Playing TONIGHT at The Echo in Echo Park is a band called Funeral Club.
Reminiscent of the haunting strains of Siouxie and the Banshees, their style of music is gothic, brooding and atmospheric.
Background:
Funeral Club was founded by husband and wife, Joseph and Jenny Andreotti in 2006.
In the spring of 2011, Funeral Club recorded their third full-length, In the Fire. The record was produced by Raymond Richards (Local Natives, Parson Redheads) and mastered by Kramer (Damon & Naomi, Low). In The Fire was influenced by the idea of paying homage to experimental filmmakers Maya Deren, David Lynch, David Cronenberg and film composer Ennio Morricone.
The record was self-released, as were all past releases under the names Funeral Club & The Grizzly Owls, The Year of the Bloody Sevens LP (2010), By Night On My Bed LP (2007), The People Have All Gone EP (2009) and I Am A Shootist EP (2009). In 2008 RCRD LBL released the single, Whiskey & Clyde.
Funeral Club have continued to play mostly in the Echo Park/Silverlake area in Los Angeles at Spaceland, The Echo, Echo Curio, The Silverlake Lounge and The Echo Park Film Center, performing with Damon & Naomi, A Hawk & A Hacksaw, The Wooden Birds and others.
Their releases have received critical acclaim from various media outlets as well as being voted Los Angeles band of the month at Deli Magazine.
