Influences: That the band members of ‚The Funky Strike’ got together in one band, was a spontaneous idea of the drummer Diego Seyfarth. When Diego, who is a native of Peru, came to Germany. In 2004, he met the Bass-player Jan Hoffmann.The two became friends and often got together in Diego’s four square meters wide cellar room, to cover songs from bands like Metallica or Red Hot Chili Peppers.The guitar-player Steven Altig and Jan knew each other long ago from school and had already played in several cover bands of bands like Rage Against The Machine or Tool. After a while the three of them got together in one cover-band and began to write their own songs. The idea of founding a new band was born but a singer was missing.So Diego asked his friend Markus Lübken, who unhesitatingly joined the band. Now the four thought about a band name, which should express the power but also the joyance of their music, which is heavily influenced by Funk. After only three months they had crated a set to play their first gigs.For everyone of the band members, music is still more like a hobby, anyhow a very intensive hobby. All are at one with the point that the band has become an imported part of life, which is worth lots of trouble, work and time. They take this project serious and work very enthusiastic and with great pleasure.
