Pre-Order Black Love / Tough Love by The Cinnamon Band:

Funny / Not Funny Records is proud to present The Cinnamon Band’s vinyl debut with this limited edition 45rpm single. John Harouff and Neil Campbell achieve all of their goals on this record without any unnecessary elements.  Their unique brand of two man rock n roll is full, dynamic, and loaded with hooks.  Their composition is competent and clean just like the cover. Their vocal harmonies are reminiscent of the Everly Brothers, and in fact John and Neil have been playing together for so long they might as well be brothers themselves.

Make sure to Pre-Order this limited to 300, must have, 7” before it’s gone. And why should you Pre-Order you might ask? Everyone who Pre-Orders the record will be entered into a contest where one lucky winner will receive the test press of this release!!

Funny / Not Funny Records had an absolute blast at SXSW!

From the bottom of our hearts Funny / Not Funny records would like to thanks everyone who was involved with or attended our two showcases that went down at the Deco Lounge on Tuesday March 13th and Wednesday Marth 14 for SXSW.  Specifically, we want mention our hard working bands Naked Gods, The Diamond Center, and Eternal Summers for making the trip down and performing, our showcase partner Jacob Wolfe from Holy Smokes Booking, our eccentric, amazing pro sound provider Bruce for keeping it weird as Austinites do.  As you can tell from the photos above our showcases were chill vibes through and through.  After a successful second year we are looking forward to the next SXSW already!

F/NF 016 + F/NF 017 Test Press Contest Winners Announced!

Benjamin Dietels

Ben, Demon Beat supporter, and PA resident is the winner of The Demon Beat / Elephant Child (F/NF 016) test press contest.  We would like to thank him for pre-ordering the record and hope he is enjoying his two brand new records!  

John Reiss

John is a Harrisonburger original who has migrated to the rolling hills of San Francisco. F/NF supporter from day one, we are proud to announce he is the winner of The Diamond Center (F/NF 017) test press contest.  We would like to thank him for pre-ordering the record and hope he is enjoying his smokey colored, ebay gold, test press!  

Funny / Not Funny Records is proud to present The Diamond Center’s second foray into wax by releasing the California / Bells 7”. Utilizing every inch with grooves, much like the record before it, these two tunes are able to take you on a lush psychedelia filled dreamquest for a swooning 13 minutes. Fuzzed guitars, waning organs, minimalist drum lines, a dualistic yet harmonious approach to vocals, and mastery of dynamics as a whole that only comes from perfect practice all culminate to bring you one of our most epic releases to date. This vision came into being at the Magic Twig Community’s Mystic Fortress, the same studio birthplace as our 14th release, giving you, the listener, yet another round of fully realized and quality recordings. Spin this single and transcend into the truth we speak.
