30-Minute Music Hour

Awesome Car Funmaker

"Existential party rock designed to make you think about the head you are banging," is how Awesome Car Funmaker describes their own sound. One of the hardest working punk-rock-dance outfits in the state, Awesome Car Funmaker is at the top of Madison's very active indy-rock heap. Formed in 2003 and with over 300 shows (many of them all-ages) under its belt, Awesome Car has just pulled to the curb with a brand new CD, E Is For Everybody. While the record pops with party-hearty tunes, the band isn't afraid to bring heavier themes to the beer keg. Like God, war, and Mars. Awesome Car Fumanker is a "Top Rock Band" winner in the Madison Area Music Awards.
