About Me


Greetings!
Thank you for checkin' out our page. The band is grateful to all the fans and venues that have supported us thus far. Shout out to our Funkie Friends!
Some Info:
Welcome to a band where tone and soul are the essence of life. It's about the music AND the show. Demon Funkies arrived on Earth in 2003 with an extreme distaste for the average and reserved. Their unique energy, passionate songs, and always-fresh approach make them memorable on every occasion. Demon Funkies believe in unity, entertainment, fun, and outlandish good times. Original music made with fiercely authentic heart and soul is their vehicle of accomplishment.
The band has an ever changing lineup lead by founders Ryan Chrys (guitar/vocals) and The Prom King (bass/vocals). Square Dogg is the man on the drums and depending on the engagement the band often has friends and guest musicians joining them on stage. DF believe in the importance of being able to suit the audience and mood of the event by either rocking an adrenaline intense set or by providing a party atmosphere for dancing until the sun comes up. Performances are very animated and sometimes they get out of control, but hey, thats rock n roll!
Demon Funkies have released two studio albums, 2005's 5,280' of Funk, and 2008's Punk Junkies.
Quotes:
4 out of 5 stars "Part Reverend Horton Heat and part Soundgarden. Check this out man, you’re gonna love it. ... It’s good to hear some local boys bring it back in a big way."
- Vail Daily
"High-quality swagger with standout playing and attitude."
- Colorado Music Buzz
"Hemi-powered guitar riffs ... Ass-shaking Caucasians of the world, unite."
- Westword
"There's hard throbbing rhythms, heavily distorted guitars and plenty of attitude. This is like punk evolution. Buy this CD if you like to rock!"
- RockOnColorado.com
"Simply put, the Funkies are much more than one might imagine. With their wicked delays and loud, liquor-inspired lyrics, the Funkies are beyond your average bar band fare and highly adaptable."
- The Metropolitan
"Unique party vibe.....a rock-n-roll funk explosion"
- The Daily Sentinel, Grand Junction
"Demon Funkies is an animated band that loves to interact with its audience - jumping down on the floor, dancing, throwing out free stickers and Snickers, whatever it takes."
- Denver Daily News
