Funker Vogt

Funker Vogt (German: [ˈfʊŋkɐ foːkt]) is a German electronic-industrial music project with an aggressive style, formed by vocalist Jens Kästel and programmer Gerrit Thomas in 1995. Other members of the band are keyboardist/manager Björn Böttcher, live guitarist Frank Schweigert and lyricist Kai Schmidt. The name of the band translates from German to English as "Radio Operator Vogt", this being the surname of a friend of the band who was a military radio operator.[1] The military concept of a radio operator provides a contrast with the musical roles of a DJ or a vocalist using a microphone.
