You might mistakedly think that Fujiya & Miyagi were a duo when in fact their is four members of this UK electro funk band. Steve Lewis (Fujiya) on synths, beats, programming and backing vocals, David Best (Miyagi) on vocals and guitar Matt Hainsby (Ampersand, yes thats what I said) is on bass guitar and backing vocals. They have also added Lee Adams on drums since their well recieved 2006 alb...

Fujiya & Miyagi are no duo and definitely not Japanese. They are an electronic band from Brighton, United Kingdom who create music that has the feel of Brian Eno and Kraftwerk. David Best and Steve Lewis started Fujiya & Miyagi, in 2000 and describe their infectious popsongs as a weird hybrid of James Brown on valium and Wire switched to pop music. In 2003, whilst still a duo, Fujiya & Miya...

The atmospheric tonality, the ebbing rh...

I posted this yesterday but the player was down...so here is an encore post:In theory, the idea of chanting your band name at the beginning of a song sounds really, REALLY lame….but in practice, it makes for an infectious groove. So I present to you exhibit A in my case….one positive of MOG being down, i caught up on some ‘zone out’ time with some different records…this was one of my favorites.

Forgettable kraut influenced jams. A little too slick and impersonal for me.

Ahead of their tour in support of the new release Lightbulbs we catch up with Fujiya & Miyagi to talk about chess, dinosaurs and jet packs. Noize: Ok so where have you been before London then? Matt (bass): we've kind of just started the tour properly I suppose and we went to Switzerland first. Steve (keys): Yeah then we went to France and we've just been to Ireland. Matt: We're still reco...
