OSAKA PUNCH // Gently Release ‘How We Operate’ Ahead of Bigsound

Osaka Punch, Australia’s favourite sex-funk crew, have dropped a new single How We Operate ahead of their upcoming Australian tour.

How We Operate is a heady mix of distorted guitars and some very Mighty Boosh-esque funk comin atcha. Osaka Punch’s frontman Jack Muzak says of the new track’s lyrics: “I wrote the lyrics to this song while on a 6 hour transit in Manila. I wanted to go somewhere peaceful to listen to the track and knuckle down so I went to a hotel close to the airport. I should’ve sensed something was awry when the guy at reception asked how many hours I needed the room. “Just 6 hours” I replied, and he looked impressed. When I got to my room it was really nice, and looked massive. This was of course an optical illusion, as the entire ceiling was covered in mirrors, and I realised I was in a sex motel.”

Not to be outdone by the moans and groans coming from the adjacent rooms, I started singing out loud, as I felt the sexual funk creep up inside me. After about half an hour I decided to eat the mint that’d been left on my pillow, only to realise it was, in fact, a condom thoughtfully left for me by the concierge. These are the lyrics that fell out of me that day.”

The band are throwing out sexy vibes and laying the crowd down gently at Bigsound this week and across the country this October/November. They’ve supported Dead Letter Circus, Closure In Moscow and The Fall of Troy and have recently come off stints with Lagerstein and Twelve Foot Ninja.

How We Operate is available for purchase and stream this Friday 8 September, as well as the on sale date for the same-titled tour. Both will be available here.
