Funktionaries - "Kiss My Funky Pts. 1&2" (1983)
Digging through the crates can sometimes result in startling discoveries. Wayward Sounds is a new project we'll be undertaking to feature obscure and unknown music; those sounds that drifted overhead, carried on a current that wouldn't allow for them to catch an audience. Hopefully, they'll now achieve some recognition. The first featured artist is Funktionaries
NY-based no wave/mutant disco band. Released by Glass Records in 1983 as part of a compilation, The Pulse of New York, detailing underground synthpop and dance acts from the city.
Funktionairies was US-based band with a limited number of releases. Combining elements of punk, disco, and funk, the band contained upwards of a dozen members, incorporating non-conventional sounds ranging from the clavinet to the flugelhorn into a dance-rock structure. Besides their appearance on The Pulse of New York, their only other verifiable release on record is a 7" single, "Deutschland Über Disco", released in 1979.
