Phil Parnell

Torben, Espen , and Phil first met up and started working together on the annual January "danish dark deep freeze tour" with Lillian Boutte a few years ago. This rhythm section was tight. It was tighter than the democratic party faced with midterm elections in the sixth year of a baby Bush presidency. It didn't take long to realize that within this rhythm section there was a project afoot just aching to escape. Phil packed some mics and flew to dk and the triad all hoofed it over to "Det Bruunske Pakhus" in Fredericia , Denmark to lay down some tracks. A few weeks later Torbs and Espen stepped off the plane in London where they recorded more tracks at Village Studio E17... Walthamstow... (well known hangout for shampoo and mascara bottle bombers).... and the result as they say ... verrucae and all ...is Funky Foot history. All cornyness aside...This has truly been a cooperative effort with everyone putting their best foot forward and being enthusiastic about the band as opposed to a bandleader/sideman (big toe/little toe) type scenario. Everyone knows that in a trio it takes three to hokey pokey and putting the right foot in is one of the first steps in making it happen, but when three friends who really enjoy each others musical company come together with a common vision it comes through in the music and the magic starts to happen, the fairies start to dance and and toes get tickled.Click Here to buy Funky Feet CD from CD BabyClick Here to buy mp3s from Bugge's online shopClick Here to Veiw PP3 live in Oslo at Bellville Jazz Club.Phil Parnell's Website www.philparnell.comTorben's Website www.torbenbjoernskov.dkEspen's Website www.espenvon.dk/Funky Feet MovieHear more on Last FM
