About Me

HEY!!!!
We're The Two Funerals.
We prefer all-ages shows, and DIY venues!

We're all at different colleges right now, so we don't get to play as often as we'd like. BUT we are all about playing on weekends and during breaks!

We just recorded three songs with Tim Kirk at Q Studios in Floyd, VA for a vinyl 7" called "Tell Yr Story" that will be out October 31st on The Cottage Records ! Thanks to Kylewilliam!

Most of the songs on our myspace are from our 10 song album ...Invade Poland - also recorded by Tim in the summer of '06. Check out our merch blog for ordering info!

We also have a song on 5-4-WHOA - A Compilation of Southwest Virginia Bands which is AVAILABLE NOW on Chimney Sweep Records , along with tons of our favorite local bands and friends!! Message us for ordering info!!!!!

CHECK US OUT AT THE FEST 7 IN GAINESVILLE!!

DIY OR DIE

Sounds Like: "A celebration of Woman-power, sounds of a revolution and change, this trio brings a bittersweet noise to the movement." -Hart from Lee St. Riots

"Their songs are socially active, energetic, and empowering. Perfect to scream along to when the man's got you down." - Gather.com music correspondent Laura Cushing

"This band knows how to use their music and socially thoughtful lyrics to really rock a show. This particular gig had four different sects of people crammed into a tiny basement. You had the moshers, the jumpers, the dancers in the corner, and at last were the people along the wall just watching the band and rocking out in their own little world. Everyone in the room had a good time, and you will too if you catch this band at a gig near you." -Live review by Hagy at The Open G String

Why we called the album "...Invade Poland"

Just in case anyone is wondering- we decided to title the album 'The Two Funerals...Invade Poland" because of all the times we've been called "feminazis".This term offends us, to the max. Equating fem...
