About Me

NEW VIDEO! -- BETTER DAYS
The CD release/video party at Mulleady’s was a great success. We want to extend our deepest thanks to all of you who came out and participated. Thank you so much for making it a memorable night--you look marvelous, baby!

Carl Funk and Larry Mason were part of the groundbreaking Seattle band The Allies. The band was known for producing innovative, original music with hits such as Emma Peel and Heartbroken Man, and for many years was recognized as one of the top rock bands working in the Seattle area. After The Allies, Mason went on to play drums with The Brandos in New York City, and enjoyed a successful career both in America and Europe. During this time Funk was a lyricist for The Brandos, helping pen some of their best known songs such as Gettysburg and Anna Lee, all the while continuing to perform in the Seattle area as a solo artist and songwriter. Funk released the well-received solo album The Heart of a Siren in 1996, and later rejoined Mason (now playing guitar) to record and play live as Funk Mason. Together they recorded the CD Resurrection, and have gained distinction for the depth and musicality of their songs and quality of their live shows, which are strong on vocals and well-balanced harmonies. With the release of the new CD In an Instant, Funk Mason have added another chapter to their careers. All CD’s available at www.funkmason.com.
