Rattling Bones

Rattling Bones

Rattling Bones was a New York City-based band from 1991-1993, playing blues-based hard rock reminiscent of Deep Purple and the Black Crowes. The band originally called themselves "Funhouse" and were based out of Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota. After several unsuccessful attempts of traveling from the midwest to the East and West coast failed to snare them a recording contract, the band changed its name and took up residence in New York City's lower East Side.

The band was originally managed by Herb Gart, whose claim to fame was launching the careers of notables such as Buzzy Linhart, Don McLean and other 1960's and 70's folk-era artists. After parting with Gart in 1992, the band secured a management deal with Nederlander Group, known primarily for their ownership of Broadway theaters, outdoor amphitheaters and other performance venues. The band also collaborated with co-managers Bill Aucoin and David Krebs, of Kiss and Aerosmith fame, respectively.

Even after a multitude of recording sessions with internationally acclaimed producers (including Jack Douglas of Aerosmith; Rob Stevens of John Lennon & Yoko Ono; Mick Ronson of David Bowie's Spiders from Mars), the band succeeded only in landing a deal with New Line Cinema to be on the soundtrack to Surf Ninjas. (The band's track "Monkey In The Jungle" opens the movie, while lead singer Neal Sundet contributes his voice to an additional track "From Now On.")

Band members:

Neal Sundet: Lead Vocals

Brynn Arens: Guitar and vocals

Greg Eidem: Bass and vocals

Joachim Baecker: Drums & percussion

After disbanding in 1994, Sundet continued to record with other groups. He lives In Ontario with his family and has recorded work for the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, . Arens and Eidem joined forces and created the band Flipp. Baecker returned to Minneapolis and has since worked with a multitude of local artists.
