Funny / Not Funny Records is back with the sixth installment of the reformatted Label Mixtape Series. If you missed the previous months head over to our 8tracks site where they are archived. This month the mix was put together by me, Ben Schlabach, and features old projects from members of F/NF bands. Some are demos, some are polished, but all of them have a place in the family tree that is Funny / Not Funny Records. I hope everyone enjoys taking a stroll down memory lane, as much as I did putting this mix together.
Track Information:
1. Body Electric - Fader I have found memories of seeing this band in basements and pizza joints. Features members of Super Vacations and PC Worship. 2. The Matlock Four - Stegosaurus High School Heroes, this is likely the band I have seen the most times in my life. Features members of Elephant Child, John Jacob, My Mind. 3. The Cobras - Work to Drink Drunk, Sloppy, and in love with the Mummies. Features members of Uncle Bengine, Elephant Child, Order, John Jacob and F/NF 4. Sing! Sing!

I don’t know much about this track, as you can see from the lack of title, but I do know that the Sums were a high energy surf band that ruled with an iron fist in the late 90’s. Features members of Order 6. Truman Sparks - Egglore, The Dragon Mummy Riff filled indie-prog from Charlottesville. Features members of Invisible Hand 7. Hayfever - Bid Bin Ladin Goodbye The result of extra time in Scary’s Recording studio, southern rock spin off. The only time I saw them play the singer said “I am glad they didn’t crash that shit into Hardee’s, that’s where I work and that’s where I play” before launching into this song. Featuring members of Order, Uncle Bengine 8. Crossed Eyes - Rattled Pop-punk how it should be, fast, raw and too the point. They have a 7” still available from Sorry State Records.
