On the back of the phenomenal success of The Funkoars and Ash Grunwald collaboration on the track ‘Little Did I Know’ - February 2010 sees them pull a stellar Double Header show together when they join forces for a special run of dates in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane.
With a history running almost 10 years, four albums under their belt, as well as far too many guest appearances and production credits to list, The Funkoars are veterans of the Australian hip-hop scene.
On stage, just as on record, the live shows are Big. Big bass, Big hooks, Big wordplay, Big crowds. The Funkoars are renowned for their remarkable live shows, that are delivered with a brilliant sense of humour, with bangin’ beats, magnetic stage presence and contagious energy, with their usual level of debauchery thrown in.
True to their hard working nature 2009 saw the band release 2 albums “The Hangover” and Premium Edition version of “The Hangover” - and also undertake 2 major national tours. The Adelaide locals and veterans scored plenty of accolades on the road as they took cities and towns by storm with their standout brand of Hip-Hop, and added newfound devotees wherever they went to their ever-growing fan base.
2009 also saw The Funkoars celebrate joining the Golden Era Records family - the newly formed label by fellow Adelaide Hip Hop Legends the Hilltop Hoods - with an all-new “Hangover”. This Premium Edition version of “The Hangover” not only includes the hit singles ‘Black Sally’ and ‘What’s Your Malfunction’, but also the remarkable new track ‘Little Did I know’ which brings them together with ARIA nominated artist Ash Grunwald, and is the inspiration behind the forthcoming run of shows.
With massive support from Triple J over the past year – high rotation airplay and feature album with “Hangover” its no surprise ‘Little Did I know’ is up for voting in Triple J’s Hottest 100.

I think the first time I did the Big Day Out we were sharing the stage with the Black Eyed Peas before they got massive we had a great time hanging out and the audiences were fantastic
