The last time these two were releasing music, it was during a pandemic and one of British Columbia's worst fire seasons.

When Phunk (Joseph Pinheiro) started writing with Wangles (Doug Elliott) in 2022, he became hooked on the evolving songwriting process between them. Over a few years, the duo collaborated on over 20 songs. But Phunk didn’t stop there; he kept writing—dozens more songs, lyrics, ideas, riffs, and even some cringe-worthy voice memos. With his ‘Elton John’ unavailable, Phunk turned to AI, forming his temporary backing band, Artificial Ambivalence.

The result is The Phunk Philes, a collection of songwriting demos, featuring “Do You Wanna Feel Special?” as the debut single.

Phunk & Wangles is the songwriting and recording project from J.Phunk and D.Wangles. After separate ancestry searches the two found out they were distantly related. During the wildfire summer of 2021 the two finally met and found out their connection ran deeper than family. The wordsmith song junkie and the music savant started writing songs together immediately. The chemistry was instantaneous and the process was too much fun to stop. A family visit over some sushi brought the two together leading to long talks about the pandemic, music and fleeing fires. The creative spark was lit!

Phunk and Wangles is the creation of D. Wangles - Doug Elliott (The Odds/Strippers Union/Bander) from Vancouver and J. Phunk - Joseph Pinheiro (phreeagent) from Coldstream.
