Hameln, Germany (1995 – present)
When “Funker Vogt” was founded in 1995 by Gerrit Thomas and Jens Kästel, nobody could foresee that, within just one year, it would grow into one of the leading electro-acts of today. Originally, it had been envisaged as just one more of Gerrit Thomas’s many musical projects; however, the project took the world by storm and grew to become his main act.
The members consist of Gerrit Thomas, Jens Kästel, Björn Böttcher, Frank Schweigert (who replaced Thomas Kroll in 2004), and Kai Schmidt. They all hail from the town of Hameln, Germany.
The name of the band translates from German to English as ‘Radio Operator Vogt’, taken from a friend of the band who was a navigator/radio operator in the German army. This choice of name describes and defines the theme of the project: German army - military - war.
The responsibilities/roles of each member of the band are clearly defined: Gerrit Thomas composes the music, while Jens Kästel is the singer. Most of the lyrics are written by Kai Schmidt, with occasional contributions by Jens and Gerrit. In concert Jens and Gerritt are supported by two guests, namely Björn Böttcher (keyboard) and Thomas Kroll (guitar). For three years Kai Schmidt managed the band, when he handed the management over to Repomanagement (KS/BB).

Is Killing Fields seriously not one of the top tracks. I mean come on. It's a classic. The defining song to the dictionary that is Funker Vogt.

Looking back at the last three Funker Vogt albums: First, there was "Survivor", then "Navigator", and now the more recent "Aviator". By acknowledging this information I will now be able to predict what their new album will be called...using my psychic powers of course! *sarcasm* The new album will be called...wait...almost there...YES! I HAVE FORESEEN IT! The new Funker Vogt album will be called..."MASTURBATOR" Expect the release date to come out sometime this Fall. Following soon after will be the MasterbaTour earlier next year.
