When Graham and I (Purpleganda) first articulated the philosophy of The Funky Ones we chose two specific guiding principles for our funky festivities: inclusion and attention to detail.

i can dress myself’s album release last week was the perfect manifestation of this mission. Together with all of our beautiful, loving and talented friends we threw the most epic gala where everyone simply delighted each other.

I would like to thank some of the people who created this summit event but most of all I would like to thank the glamourous Emily Squirmbot Thundermouse Haltom for crafting a truly unforgettable affair. Brava my dear!

Thank you to Dex Stakker andNeonbunny Lapine for the triumphant dance floor.
Thank you Bené Rather-Taylor, Becky Neil and Jonathan Chan our brilliant I Can Dance Commanders.
Thank you Joseph Meyer (aka Josef Fasik) our brilliant producer and sound technician for the evening.
Thank you Eric Wilson and Michael Angelo Passalalpi for a stunning light show.
Thank you to Barb and the blue macaw, our gracious hosts.
Thank you to the Bottlecap Gazebo, Max Poynton, Andrew Grinberg and Jonny Poynton for a gorgeous installation.
Thank you Isaiah Weintraub and Om Refor helping us shlep all of our gear around.
Thank you Carlo de la Sera and Stuart Philkill of Vidola Productions for documenting the affair.
And finally, thank you to everyone who volunteered, promoted and attended “it’s nice actually.” I love all of you so much.

Absurd-dance-band i can dress myself, known for their blend of electroacoustic-funk, nerdcore rapping, flailing dance parties and abrupt costume changes is unleashing their debut album it’s nice actually.

Come out of your winter hibernation and dress for visual stimulation and spring awakening: ruffled shirts, skirts, & bright-and-light colors just in time for Easter.

i can dress myself

San Francisco’s very own silly electroacoustic band produces face-melting dance beats with melodies both whimsical and a little creepy. Join Thundermouse, the Minister of Purpleganda and Graham as they warn you of alien invasions, get down with stegosaurus and leave you boneless. This unique and ecletic trio will freestyle, bow and blast you into the future where (spoiler alert!) there are also dinosaurs.
