BAND HISTORY - ROCKIN' SINCE 2003


german version

The Mobile Funk Navigators are a funk-rock band from Erlangen, Germany. They have been playing together since February 2003. The first gig (then still under the name Six Headed Squirrel) was played at a school festival. After this gig two things were certain: 1. The band would have to change their name 2. They would have to keep on playing that funky style of music.
Soon the band started recoding home studio demo material at "Domis Kinderzimmerproductionstudios"(Which is the Studio where the legendary album "Getting Drunk And Playing Punk" by "Dr. F & The PK's" was recorded.) Soon after, this very homepage was created, in order to distribute the recordings cheaply and efficiently. Nowadays the "Mobile Funk Navigators” are a band of 7 friends playing Funk Rock Jazz and Soul influenced music.

 


MEMBERS

 

3 Mobile Funk Navigators (James Klamm and Domi) started playing music together in their school band. Noel was stolen from the clutches of a punk rock band called Muffin Men and the last founding member (Mr Vaughn) was biogenetically created in order to cause trouble and play sax
Eva joined the band in October 2004 to help Mr. Vaughn get his priorities right.

James
This South African Italian crossbreed is in charge of writing lyrics and then subsequently singing them. (Sometime he gets mixed up and sings stuff that he hasn't written before and which thus makes no sense what so ever.) He also plays the guitar and enjoys busting out some beats on his djembe.

Klamm
He is the man with a grin to please the girls. And a funky guitar stlye to please those who can appreciate it. He is so full of personality that he has had to share some with his alter-ego named Slam!

Domi
The human drum machine has been beating the hell out of a multitude of plastic covered cylindrical forms and metal disks since a very young age. He is also know throughout the local music scene for his involvement in various punk bands and for organizing a whole truck load of off the hook concerts.

Noel
was born at a very young age in San Juan Manila and was soon given the name ******* (I'm not entirely sure what his real name is) but he is called any of the following names: Noel, Louis, Nuzilla, Nui Flui, Huimutcho or Mr Stylela. He is well known for his wonderful ability of slapping a bass guitar into absolute submission while wearing a really nice smile on his face and dancing about a bit.

Mr. Vaughn
He does a good job blowing (I swear that joke works better in German) on his beloved Sax which can even tell a story of an almost fatal car accident while staying in tune. He is the only one who ever seriously tried to find a suitable form of musical notation for our compositions. He failed. But he got over it and went on to create even better music than before.

Eva
Believe me we warned her that she would be the only girl, but that only seemed to make her more eager. She extends our horn section by another Sax, and someday we will get her to play Piano (or at least the fool). She joined the band in october of 2004 and has already managed to increace our possiblity of someday taking over the world.

Benny
He likes to push our buttons and turn our knobs. He is the wonderfull Mr. Mixer who can play a damn good blues if you give him half a chance. But don't let him get to close to your special lady friend or they might misteriously disaperar under the mixing desk.
