Emily & Ashlynn of Suspicious Package are FUNraising for a great project on Kickstarter. They are producing a video for their next Bio-Pop single, “Bird of Prey,” featuring live falcons trained by Mike Dupuy, a raptor specialist. With infectious and inspiring music, these ladies are inviting us to dance and celebrate the vast and beautiful bio-diversity of Earth.

Check out their videos below and contribute what you can! Spread the word for a better world.

Suspicious Package’s 1st Bio-Pop video, “Hummingbird”

Kickstarter video proposal for “Bird of Prey” video

From Emily of Suspicious Package:

Following your dreams takes determination, forward thinking, and humility. And sometimes it takes asking everyone you know to throw down a few bucks for the cause.

We only have 9 days left to FUNraise for creating a crucial Bio-Pop piece, and you can get neato prizes if you pledge some support. If you can even spare $5, it would mean so much to us in moving forward with our art and our dreams of Bio-Pop.

Donate now and get a special thank you treat!

Planet Rump is keeping things funky-fresh by focusing on writing and recording their next album and taking a break from performing live. But worry not! DJ Tantric and Miss Strawberry are continuing to rock the party via frequent DJ sets, and Nasty Ness is keepin it extra funky in the Caribbean! Get ready for the re-emergence of Planet Rump’s live set this spring with brand new songs and super-charged live performance energy!

Until then, don’t stop dancing! Check out the video clip of Planet Rump’s DJ set at Glasslands and some photos from other recent get-downs, and definitely come let loose at the Golden Arrows album party on Thursday March 3 at Canal Room!

In case you’re dying to know where DJ Tantric and Miss Strawberry find their funky threads, they are handmade one-of-a-kind originals by Brooklyn designer Jillian Lanier. Check out more custom pieces here.

Check out this dope remix/mashup of Funky in the Street by Nite Club! Just like our new music video, this is a tribute to George Clinton: land the mothership in Brooklyn and let’s funktify the universe!

The track samples “Atomic Dog” by George Clinton, off his 1982 album Computer Games. Awesome video!! >>>

The day we’ve been waiting for is HERE! We are so incredibly happy to share our first music video with you. Made DIY-style in Brooklyn, NY by a group of extremely talented friends and fellow musicians/artists/creators, we are finally ready to share our baby with the universe. This video is dedicated to GEORGE CLINTON: Please land the mothership in Brooklyn! THANKS TO EVERYONE INVOLVED FOR MAKING OUR DREAMS COME TRUE!

Enjoy, share and spread the FUNK!
