KINLAY is a 4-piece Rock Funk Dance band from Tokyo, Japan. Andy MacKinlay (Manchester, UK) is the lead vocalist/guitarist, Seiji Fukuda (Setagaya, Tokyo) plays Keyboards & Synth, Yukako Ishii (Kanagawa, Japan) plays Bass with Hiroki Murakami (Saitama, Japan) on drums.The band first began to take shape in 2004 when Andy MacKinlay began to host weekly Jam sessions around central Tokyo to cater for improvisational musicians. Playing rock covers & funk classics of a weekend at the reasonable-paying gaijin pubs around Shibuya & Roppongi, they caught the ear of Hip-Hop & J-Pop producer J★STILLTON (Doloop) who brought Osaka J-Host band “ACQUA” to the top of the Japan Oricon single charts back in 2006. The affiliation resulted in the self-funded Mini-LP “Whose The Clown?* released July 2008 on 1000 copies pressing. KINLAY Band still hosts monthly Jam Session for musicians and vocalists at What The Dickens in Ebisu the first Tuesday every month.Find out more at their official website
