about
An unpredictable music experiment of wordy persuasions and sonic manipulation.
Phunk & Wangles is the songwriting and recording project from J.Phunk and D.Wangles. After separate ancestry searches the two found out they were distantly related. During the wildfire summer of 2021 the two finally met and found out their connection ran deeper than family. The wordsmith song junkie and the music savant started writing songs together immediately. The chemistry was instantaneous and the process was too much fun to stop. Their first single "Getting Ready" was the first song they wrote together as the pandemic and summer wildfires raged. Their debut single also features Pat Steward (The Odds) on drums. "Getting Ready" comes out April 5th.
Phunk and Wangles is the creation of D. Wangles - Doug Elliott (The Odds/Strippers Union/Bander) from Vancouver and J. Phunk - Joseph Pinheiro (phreeagent) from Coldstream. After being evacuated with a fire breaking out on the hillside of their street in the Okanagan, Pinheiro needed respite from the fire season and headed to Vancouver. A family visit over some sushi brought the two together leading to long talks about the pandemic, music and fleeing fires. The creative spark was lit!
lyrics
Let this be, the calamity
The crashing of waves in the sea
I won't let you, go completely
Not until you release me
Getting down
I'm getting ready
Heading out
I'm getting ready
Stay in tune
I'm getting ready
I'm getting ready, to head out and live again
Over covered, under crowded
Did I say that out loud
Again my friend, in the end
I'm getting ready for the letdown
Getting down
I'm getting ready
Heading out
I'm getting ready
Stay in tune
I'm getting ready
I'm getting ready to head out, and live again
Heading out
Stay in tune
I'm getting ready
Staying proud
I'm getting ready
Getting down
Getting ready for getting down
Head out and move around
Getting ready for getting down
Come on, come on
Stay tuned, stay proud
Stay in tune
I'm getting ready to head out, and live again
Getting down
I'm getting ready to head out, and live again
Getting down
I'm getting ready to head out, and live again
I'm getting ready
