They bring the noise but absolutely no funk

Thirsty_moore
Ever hear one of those bands that it's so bad, it's funny. If they ever had to elect a president to rule the society of unintentionally funny bands, then it would be Thirsty Moore and the Funk Fakers.You might think this could be a Sonic Youth tribute band, but you'd be dead wrong.

You know you're going to be in for a great night when you can't tell the difference between the sound check and the start of the show.

I went to Uptown Bar and saw these guys perform and my ears immediately felt like they were going to bleed when I walked in because of all the feedback. The lyrics consist of crude sexual jokes that would've been funny in fifth grade, and the music feels like they'd just bought instruments and decided to practice in front of a crowd.

I did find myself laughing the whole night, so I have to give them credit for that. This is one of those bands that has to be heard to be believed, so check out their NSFW MySpace. I personally like the one about the lead singer washing his privates. It's nothing compared to their live show, though, so if you're  looking for a cheap laugh, track 'em down.
