Five Alarm Funk is a Vancouver-based, 12-piece rhythm machine that pounds out a delirium-inducing live show brimming with original funk and afro-beat grooves. The band�s horn and percussion-driven instrumental jams feature searing guitar leads and horn solos wailing and soaring above a four-man percussion maelstrom that is grounded by Neil Towers� juicy bass lines. The band�s wicked cross-rhythms and frenetic, costumed stage show appeals to jazz fans and clubs kids alike.

Five Alarm Funk has carved out a word of mouth fan base from a series of crowd-pleasing performances at clubs, concert halls, and festivals throughout B.C. Interaction between the crowd and the band is a huge part of the show, and we try to make every show an event. The band�s playful, high-energy live show is fueled by skin-tight arrangements and raw, sweat-drenched passion. From its founding as a six-piece in 2003, the young band (average age is 23) has grown into one of the most exciting and unique groups in Canada.
