F/NF 019 Press + MACRoCk Acoustic Showcase + Lurid Pictures

Pictured above is the brand new line up for Uncle Bengine and the Restraining Orders at their first performance at the Blue Nile in Harrisonburg, VA. F/NF recently released a new split cassette for the band and their WV pals, Prison Book Club, which you can pick up from our store here.  The cassette was also just reviewed by our pals over at WVrockscene, check out a little of what they had to say, or catch the full post here.

“Best split ever? PBC pairs up with Uncle Bengine and the Restraining Orders Well it’s been out and available, up and online for like a month or something, and not only is Uncle Bengine and the Restraining Orders one of the best band names ever maybe, but the Harrisonburg, Va.-based trio’s 13-song split with Prison Book Club, released on Funny/Not Funny Records, is one of the best pairings of bands on a split release we’ve heard together in recent memory.” - WVRockscene

Also, we have another gem by Lurid Pictures from the MACRoCk Label Expo Acoustic Showcase for you featuring Prison Book Club / The Demon Beat member Tucker Riggleman showcasing his new project Bishops.

The Super Vacations Weekender Photo Recap

Funny / Not Funny Records had the grand pleasure of spending a few days on the road with The Super Vacations, below is the evidence, enjoy!

(P.S. There are rumors of a new LP on the way!)

Funny / Not Funny Records is proud to present the Demon Beat / Elephant Child split 7”. Three tracks of heavy hitting, fuzzed out, garage rock and roll from two of the most entertaining acts on the Interstate 81 corridor of the Virginias. This is a record of firsts; it marks the Demon Beat’s welcome to the Funny / Not Funny family, it marks the debut vinyl release from Elephant Child, and it marks the first time these long time friends have been paired together on one release.

We have approved the test presses and it is time to launch the Pre-Order for F/NF 016!  Limited to 300, each with hand screen printed covers, this release is a sure bet for any fan of 70’s garage rock or 90’s grunge. Pre-Order Here (comes with an instant download of the entire 7”)!
