Drunkest man alive award goes to Rumble, mangini styles!

Wicked... so glad this went well. Drunkeness, DnB and Electric Light Hotel. 3 of my favourite things in the world. I'll definately be there next month. Was mildly under the weather this weekend so was spewing to have to spend a quiet night in.

dancefloor was rockin when i left at 1

Man i was so pumped for this night and my car had to fuck up didnt it! spent the night rewiring my whole ignition at the Burnside Zest carpark. not happy at all!!

had a rad time, love the venue. funkshop is back!

honourable mention goes to rumble and his mankini, what a legend.

yep venue is fucking sick sound is nice without being 2 loud

bigups to waking up still wearing said mankini fuck i was drunk

i dont think anyone got even close to my wife jen's drunkeness.......it took all three bouncers to get her out, and it was on the third attempt they gave up and her friend had to carry her out on her back.

appologies to anyone who had to put up with her, she was wearing a hot pink dress, well it was bairly on most the night.

i wish i coul dhave spent more time at funkshop, sorry khem i had to cut our chat short........

all good mate, i could see your attention was required elsewhere. hope she pulled up ok!

Rumble that sounds like a challenge for next time

haha i'd accept it but i'd need to be swiming in a pool full of alcahol to be any more drunk

apparently i was laying in the middle of the road out the front and it took troy,dribs,ben and tallboy to lift me into the taxi

 

Rumble in his "mankini"

image not archived: funkshop065xz2.jpg


And then hanging out of the taxi as it was driving off..... 

Funny shit Rumble!

next time rumble lose the shirt!

 
I'll lend ya my singlet 

thats gold, by the time we got back home, i bairly managed to carry jen near the front door where she then slipped thru my arms and was lying on the front lawn/dirt and was quite content to sleep there. quite a funny sight seeing ya wife all dressed up in the feeble position in a pile of dirt...priceless!!

 

what time did she wake up?

I got home at 6ish and tried to sleep but it was to no avail

Did u guys keep celebrating the next day

she got up around 3 sat arvo, we partied till about 3am sunday morn, well kev and i did

Haha,   ha,   ha... so is your face... hahahaha
Nah, not really feeling in the mood and building up the finances are my top priority for the first time in... well, the first time ever really.

sorry guys , due to the massive dj line up and ginormous costs to this once in a lifetime event the doorlist will not be valid. thank u for understanding

Wikid night wiked tunes wiked peeps 

yeah was a top nite...patchy oh my fucking god!!! smashed it! and stryke rocked the fucking mic

dam straight, and DJ Fiction was pretty dam good, not to mention the little french lad on the mic!! Good on ya!!

Was an awesome night friday! Cheers to Simmo, Curt and Jules for chance to play. I had great time up there fo'sure. Wikid vibe there that night.

What can I say..as usual Patchy smashed it in fine form, ur a machine mate!

had a wicked night Curt set the pace early rollin deep. Enjoyed asylums set nice selection and some tidy mixing. Jules destroyed it and simmo took it home strong with stryke rockin the mic and countless bourbons under my belt i had a great night and felt quite ordinary for it... nice one

'twas good

shame I had to leave after 2 pints

was a good night, although i struggled thru was scared i was goin to have some drunk re injure my knee.

asylums set what i heard was spot on, patch had a smasher too.

im really liking the venue, great to have a few drinks and catch up . plus the sound is sounding alright now days aswell.

Spewing I missed this.... Funkshops never disappoints.

But Issues at the Door had me heading home upon entry.. O well - Many more to come. 

Mods please.. upcoming?
shesh 

When's the next one?

what's wrong exactly?

filter and i are thinking of combining our  good body parts and making a bionic inbound man.

dont forget its free entry befor 11 if ya wanna pop in for a beer.

 You should tie your bung legs together like a 3 legged race.

Although I havent seen for myself I've heard "impressive" tales about both gentlemen that would definitely make it closer to a 5 legged race.

HAHAHAHA!

bahahaha Crippie boys  Crippie boys say boh

I have my xmas party tomoz lunch and I am thinking if i am paro enuff i will try to roll there

see how it goes thou me no promise nuffin

Yeah come on, roll on down and we'll hang out with the crippie crew.

Got a birthday to go to tonight but will try and make it later. Will try and pull some of them to go too.

Work xmas doo on tonight, dare say I'll be down afterwoods.

Its been quite a journey over the last few years.
Myself and Simon started up Funkshop at Tonic at a time when there was a big lack of a regular all local drum and bass night. It went from strength to strength and we had some absolute blistering nights, with mad sets from everyone that stepped up to pump it out. When the time came, we had to find a new home, which we were thinking about for a few months before Tonic shut down, and now its been well received and firmly holds it head up high at the Producers Bar @ Electric Light Hotel.
As I leave I hand over my reigns to one of my closest and dearest friends, Mr Filter, who i know always keeps it real and has the music at top priority in his heart.  I have the utmost respect for him and Simo and wish them well with Funkshop in the future.

Its my last night there tonight so if you wanna be a part of my last shop experience then please come down.

Lots of love to all that have made it special.
Patch

  

It'll keep rockin. All the best in your endeavors mate!

yeah nice post patchy...i have had so many top nites at the shop....and will continue to do so 

ditto!!!

patchy, u brang a tear to my eye.

yes mate. been an absolute pleasure working with you for so many years. funkshop has been a great project for us for 2 and half years now.  i will miss u smashin it every month , now im goin to have to step up!

big ups p

simon

yeah i've had some top nights there for sure thanks to both of you guys won't be able to make it tonight though i'll see yas tomorrow

yeah same here! might drop in for a bit

good to see funkshop will continue bringin the funk each month

will def be in 4 a few bevos along with the dr

if u get the chance to read this were in the actual electric light hotel bar tonight, just out the back were it looks like a royal throne room

Will definitely be in tonite for a few drinks.

This is my going out night this weekend.

See yahs all there! 

feeling drunken, will be a mess when im there.

gonna have to come down for sure.
when i worked at tonic on some of the first funkshops it really opened my eyes to the quality vibe and awesome people that drum n bass gets together

seeing the patch rippin up back then pretty much inspired me n my mate to start spinning tunes... few hundred vinyls and a couple of years later were starting to get there..

ive been to every funkshop exept for two so i guess im gonna have to drag my drunken arse down there

big ups to you lads - jules, kurt n simmo keep the drunkshops rollin

werd

ended up at the pub...too drunk to drive...peaking i am missing it

taxi!

taxi there and taxi home would be around $60....add to that im working tomorrow and it just dont seem like a goer

fair call... still it is significantly cheaper than what it would cost for me to get there

that is also a fair call 

There were some quality wankers at this last night. Ugh.

Fun times anyways.

Tell me about it!

The guy in the red shirt spraying the fire hydrant all over everyone, ummm hello, did you think it might go all over the decks you fuck nob!

I hope that shit isn't toxic, it went all over me!


And that wanker in the green shirt who looked like he was trying to look up Vics dress, fuckin pervert!


But before all that, was a great night!

Pics will be up on Ringo soon

There were some quality wankers pretty much everywhere last night. I think last night must have been wanker night in Adelaide.

 
I must have left before that incident, did he receive appropriate discipline??!?
_______
There was an interesting mix last night, not your usual funkshop crowd
I had a good time while I was there though

I think that there was a pub crawl style crew out back or something

Good to see randoms filtering in and getting into the Drum & Bass

fuckin footy players full of piss on the off season....
still had fun but 

heaps different crowd too...

Not quite sure why those guys were still being served SHOTS and shit, when it was totally fucking obvious they should be CUT OFF. Fucking assholes they were. Same wanker that ruined Alix Perez by jumping like a fucking retard near the decks and shoving his hands in everyone's face on stage. GRRR. UGH.

The guy in the red shirt *and* the guy in the green shirt were both on the ground looking up Vic's dress and obviously didn't get the message when I told them to fuck off the first time. UGH.

I wonder what it was that got sprayed all over me, just figured it was someone's drink 

Fuck I hate daft cunts.

thats fucked

In future you should point it out to security or something, because from working in a bar, I can tell you that it's quite hard to tell whether  someone should be cut off in that short space of time that you serve them. I dunno what security are like there though.

He sprayed the fire hose & then left real quick, I seen a security guard saying something to them outside.

Wankers!

was pretty busy all night.

definetley some different heads, id say because of the different used room

what did people think of the room, do u prefer the producers bar?

room change was out of our control..

I prefer the Producers bar, but out the back might be good also
[unless there are some weak noise restrictions out there]

Unfortunetly i didn't make it in on Fri, but I think the main room would be better than the Producers Bar.
And maybe moving it all out into the beer garden could be good on nice nights.

the room was alright but im more a fan of producers. out the back could be interesting though.

i was at home

next funkshop is friday jan 4.

line up announced soon.

yeah, but unfortunately you don't decide the room on the day when you know what the weather will be.

not like you can just say, 'oh the weather's good, let's do it outside instead'.

True, but you can make assumptions based on current weather trends and the time of year.

wont be outside anyway.

also known as seasons 

okee dokke ive sorted the dj line up

friday jan 4

fiction
roost
synx
westo

plus mc stryke tbc

also look out for funkshop big day out recovery feat concord dawn.

 

That night @ tonic was off tha hook!!!
And we get to do it all over again!!!!!!!! But better

IMO the last show in the 'throne room' just didn't seem right. Lots of tards there on the night but.

Beer garden would be great but a decent system would have to be brought out there for DnB. Plus I can see myself going ass up on the bricks.

I reckon the Producer's Bar is a great little spot.

..way better than Gabrielle's Room 

im all for producers bar.

looking forward to kicking back a few this friday. Good way to recover from the last few weeks of the silly season.

okee dokeee its free entry all night this friday

doors open 9 - 3

this one is in the cocktail bar same as the last one.

dj line up:

9 westo
1030 roost
12 fiction
130 synx

plus mc stryke on the mic.

mods this event has passed 

its a monthly gig, so im sure the funk shop boys will update the thread title once the details for the next one are released

yeah was joking as bored as you were yesterday look at ur time of post freaky

So how was it? Was going to go but got pretty drunk at the BDO

yes people how was it? I really wanted to go to this but missed out

I wanted to go as well but was just too tired after rage and didn't have any "banned" to pick me up.

This was one of the nicest gigs I've been at in a while hey. Musically it was excellent. All the locals killed and the Concord Dawwn set started on kind of a hospital tip and slowly got deeper and more grimey as the night went on. Fuckin perfect IMO. Also a wicked atmosphere, positive vibe and everyone was really chatty. More nights like this please.

bigups to those who came out to help me celebrate and to all those who kept my hands full all night long dam i paid for it the next day don't think i moved for about 6 hours after i dragged myself outa bed

bigups inbound on another rocking night

big ups to all crew at the concord gig, and also the bdo messy crew inside!

ok the next funkshop will be friday march 7 stay tuned for info.

so whats the go for this friday? producers again?

yo crew

the funkshop boys (fiction, filter, patch) have decide that funkshop wont be happening anymore.

the time has come for us to look forward and possibly do funkshop again later in the year at a new venue.

the last show with concord dawn was a cool way to finish up.

big ups to all crew who supported us at electric light, we have had plenty of fun nights there.

 

DITTO

 

i luv the funkshop...

Oh noooooo!

Lets hope you guys are back sooner rather than later...

Concord was a good way to finish it here though. What a night!

Ken oath, cheers to the funkshop crew.     Im sure it will return bigger and better than ever (new venue sounds cool)

Devvo!

shit hey, a bit of a shock. hope its back better than ever sometime soon. cheers for the good times i've always had there.

it is a sad moment indeed   

yeah spewing about this, i haven't been to one in a while but fuck there have been some monsters.

Why don't ya Just move it to Wyatt Street Every Friday !!!!!!!!!! 

 

Already looking foward to it's Return...    Drunkshop
