Nothing to Say V1 Did u ever get the feelin you're being taken for a ride? Sailing over the tree-tops and far away They talk a load of shit, its obviously a pack of lies So we play this little tune for u, coz i got nothing to say, nothing to say V2 We raise our voices try to shout out loud but not all are heard Now the leader has spoken, u must obey I’m waiting for the day the early worm gets the bird And so we’ll play this little tune for u, coz i got nothing to say, nothing to say V3 Do u wonder if its all a pointless waste of time Turning over a new leaf is such a pain We’ll make it easy try to help each other along the line So well play this little tune for u, coz we got nothing to say, Still nothing to say

The Fabulous Fanculos V1 It was the winter of 1954 The group of people were the strangest that u ever saw The oil lamp flickered and the curtain began to rise And then i saw them there - right before my eyes Those fuckin' fabulous Fanculos, they had the stage Those fuckin' freaky weirdos leave your mind half erased The room was silent, not a whisper or a cry The fabulous Fanculo rocksteady make me high V2 And when i think about that night it all seems bizarre How could i let it happen? how could i let it get far? The atmosphere electric, present tense beginning to fade I got my ticket, gonna join the crazy parade Those fuckin' fabulous Fanculos, they had the stage Those fuckin' freaky weirdos leave your mind half deranged The room was silent, not a whisper or a cry The fabulous Fanculo rocksteady make me high

about

This is the first release from Mumbai SKA band The Fanculos. Contains 3 extremely high-energy, good-time, chunky tracks + a bonus radio edit. We’ve tried to capture the intensity of our live gigs on this EP by tracking it live and keeping it as real as possible.

This horn-fronted, five-peice powerband was dreamt up by Italian/Guyanese, British-born musician Ramon Ibrahim. Ramon was heavily influenced at an early age by British SKA bands such as The Specials, The Beat, Madness, etc. and recently set about writing an original set based on his own interpretation of SKA, reggae and other cool things.
Their live set is a mixture of high energy SKA, dub, reggae, funk and even more high-energy SKA! The main focus of this band is live performance, audience interaction, good times and just general fanculery.
So get yer skanking shoes on and be prepared to jump up and down in a frenetic fashion.

The Fanculos are made up of healthy, well-nourished and very talented Mumbai musicians -

Ryan Sadri on tenor sax
JJ on drums
Apurv Isaac (Lala) on guitars and backing vocals,
Saurabh Suman (The Prince of Saurabia) on bass
Ramon Ibrahim on vocals, trombone and keys
