The track is called Funk You, and it害羞草研究所檚 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.

They害羞草研究所檒l be back to Kelowna however, for a show on May 27.

The song is meant to be 害羞草研究所渟assy with the intention of loosening up, unwinding from the everyday, coming home from work害羞草研究所� said guitarist Josh Loewen.

Funk You is a mix of smooth guitar licks, groovy bass and encourages dance with lyrics 害羞草研究所渂e free, clear your mind and your body will follow害羞草研究所漵ung by 害羞草研究所淭he Captian害羞草研究所� 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.

害羞草研究所淚害羞草研究所檓 drawn to instruments in tracks rather than lyrics,害羞草研究所� he said. 害羞草研究所淚 listen to notes and melodies and rhythms and that害羞草研究所檚 poetic to me.害羞草研究所�

Performance wise, the funk band faces challenges standing out in a world full of social media. Loewen says it害羞草研究所檚 about showing your passion and being creative with the venue.

害羞草研究所淚 try to encompass not just a musical performance, but a show. What I mean by that is, you害羞草研究所檙e so into it, that it害羞草研究所檚 real. We keep it very passionate about the music and we always try to have something that害羞草研究所檚 visual, that害羞草研究所檚 different with the venue,害羞草研究所� said Loewen, adding when he feels like it, he害羞草研究所檒l rent rack lighting and a LED controller to add to the funk. 害羞草研究所淲e害羞草研究所檙e more focused on the whole show, making it an act.害羞草研究所�

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.

害羞草研究所淲hen you have that moment when you look around and you know that everyone害羞草研究所檚 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 can害羞草研究所檛 even describe,害羞草研究所� he said. 害羞草研究所淚t害羞草研究所檚 not about the attention, it害羞草研究所檚 the energy that害羞草研究所檚 created and knowing you害羞草研究所檙e the vessel guiding this energy.害羞草研究所�

The band害羞草研究所檚 EP Earth to Orbit, released in 2015, was recorded live off the floor with Kelowna害羞草研究所檚 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 band害羞草研究所檚 performance in Kelowna, they害羞草研究所檒l perform at the Nakusp Arts Festival on May 6.
