With half-South African, half-Japanese vocalist Someya Saigo at their core, FUNKIST is a seven member (including percussion and flute) group with an original style that defies categorisation. This hard-working live band is constantly on the move, playing over 100 shows a year throughout Japan and around the world. In addition to their live performances they also participate in events promoting peace and environmental awareness.
July 16th, 2008 sees the much-anticipated FUNKIST major debut maxi-single "My Girl". Moving lyrics and melody combine with dense beats that come straight out of Someya Saigo's alternate homeland of South Africa to evoke an 'Afro-Punk Beats' passion that will bring you to your knees! The hottest sound to hit the streets this summer!
