About Me

Hey Funnelheads...Get on the bus! Throughout most of the 80's and 90's, the Funnels became synonymous with Chico State and Partying. This legendary Chico group packed clubs from Chico to Tahoe to SanFrancisco and beyond, while racking up 6 consecutive "Best Band" awards, and "Living Legend" status in the Chico News & Review. the Funnels popularity and longevity are a tribute to thier strong live shows, consistent musicianship and quirky, eclectic arrangements. the Funnels rank as one of Chico's all-time best loved bands and only a death in the Funnel Family could stop the now infamous "Blue Bus"...Keep checking back to this site, as it will continue to upgrade...COMING SOON: THE BEST OF THE FUNNELS! (38 songs/2 disc set).....The master has been completed and this collection should be available by mid-February. All your favorites: Stoned & Stupid, Good Good Friends, B*tches Take 5, Tijuana Vacation, Darling Daughter and many, many more. This collection is a must for any true Funnelhead!
