Les Jeux Sont Funk were born in the Dolomites and their polestar is the groove, that is, the abstract energy that generates body movement. Their music has one foot turned towards the funk bands of the 60s and 70s, the other foot aiming at the emotional kaleidoscope of soul and a third (cyborg) foot tempted by the seductions of the electronic scene.

Les Jeux Sont Funk’s new single K2 marks their return to the mothership Irma Records. The song is dedicated to the mountain itself, to the promises of adventure contained in its name (originated from a mistake, as K2 was once considered the second peak of the Karakorum).

This is the most explicitly funk track of the EP “Bergweh”, with an inexorable bass line governing the thang from start to finish.

Influences: Jeff Buckley, Radio Head & Muse

Don’t Know is a loud grungy scream along with wackiness to spare. The lyrics depict strange themes and imagery whilst also not taking themselves seriously.

Was a blast to record using gear from my newly acquired Fender Sponsorship such as a fender bass VI and deluxe reverb amp.

The group consists of Andrew Frontini on lead vocals and guitar, Lisa Logan on drums, multi instrumentalist Chris Bartos, Lynda Kraar on bass and Jon Loewen on keys.

The band’s latest album, “Natural State” explores the full range of the group’s musical influences wrapping them around a solid core of dark Americana.

Written in the aftermath of of an actual family feud, Bad Brother tells the fictional tale of a murderous ” bad Brother”, a family visit gone terribly wrong and a cross border rampage. The lyrics are theatrically set to a dark country rock groove.

Stallion is a song about a hobby that turns into a passion, or something of an obsession. It could be obsession with anything – one’s child, a skill, a feeling.

For JR, the song represents his journey into songwriting. Writing and recording music started off as a cute little hobby, and became the only thing he could think about.

Stallion covers the journey from “baby being dropped at the doorstep” to the “Stallion leaving the barn” because you just can’t contain it anymore.

An endless drive to share yourself through music is terrifying. At least, that’s what Jeff says....

I am the voice that fought to get out alive, the decision to stop saying ‘someday’, and the degree of separation that lets these songs be heard. I am Jeff’s friend, Jack.

Bottled Up and Shaken is a tale of circumstances, change, and redemption with a unique song structure that moves the mood of the song from darkness to optimism.

It’s the fourth track of my debut EP ‘In the Mirror’ that was released on 2/3/23.
