The Waverley welcomes back 2011 Western Canadian Music Award winners Five Alarm Funk on April 6.
Anything is Possible won for Instrumental Recording of the Year.
Five Alarm Funk is a horn-powered, percussion-fuelled sonic and visual assault. For many years the band has brought their relentless and unforgettable live show to clubs and major festivals across Canada and the United States.
Five Alarm Funk on stage is an unstoppable orgy of energy. The 10 musicians perform intricate and airtight arrangements with delirious dance moves and full on head-banging. Choreographed arm movements coincide with melodic climaxes while the four percussionists create a true spectacle.
The band’s third studio album Anything is Possible was released July 2010.
The band had a number of performances for the Vancouver/Whistler 2010 Olympic Games. Minutes after Canada was awarded the gold medal in hockey, Five Alarm Funk took the stage at the Hockey House and performed to a delirious crowd.
Joining them April 6 is Australia’s exciting surf rock duo Carter Rollins.
