Gigs in Tokyo


A friend of mine wanted to know if I remembered any websites that listed gigs in Japan, as I once lived there back 2004-05, I couldn’t remember, I found a few links from another website. This is what I found.

New Music: Dirty Secrets

Dirty Secrets - Transmission
Four piece from Perth with a New wave type of sound.

My New Fav YT clib

Very thin Ice

This is my new favourite YouTube clip by user schmoyoho. I really love the vocoder, and this whole shadae thing(does he say Shadae). Also the keytar that pops up in the start.

Last Night:: Art, Coffee and Music



Some video I took last night while hanging with some friends.

The tune at the start was made with Korg DS-10 via my DS.

Jeremy Jay



Jeremy Jay
'lite beam'(slow rez version)

Youtube channel http://www.youtube.com/user/jeremyjaystoryland

I'm now listening to this his album Slow Dance where you can find this track and also Slow Dance. This all reminds me of some tunes you may of heard on 80's am, but unlike those gold hits, I'm drawn to this.

Lowry - Whiskey



I can't get this Lowry(5 piece from Brooklyn) song out of my head, it's so familiar.

Sparrow House - Weeping Willow(Sebastian Schuller cover)


This is very haunting song, but am totally into it.
