Artist description Rock! Hard! Fun!!! When asked about the concept for the band "NO FUN" and their first CD, "Intended", the two founding members say, "If there is a "concept" or a "theme" then it would have to be sarcasm", says David. "...if you say youre just being sarcastic, then no one is really sure where you re coming from. We dont ever want to be painted into a corner. Somebody will always think they know what we mean but they can t. So if we ever try to tell you what to think about something... immediately assume that we re too stupid to pay any attention to" continues David. "The last thing we want is to be taken seriously…especially by our fans" adds Brian. "We ve always done our own thing…no matter what the fallout. We ve dealt with the negativity about what our aspirations are…from all sides, including our families. We use it all to our creative advantage. Combining our experiences gives us exponentially more to work with." said David.

Artist History Formed in mid May 2002 the St. Petersburg Florida based band is comprised of musicians from across the United States. The nucleus of the band, David Michael Ford and Brian Harrison met in the early 1990s in Baltimore Maryland. Brian has played guitar and drums with bands from both the East and West Coasts including "Sex Face", "Texas Terri" and most recently "Twitches". While David fronted his first band at the age of 13, he has spent most of his time behind the scenes, he s been playing guitar and writing for most of his life. David and Brian, now in their early thirties, live in St. Petersburg. Bass player Idzi, was asked to record with the duo in May of 2002. Baltimore based drummer Billy Smith, of the local band "Johnny Love and Speed" and another longtime mutual friend, will be added shortly to replace Al "Easy" S. "Al is a great drummer but hes lacking in stage presence" claims Brian.

Press Reviews The live show has been described as a cross between the playful stage theatrics of the band "The Tubes", the live energy of the "Mighty Bostones" and No Funs own uniquely raw yet powerful sound. "We want everyone to have fun. We want them to say…"I can t believe they just did that!" and then laugh or just fall down…all while their eyes and ears are on fire" says Brian. The opening number is something to behold. "It took a while for David to design my "Flashbulb Suit", but it works pretty well...now" laughs Brian. "Yeah, we opened the first few shows with the "Beta" version and we had a little overheating problem with the batteries", David explains. "I caught fire!" exclaims Brian. "Yeah but it looked really cool!" notes David.
