Osaka Monaurail – Japanese Funk
After performing to capacity houses on their first Australian tour ever in early 2013 including a SOLD OUT show at the Sydney Town Hall, we are madly excited to announce the return of Japan’s finest funk band, OSAKA MONAURAIL.
They dress immaculately in the sharpest of suits, they move in total unison while the horn sections spins and twirls all the while building up a driving funk energy unknown until now in Australia. For 20 years they have toured the biggest festivals in the world, played the tightest clubs on the planet and brought the dance-floor to volcanic like eruptions.

They have recorded nine albums in that time, one of which with James Brown’s backing vocalist, Soulsister Number One, Marva Whitney “I AM WHAT I AM”; which to this day stands as one of the most exciting collaborations in funk across cultures.
If you like your funk. If you can’t keep still to the funk. Don’t miss these guys, cause they are funk!
“They are by far one of the hottest funk bands on the planet!” Marva Whitney
