The Underground Stage
“FVNERAL play with a brand new lineup tonight but the deeply emotional pop remains the same. Raising funds for the amazing Transgenre event later this year – and being smushed into this tiny venue – reminds us we’re here for each other too, and not just because of these glittering, wonderful songs of shared pain.” […]
“If I wasn’t crying at the announcement earlier in the day that the artists in FVNERAL are calling time on this particular project, I was – again – left damn near bawling like a toddler during the set. Hearts are broken and filled in rapid and almost-cruel succession, an elevator ride that only takes you […]
“FVNERAL’s capacity to create joy out of sadness and trauma is – and I may have mentioned this before – astonishing. These songs are deeply, deeply sad but they draw tears of defiance and progression, they contain power and fuel – they do not submit. The fact that they also seem to be turning into […]
“FVNERAL’s set is smart as it is sensitive, as touching – and as full of pain – as ever but somehow still enough to keep the late-night vibes high. The fact that there is a band like this in the world makes me happy every time, even through the emotional jolts.” Gallery Listen
“FVNERAL are moving slowly but steadily from a band that initially only played incredibly sad and beautiful songs into a band that plays incredibly sad and beautiful songs but is determined to make us miserable buggers have a good time anyway. It’s still mostly set somewhere in a deep, dark well of sad – but […]
“FVNERAL’s deceptively gentle songs have always hidden their fangs and spikes, but tonight they’re a bit more visible than usual. If you’ve ever listened to – or burst into wailing, uncontrollable tears to – a track of theirs, you’ll know they don’t need any more emotional weight, but tonight the whole thing lands with added […]
“It’s a bit of a left-facing turn towards poppier territory for the normally gossamer-delicate FVNERAL, but this collaboration with jnr highlights both their strengths to create something very lovely indeed”
As 2023 curled up and died in the corner, December still served up some musical treats to warm the cockles, and they all got stuffed into this month’s digital fanzine. Two brilliant day-long events – Fangzstock and Transgenre – took up a lot of the stage time, and were both inspirational examples of how artist-run, […]
“FVNERAL play their own Transgenre party tonight, bringing the sad into the celebration in a way that still leaves us lifted and buoyed. Handily one of my favourite bands of the year, while easily one of the hardest things to listen to. Magical.” Gallery Learn More Instagram | TikTok
