Five Alarm Funk has officially thrown down the best gig in the city this May weekend. Opened by
The Soul Motivators and
AfterFunk, Five Alarm Funk is a band known for it's on-stage hijinks. Their bare-chested members smirked at groupies while drummers spewed body fluids onto the crowd below. The gig was kinda epic, with music that got the entire crowd moving. Not just the usual front-row band geeks or the troublemakin' skin moshers, we're talking everyone. People were actually dancing

We loved their song, "Hey Critic", which was inspired by well, a critic who now eats crow. Their energy reached everyone who cared to listen, and we'd recommend band stalking when it gets this good.
Check out more photos here for evidence of a good time.

ChartAttack also called it a 'potent mind altering substance.' They've
graced stages at a number of festivals including Toronto Jazz Festival,
Ottawa Blues Fest, and Summer Meltdown in Washington state, not to
mention countless sold-out shows at the Commodore Ballroom in their home
