Out Now!

Future Party is a post-punk rock trio comprised of John Godfrey, Stephen Sue and Eric Myers.

The band originally formed in 1990 in the no man’s land of Western New York where the midwest rust belt meets the foothills of Appalaichia. They played under various names until 2000. Eric and Steve continued to pursue careers in music while John took ten years off to enter a Zen monastery.

They reunited in 2023, and their first new album drops April 27, 2024

Listen

The group has drawn comparisons to Suicide, Spacemen 3, guided by voices and the Replacements.
Lyrics explore issues of isolation, fantasy and heartbreak.

Future Party blend pop hooks, psychedelic guitar rock and otherworldly sonic textures to create a sound difficult to pin down but strangely up-lifting.

Their songs live in the extended universe created by the 1982 video of Tom Petty’s “You Got Lucky”.

    When I found you.

“This is party music for the post-capitalist future.

We are living in a time where we are constantly shunting away the thought that the most natural continuation is for us all to die being pummeled by fascists while the environment collapses around us.

But I don't want to die like that. I want to imagine the alternative.

Dystopian futures aren't even science fiction anymore. It's like a joke because they are too relatable. I want to start imagining, not even the utopia, but just the topia beyond this moment.

I want to write music for people who believe a future is possible. These people will have been through some shit, so its not all happy, there's some grief and trauma there, but it is hopeful music, and speculative music. Music that believes in possibility, that believes we aren't done yet, and needs to exorcise some ghosts too.

I think that is also the basis for the “retro” or nostalgic aspect. I don’t think the future will be served to us on a technological silver platter. This isn’t the Jetsons, but it’s also not Mad Max. I think we’ll be building a future from the repurposed wreckage of the past.”
