One of the Japan's funkiest bands will pack a serious punch at this year's FRF. Why? Because they have Marva Whitney on vocals, that's why. This woman was James Brown's go-to backup singer ferchrissakes. She's no spring chick, but recent recordings indicate that Whitney's voice is as powerful as ever. And with the indomitable Osaka Monaurail backing her up, expect some serious funky soul.
