The track is called Funk You, and it含羞草研究社檚 meant to pick you up after a tiring work day.

The Kelowna psychedelic funk band officially released the single Friday morning before hitting the road to Vancouver.

They含羞草研究社檒l be back to Kelowna however, for a show on May 27.

The song is meant to be 含羞草研究社渟assy with the intention of loosening up, unwinding from the everyday, coming home from work含羞草研究社� said guitarist Josh Loewen.

Funk You is a mix of smooth guitar licks, groovy bass and encourages dance with lyrics 含羞草研究社渂e free, clear your mind and your body will follow含羞草研究社漵ung by 含羞草研究社淭he Captian含羞草研究社� Ryan Daknar and Loewen.

Floyd Meets Brown consists of four members, each offering different nuances. Daknar sings, plays trumpet and percussion, Rhys Boardman performs with his funky bass, Dustin King takes drums and Loewen plays guitar, percussion as well as sings.

The band collaborates while creating songs, but when Loewen writes the instruments come before the lyrics.

含羞草研究社淚含羞草研究社檓 drawn to instruments in tracks rather than lyrics,含羞草研究社� he said. 含羞草研究社淚 listen to notes and melodies and rhythms and that含羞草研究社檚 poetic to me.含羞草研究社�

Performance wise, the funk band faces challenges standing out in a world full of social media. Loewen says it含羞草研究社檚 about showing your passion and being creative with the venue.

含羞草研究社淚 try to encompass not just a musical performance, but a show. What I mean by that is, you含羞草研究社檙e so into it, that it含羞草研究社檚 real. We keep it very passionate about the music and we always try to have something that含羞草研究社檚 visual, that含羞草研究社檚 different with the venue,含羞草研究社� said Loewen, adding when he feels like it, he含羞草研究社檒l rent rack lighting and a LED controller to add to the funk. 含羞草研究社淲e含羞草研究社檙e more focused on the whole show, making it an act.含羞草研究社�

For Loewen, performances are about creating energy for the crowd, listing Buddy Guy as someone who has that stage control. Daknar also dons a pirate outfit for the performances.

含羞草研究社淲hen you have that moment when you look around and you know that everyone含羞草研究社檚 paying attention, and you hit a change or do a little bridge and come back into the main riff and everybody goes nuts, the rush from that I can含羞草研究社檛 even describe,含羞草研究社� he said. 含羞草研究社淚t含羞草研究社檚 not about the attention, it含羞草研究社檚 the energy that含羞草研究社檚 created and knowing you含羞草研究社檙e the vessel guiding this energy.含羞草研究社�

The band含羞草研究社檚 EP Earth to Orbit, released in 2015, was recorded live off the floor with Kelowna含羞草研究社檚 Music City Studios. Funk You is a little different with less of a raw sound.

The musicians came together in 2013, after attending the Salmon Arm Roots and Blues festival together. They decided they had a musical connection as they jammed after the show.

Loewen said Jimi Hendrix is one of his main influences for guitar when he picked it up in 2006, but he goes through phases which influence the band.

Throughout the summer, Floyd Meets Brown will be releasing eight new tracks, which can be downloaded from bandcamp free of charge or found on iTunes, Spotify and more.

Before the band含羞草研究社檚 performance in Kelowna, they含羞草研究社檒l perform at the Nakusp Arts Festival on May 6.
