At the age of 14, best friends, Daphne and Davida discovered guitars. Together, they attempted to figure out how to work the guitars. While honing their skills they managed to developed a near-identical taste for weird music. A year later, they decided to write a song after a long night of stargazing and rambling incoherently about a melting block of ice. They liked the result of said writing session and decided to continue to write stuff.
…Eventually a name was needed for the duo. After enlisting help from some friendly fellows (namely their musical big brothers Mike Lerner, Kevin Hufnagel and Hunter Ginn) Kevin came up with the name “Night of Fungiâ€â€¦somehow it stuck.

Feeling incomplete, the pair began a desperate search for a drummer. After lengthy, intense and poorly aimed searching they finally realized that their pal Zach was a perfect fit. (i.e. he has been willing to suffer through their infatuation with odd meters) With a vaguely complete lineup, the band sloppily recorded two songs. Enjoy. More will be recorded...someday.
2008
Daphne and Davida plan to move to Portland in the fall. Somehow, fate has already given them some snazzy new musicians to work with in the land of ports. Enter Ben and Patrick: two wonderful pals and musicians. A handful of songs have been written, rehearsals are underway and they hope to play some shows this summer. Oregonians beware! Mister Aaron Bell (Degree Absolute) has also become ensnared in the project. (poor guy) The future is looking shiny for NoF!
We’re bummed about Zach’s absence from the Portland lineup, but we still love the guy, highly highly highly endorse his music and are thankful to have had the pleasure of playing with him (both music and mario kart). Listen to his music! It rocks!
