A legendary band that never got the fame they deserved. I saw them 2x in the late 80's in Cambridge and Somerville MA. At the Somerville show there was a kid there from Berkeley Coll of Music screaming "Manic" over and over, and it wasn't until they played an encore that i understood; Defunkt played the sickest cover of Manic Depression you could ever imagine. It was pure funk ecstasy. Thank you, Joe Bowie, Kim Clarke, and Kenny Martin (and the trumpeter and guitar player, but I only ever focused on those 3). So, so special.

How boring are the actual racemacines 😢

SWIGGY WIGGY!!!

I remember hearing this song for the first time in a demo cassette that accompanied a Thrasher (or related) skate mag. Man, this brings me back . Bet I still have that cassette in a box somewhere.

This album is best appreciated in the BLAST mode. A definite influence to me in the 90’s.

I first discovered Defunkt as a young kid in Brooklyn growing up in the 80s because I randomly chanced upon the radio station WFMU and heard the track Batman by Defunkt and was like “This is so cool!” I think this was either 1988 or 1989, and I saw Defunkt was playing a show by reading The Village Voice, and I got my older brother to take me to the old Knitting Factory in Houston Street to see them. Now realize just how crazy and unusual that would be now - an 18 year old taking his 13 year old brother to see a Hard Funk band at a Lower East Side music club, and be let in to see the music! Maybe I even had a beer. Man. Different times. Wild. Unsure if Kim Clarke was playing but I remember Joseph Bowie well and man I thought you guys were and are one of the coolest things about NYC music and The Knitting Factory scene. Thank you!

Es ist immer wieder ein Genuss, diese herrlichen Motorräder zu hören, die 5Zylinder klingt wie ein kleines Kind, die 6Zylinder wie eine zornige Hornisse!! Es waren herrliche Zeiten, purer Spaß und Genuß!! 🏍️💪👍🙋

Kim, i love you.

Preciosa moto y el mejor piloto hasta cuando?

I would luv to have a go on that bike cheers

Fark'n awesome !

alltimefav 😍

I saw them on Rotterdam New Pop around 1979. Great band, I was impressed

what a band!

that bass and guitar are smooth as butter

Great!

Kim Clarke for President!!!

What a special car.

凄い、身震いがするわ。 良い興奮をありがとうございました。

that briggs flathead they used to start the bike is a 209 cc 5hp lol nearly twice the size engine than on the bike.

How was it able to rev so high without pneumatic valves?

タコメーターの数字が半端ない！

I'm asking if brit-funk music came from band like these...

I propose making 2 precise replicas of this engine and give them to Allen Millyard so he can make a lovely little 250cc V-10. I know, I know...but it would be a hoot.

The little starter just sort of putt-putting along, then WWWRRRROAARRRR A snarling jungle beast makes it's appearance.

Look out here comes a strange injection...you got that right!

Братиша,я рос на твоем творчестве.... Senser-вы лучшие!

Sounds GREAT!

She is. ❤

yo .My First Song from Defunkt----I was Funkt;-)))))))))))

The best band ever…

Armpit funk at its best.

about a million years ago i got this album in a shop in cambridge.... best album ever ,,,, you won't change me

amazing sounds

They rock! Harder than the most out there

Some of these bikes Honda were building in the 60s were just amazing

We saw/heard Phil Read on the Mv in 1976 at the Hutchinson hundred at Brands. What a sound! You could hear it bellowing

Yahh Kim Clarke has always ben the top of every Bass player global ! No doubt about that ;-) Muthaphunkaz !

一度だけ走ってるとこ見たことあるけど、とんでもなくケバい音‼️ヨシムラの1000がかわいく思えた😅

What a nice bike to have as long as they do pinch it like my two bikes

2022 still here <3

Superb !!! 😍

Reving to 20 000. Stroke is so short , nearly like a eccentric shaft 😜

I had a 2F slot car by Cox when you let off power with the controller the motor would rotate activating the wing

sorry but my ears feel like they are bleeding

Long live the King!

I love playing this song while I am fragging in Quake Live :)

I think this might be from David Sanborn's NBC show "Night Music" ~

Anarchy free thought can't be bought

この音を拾いきれるマイクは有るのだろうか。 生で聴いてみたい。
