Richards on Richards shut their doors for good today as thousands of Vancouver music lovers wept helplessly and reminisced over the countless wicked shows they'd seen there. Five Alarm Funk would like to thank everyone at Richards for suporting us over the years, all the fans that came to be a part of the magic last night or anynight for that matter, and last but not least the Star Captains for kicking off the night with one hell of a set.

Special guests announced soon.

We would like to thank everyone that came out to support us last night at Richards, it was the hottest of hot fires. Eric Solomon and his all-star band got the crowd going early with a banger of an opening set and before long the nightclub walls were sweating and the grilled cheese was flowing. Our next gig is the Commodore's big Halloween party so get a crazy costume on the go because they have cash prizes and we all know how much you love to play dress-up.

Five Alarm Funk's busy summer touring schedule has come to an end thus giving everyone a chance to catch up on neglected responsibility's such as laundry, cleaning, and writing news updates to name a few. To everyone who came out and supported us this summer we'd like to extend our deepest gratitude, you all helped make this summer most gnar. We are sad to regret that we will no longer be opening for Sly Stone on Sept 6. as the show has been canceled. On a more positive note we will still be throwing the funk javelin at Richards on Richards on Sept 12. with special guest Eric Solomon so run don't walk to Redcat, Zulu, Scratch, Beatstreet, or Highlife and get your tickets.
