Sound of LA" says it all. Every track on this album has a strength to it that when tied together play as a cohesively tight album. The stand out tracks are "Finale", "NYC Moves 2 the sound of LA", and "Youth & Poverty", but even that breakdown isn't fair given the great effort from this band on the verge. Funeral Party opens for Panic! at the Disco at The Wiltern, June 21st.
