“Postcard From New York”
Ivonna y Dragona (vocals) have been singing together since the age of five when they first appeared with their mother, Izabel Ducet in her international cabaret act La Femme Fantastique. The girls virtually spent their entire childhood on tour, have never had a permanent address and speak over twelve languages. True citizens of the world, Les Funky Bitches  are still continuously on the move, but their favorite spots remain New York, Paris and Guadeloupe.  Ivonna and Dragona have recorded numerous CD’s and have appeared on many European, Asian and Australian TV shows. Riki “Bo Bo” Escobar (Vocals, Keyboards) was born in Panama where he was orphaned at a young age. He grew up on the streets of Panama City and is not ashamed to admit that he has never attended a single day of school in his life.  Riki enjoyed a brief career as a teen heart throb on daytime TV throughout much of Central America before moving to Denver and starting a second career with the Tramway Rockers.  He looks forward to co-starring with Dragona and Ivonna in the upcoming indie film - Les Funky Bitches Fantastique. Play Song
“Los Rockers Tramway”
Cosmo Moody (Vocals, Acoustic Guitar, Congas, Harmonica) was born in Manchester, UK, where he worked making stove-top trivots by day and played in bar bands by night. On holiday in St. John Pied-a-Port in the French Pyranees, he heard the Funky Bitches sing -- returned home, quit his job, left his friends and family and caught up with Ivonna and Dragona in New York City where he became a Tramway Rocker. Cosmo no longer makes stove-top trivots.

Phillipe Chambord (Congas, Drums, Acoustic Guitar, Harmonica) was born in Quebec, but after spending three winters camped out in a mini-van on the streets of New York selling Christmas trees, he moved there permanently. As a member of a Santana tribute band on a Caribbean cruise ship, Philippe met the Funky Bitches in Quadeloupe and literally jumped ship to join the band. When not playing with the FB’s and Rockers Phillipe can sometimes be found sailing the Caribbean.   Web Site
