The Kelowna psychedelic funk band officially released the single Friday morning before hitting the road to Vancouver.

They香蕉视频直播檒l be back to Kelowna however, for a show on May 27.

The song is meant to be 香蕉视频直播渟assy with the intention of loosening up, unwinding from the everyday, coming home from work香蕉视频直播 said guitarist Josh Loewen.

Funk You is a mix of smooth guitar licks, groovy bass and encourages dance with lyrics 香蕉视频直播渂e free, clear your mind and your body will follow香蕉视频直播漵ung by 香蕉视频直播淭he Captian香蕉视频直播 Ryan Daknar and Loewen.

Floyd Meets Brown consists of four members, each offering different nuances. Daknar sings, plays trumpet and percussion, Rhys Boardman performs with his funky bass, Dustin King takes drums and Loewen plays guitar, percussion as well as sings.

The band collaborates while creating songs, but when Loewen writes the instruments come before the lyrics.

Performance wise, the funk band faces challenges standing out in a world full of social media. Loewen says it香蕉视频直播檚 about showing your passion and being creative with the venue.

香蕉视频直播淚 try to encompass not just a musical performance, but a show. What I mean by that is, you香蕉视频直播檙e so into it, that it香蕉视频直播檚 real. We keep it very passionate about the music and we always try to have something that香蕉视频直播檚 visual, that香蕉视频直播檚 different with the venue,香蕉视频直播 said Loewen, adding when he feels like it, he香蕉视频直播檒l rent rack lighting and a LED controller to add to the funk. 香蕉视频直播淲e香蕉视频直播檙e more focused on the whole show, making it an act.香蕉视频直播

For Loewen, performances are about creating energy for the crowd, listing Buddy Guy as someone who has that stage control. Daknar also dons a pirate outfit for the performances.

香蕉视频直播淲hen you have that moment when you look around and you know that everyone香蕉视频直播檚 paying attention, and you hit a change or do a little bridge and come back into the main riff and everybody goes nuts, the rush from that I can香蕉视频直播檛 even describe,香蕉视频直播 he said. 香蕉视频直播淚t香蕉视频直播檚 not about the attention, it香蕉视频直播檚 the energy that香蕉视频直播檚 created and knowing you香蕉视频直播檙e the vessel guiding this energy.香蕉视频直播

The band香蕉视频直播檚 EP Earth to Orbit, released in 2015, was recorded live off the floor with Kelowna香蕉视频直播檚 Music City Studios. Funk You is a little different with less of a raw sound.

The musicians came together in 2013, after attending the Salmon Arm Roots and Blues festival together. They decided they had a musical connection as they jammed after the show.

Loewen said Jimi Hendrix is one of his main influences for guitar when he picked it up in 2006, but he goes through phases which influence the band.

Throughout the summer, Floyd Meets Brown will be releasing eight new tracks, which can be downloaded from bandcamp free of charge or found on iTunes, Spotify and more.

Before the band香蕉视频直播檚 performance in Kelowna, they香蕉视频直播檒l perform at the Nakusp Arts Festival on May 6.
