look forward to meeting again next year.

Nohshintoh is one of my favorite bands around.
I call them 'Spritual New Wave Dub'.
I don't really mean spiritual in the sense of
an established religious experience. Though I do
think that there is a religious-like spiritual
bond between the audience and the band at at
Nohshintoh show. My intent is to indicate their
embodiment of the Japanese spirit. Their strength
is their honesty. Their sound is a mix of Japanese
folk, underground 80's new wave and no wave with
the Jamacian dub sounds of artistes like
Lee 'Scratch' Perry.
Aburanaburi as primitive free blues is just that.
The crying or sometimes screaming, though always
lamenting tenor saxaphone of Satoru Kawasaki lays
smoothly over the constant yet chaotic rhythm
of long-time collaborator Ebichan. The band has
gone through several permutations. This time the
'primitive' tag will be most appropriate as they
perform in a duo.
The Guva is kind of the unknown quantitiy here.
They are traveling with Aburanaburi on a short tour of
central to eastern Japan. The best description I can think
of for this up and coming Osaka unit is a mixture of
D.C.'s hard-core/reggae legend, Bad Brains and the 80's
spaz-core of the Kansai group The Boredoms. There is an
overall reggae vibe to the surface, but a punk core.
Well, reggae WAS punk in 1960's Jamaica. Their Kansai roots
show through in absurd humor and gratuitous nudity.
S!G3W@R (Shigewo) is one of a handful of Break Core DJs
in Nagoya, though he hails from Kansai. Break Core
is a kind of dance music that requires quite a bit of
imagination to keep track of the beat. Disjointed and
spastic, full of video game sounds and high-speed samples
of otherwise 'normal' music. It's quite interesting as just
a soundscape, even if you have trouble figuring out how
to dance to it.
Mr.F will be filling the gaps with his deep and eclectic
mix of raw punk and gothic new wave from the early 80s.
Though, it's just too darn hard to tell what the guy's
gonna throw on next, so it's really futile to try to sum
him up with just two genres. Count on Mr.F to do just
what he pleases.
