Long time no blog! Apologies, I've been completely snowed under, mixing and producing the debut album by FU-CHING-GIDO, my band with the wonderful drummer Fu-ching. The release is imminent, and I'll no doubt be going crazy publicising it, so you'll be hearing plenty about it. We're also planning an album release party, which is looking like it should be a really great night. I'll be letting you know all about that one very soon too.
And I've been a bit useless about updating my latest releases and discography too. I'll soon do a big post and bring it all up to date. There have been some nice things I've been involved with recently, including two releases by Cicala Mvta.
Anyhoo, in the near future I have a couple of gigs I'd like to tell you about.
First up, on February 4th, is a FU-CHING-GIDO gig at Yellow Vision in Asagaya, opening for a great band, Pachikuri Elegance, led by the great bassist Higo Hiroshi. Fu-ching and I will be giving it our all, and fingers crossed, we might even have a new song!
Following that, on February 7th, my ancient funk band, Nerima Tea Club will be playing with the fantastic Iizuka Naoko, Fukushima Hisao + Kosmas Kopitza Trio. We had such a great time sharing the bill last year at Cafe Flying Teapot, that we decided we had to do it again!
Do come along and say hello!
