unzo have performed over 150 gigs in Ireland since 2009, most notably, Ireland's (and Europe's) premiere music festivals; Oxegen, Electric Picnic and Hard Working Class Heroes. In 2008 and 2009, Funzo were invited to headline The Pogues' Aftershow Party, where they were joined on stage by Shane MacGowan himself. In 2009, Funzo won their third national songwriting contest; Christmas FM's 'Search For A New Christmas Classic', which resulted in mass national radio play and a live performance on TV3's 'Ireland AM', the nation's #1 morning programme.

Funzo's debut single, 'This Christmas', was released in December 2010 and entered the Official Irish Charts as the highest independent entry on two consecutive weeks. As well as being a national radio hit in Ireland, the single received vast airplay in the US, being featured on radio stations in 25 different states. The song's official video was directed by NBC's Lydia Robertson.

Funzo have also received widespread airplay and live airtime in Ireland; on RTÉ 2FM, Today FM, Newstalk, FM 104 and Ireland's most listened to radio station, RTÉ Radio 1. Funzo have caught the attention of the national print media too, resulting in a full-page feature in Ireland's most popular music magazine, HotPress, as well as being deemed one of the 'Picks Of Electric Picnic' in The Irish Times in 2009.

So far in 2011, Funzo have performed live on Ireland's #1 radio station, RTÉ Radio 1, on a number of occasions; have launched a merchandise line, and have successfully sold-out The Workman's Club venue in Dublin. After a summer of recording, a new set of tracks are set for release in the fall.
