GUERRILLA FUNK MONSTER MAKE THEIR LONG AWAITED RETURN TO THE STAGE

Absurd Machine Records is pleased to announce that Guerrilla Funk Monster will finally be returning to the stage after a year long layoff. The band will be playing at the Gateway @ SAIT in Calgary on Thursday, October 27th.

Guerrilla Funk Monster have not played out live since the end of their last Canadian tour in June 2004, during which they were promoting their second CD "Bomb" (released May 2004). They are super pumped to finally get the chance to lay down some fat grooves and rock some minds.

Guitarist Daniel Martinez had to travel to Guatemala for six months in fall 2004 to conduct the field research required to complete his Master's program at the University of Calgary, so the band decided to take a much needed break after playing over 200 shows all across Canada between 2002-2004.

Guerrilla Funk Monster are extremely excited to be playing live again after spending the summer working on recordings for upcoming releases by Absurd Machine artists Lynn Olagundoye and Human Marvels.

Also on the bill will be roots/rock singer-songwriter Greg Gardner and hard hitting blues/rock band Dr. Rage & The Uppercuts. Both acts are from Winnipeg and have brand new CDs out on Absurd Machine Records.

WHO: Guerrilla Funk Monster (with Greg Gardner and Dr. Rage & The Uppercuts)

WHERE: The Gateway @ SAIT (V204, 1301 - 16th Avenue NW), Calgary, AB

WHEN: Thursday, October 27th, doors @ 8pm

PRICE: $7 at the door

Greg Gardner will play a short acoustic set at 8:30pm

Dr. Rage & The Uppercuts will play from 9-9:45pm.

Guerrilla Funk Monster will be hitting the stage at 10pm sharp.

See you there.

PS - In case you can't make the Calgary show, GFM will also be playing these other shows around Alberta:

What style of music is Guerrilla Funk Monster?

[TomFoolery]

Whole lotta ass kickin' funk.

Kayte has their double cd - it gets lots of rotation at our place.

I look forward to seeing them play.
