They’ve had more hits on MySpace than James Brown has kissed himself, and are currently cutting up more Asian disco floors than Kool & The Gang at a breakdance competition. Masterminded by chief songwriters, Canadian lead singer, Todd Shymko (aka Toddy), and Dutch-born backing vocalist and percussionist, Marcel Albert (aka Von Groovemeister), this explosive duo first hooked up in the summer of 2006, and will be one of the bands to watch out for in 2009.
Greatly complimented by some of Tokyo..s finest up-and-coming musical talent in the new line-up: - Minato Hattori (bass); Suzuki Junichi (drums); K.J. (guitar); O-Chan (keys); Ebisutani Shunta (sax); Sakko (trumpet)- Full of in-the-pocket grooves and more hooks than a butcher’s meat locker.
Every gig is a party, every performance a high-energy-affair, guaranteed to put love in your heart, a smile on your face and a spring in your step. So hitch a funky-ride, as SUPERFUNKTION eats up those white lines on the road to Groove City, get on in and strap yourselves down. The engine’s already started !!!
