1st Mini-Album

"It Looks Worse When You're Sober"

2nd Mini-Album

"Anything For Money"

 

This album features the original Dr. Funkinstein line-up of HIRO SHIMADA on guitar (beauty comes in small pacakages) and TAKETOSHI AOKI on drums (big, beautiful and wholesome). It was recorded, mixed and mastered on pro-tools by SOU 'THE MACHINE' SUGINO (da man !) at Be-Bop Studios, Fukuoka, Japan, in Summer 2002. It all sounds really very good.

 

  1. Three years later and after quite a severe personnel shake up, we found ourselves back at Be-Bop Studios, once again with Sou Sugino at the helm and ably assisted by Takeshi Hamada. Autumn-winter 2005/6 was thus spent recording 4 more thoroughly offensive tracks featuring the masterful MIKIO YAMABE on drums and the dubiously oriented CLAY BABB on lead guitar. More metal ! More swearing ! It's what you want.

Dr. Funkinstein CDs !!!

Download Dr. Funkinstein for free !!!

We need to ask a big favour of you : Dr. Funkinstein has a free MP3 of our song "Drink Beer" available for downloading at this site : www.artist-debut.net. If you download it we'll enter their chart and if enough people do that we could get a recording contract from them ! Yes, this is totally true !!! So, as you can see, we're really really really excited at this prospect but we really need your help. Here's what we'd like you to do :

Go to www.artist-debut.net. It's all in Japanese but don't be put off .Click on gT[`h ( = gsearchh, on the top navigation bar, 2nd from right) then input Dr.Funkinstein (exactly like this, with capitals, period and no space, otherwise it wonft find it) Click on either "Streaming" or "Download" and you'll get our song. "Streaming" will do, as to be able to download the song onto your Hard Drive you'll need to register as a member. Click here for the instructions on how to do so in English. Registering as a member is best as it counts for more in their chart. You can also download "My Wife" from our 1st mini-album (really called "Dutch Wife" but that's rude in Japanese so they've made us change it but never mind.) That's it ! Honestly, all this will be sooooooooo much appreciated and we'll love you forever, not to mention get you a drink next time we see you ! Thank you thank you thank you in advance !

 

Hallelujah !@What a deal !!

Dr. Funkinstein's mini-albums are available to YOU (yes, YOU) for a paltry ¥1000 of your Japanese Yen ( = US$10, UK£5 approx.)

And one for your best friend. Hell, why stop there, GET ONE FOR EVERYBODY YOU KNOW !!!

Ok, so getting hold of one of these puppies is not as easy as you thought but you can always e-mail Tim at...

Listen to da music !

What ?!! You need more convincing ? Ok, opposite are some sound clips so you can give each song on the CD a quick listen.

Thought you could download the whole lot for free, eh ? Looks like you'll just have to buy the CD after all ! (But you can download "Drink Beer" and "My Wife" ( = "Dutch Wife"for free at www.artist-debut.net. See above.)

.... live in front of you ! Here are a couple of live videos shot at our (sadly now closed down) favourite Fukuoka live venue, Grand Town, all featuring the original Dr. F. line-up. The night was one of our 'Doctor's Orders' gigs, which by strange coincidence just happened to be the release party for our CD (that one you're going to buy now.)

Peace Off

Keep Talking
