Artist History P i x i e F u n kBiographyhttp://trip.to/pixiefunkemail : pixiefunk@trip.to or gavdarcy@dircon.co.ukDublin, summer of 1997. The Juliets are playing blinding gigs in some of the groovier venues around the city. The decision is made to move the whole band to London and attempt to get in it's music scene. At this point the band consisted of Myu, Butterfly, Jen Jens, Taste Bud, a drummer known as Graham and a manager known as Brian. Banana and Gav tagged along for the buzz. Roughly 8 months after moving to that far out crazy capital The Juliets had to split up. The accountant/drummer had seen how much money was to be made doing things other than music, oddly enough, the manager had noticed the same thing. About a year later, all of them still living in London and jamming with each other, they take on a drummer/electronic guru called Damien and form the Funky Pixie Possie. Banana and Gav join the rest of them in the band this time and it starts to sound promising. After a while (and one or two gigs) it becomes clear that Damien isn't really enjoying his role as drummer, so the Funky Pixie Possie is dismantled and a search is started for a new drummer. Several months later and PixieFunk is formed with Banana and Jen Jens on vocals/acoustic guitars, Myu and Gav on lead and rythym guitars, Taste Bud on slide bass and Troi on the drums. Troi is from Barbados, been drumming at least 12 years and makes that drum kit just roll around itself.... wow. PixieFunk are currently doing alot of home and studio recording and you can hear the results in the section of the web site. They are also playing regularly at an acoustic (although the acousticness is stretched somewhat :o) night in Forest Hill and working on building up the set list for larger, louder and funkier gigs. PixieFunk are up for jamming with other musicians also, and are currently starting work with several saxaphone players, a trumpet player and a few percussionists. Come to a gig, check PixieFunk out... I reckon you may dig it.
