The track is called Funk You, and itsa国际传媒檚 meant to pick you up after a tiring work day.

The Kelowna psychedelic funk band officially released the single Friday morning before hitting the road to Vancouver.

Theysa国际传媒檒l be back to Kelowna however, for a show on May 27.

The song is meant to be sa国际传媒渟assy with the intention of loosening up, unwinding from the everyday, coming home from worksa国际传媒� said guitarist Josh Loewen.

Funk You is a mix of smooth guitar licks, groovy bass and encourages dance with lyrics sa国际传媒渂e free, clear your mind and your body will followsa国际传媒漵ung by sa国际传媒淭he Captiansa国际传媒� Ryan Daknar and Loewen.

Floyd Meets Brown consists of four members, each offering different nuances. Daknar sings, plays trumpet and percussion, Rhys Boardman performs with his funky bass, Dustin King takes drums and Loewen plays guitar, percussion as well as sings.

The band collaborates while creating songs, but when Loewen writes the instruments come before the lyrics.

sa国际传媒淚sa国际传媒檓 drawn to instruments in tracks rather than lyrics,sa国际传媒� he said. sa国际传媒淚 listen to notes and melodies and rhythms and thatsa国际传媒檚 poetic to me.sa国际传媒�

Performance wise, the funk band faces challenges standing out in a world full of social media. Loewen says itsa国际传媒檚 about showing your passion and being creative with the venue.

sa国际传媒淚 try to encompass not just a musical performance, but a show. What I mean by that is, yousa国际传媒檙e so into it, that itsa国际传媒檚 real. We keep it very passionate about the music and we always try to have something thatsa国际传媒檚 visual, thatsa国际传媒檚 different with the venue,sa国际传媒� said Loewen, adding when he feels like it, hesa国际传媒檒l rent rack lighting and a LED controller to add to the funk. sa国际传媒淲esa国际传媒檙e more focused on the whole show, making it an act.sa国际传媒�

For Loewen, performances are about creating energy for the crowd, listing Buddy Guy as someone who has that stage control. Daknar also dons a pirate outfit for the performances.

sa国际传媒淲hen you have that moment when you look around and you know that everyonesa国际传媒檚 paying attention, and you hit a change or do a little bridge and come back into the main riff and everybody goes nuts, the rush from that I cansa国际传媒檛 even describe,sa国际传媒� he said. sa国际传媒淚tsa国际传媒檚 not about the attention, itsa国际传媒檚 the energy thatsa国际传媒檚 created and knowing yousa国际传媒檙e the vessel guiding this energy.sa国际传媒�

The bandsa国际传媒檚 EP Earth to Orbit, released in 2015, was recorded live off the floor with Kelownasa国际传媒檚 Music City Studios. Funk You is a little different with less of a raw sound.

The musicians came together in 2013, after attending the Salmon Arm Roots and Blues festival together. They decided they had a musical connection as they jammed after the show.

Loewen said Jimi Hendrix is one of his main influences for guitar when he picked it up in 2006, but he goes through phases which influence the band.

Throughout the summer, Floyd Meets Brown will be releasing eight new tracks, which can be downloaded from bandcamp free of charge or found on iTunes, Spotify and more.

Before the bandsa国际传媒檚 performance in Kelowna, theysa国际传媒檒l perform at the Nakusp Arts Festival on May 6.
