I had the pleasure of seeing the band at SXSW this past year and they
impressed, no doubt....as usually, almost all Japanese bands do when I see
them live. Something many US/Euro pop bands would be well to take notice of
with contemplating the idea of "entertaining" when performing live is the
idea of actually.....'entertaining'. Fathom that. ;-P
Another band I saw that day from Japan that totally kicked my ass was this
one..... http://emeralds.jp/main.html. In a more just rock 'n roll world,
these guys would be household names.
David: I'm sure you have wrestled w/ this before, but IPO Japan?! I'd go
into further debt to do make that one......
