Top 3 Indies Artist Videos for Jan 8, 2017! Su凸ko D凹koi, Sex Organs, Tearaways, Cabbage!

It’s time once again for the Top 3 Indies Artist Video Countdown. The Top 3 best Indies and Alternative Music artists for the week of Jan. 8, 2017!

First up today are the Sex Organs. They are an inter-galactic sex ‘n’ roll from outer space, er, band… Unit…Duo… Er, Aliens! A primitive, trash, garage, space odyssey! The Sex Organs were formed in 2014 and played their debut show at the legendary Funtastic Dracula Carnival in Spain! They have a fun Facebook page. Check it out: https://www.facebook.com/The-Sex-Organs-293401910860896/

#3) The Sex Organs – Outer Space https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wRnOBV6NL-s

At #2 is a band that first appeared on our countdown last week at #1! It’s the Tearaways. These guys started out in the old L.A. punk days…. In fact, you might want to check their Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/TheTearawaysUSA), too, as there are some well known people in this excellent band. This video (and last week’s #1 for “Bash”) was made by Stephen David Brooks who is the director of the award winning (and quite thrilling) movie, “Flytrap.” (Check the trailer for Flytrap here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aUNrSgu3bi0). 

#2) The Tearaways – Hello Isla Vista  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MXV0YHU9Fqc

At #1 is a new London band named Cabbage from Manchester. Cabbage were turned on to us by our hero Ginger Wildheart who is coming to Japan at the end of this month. They have a Facebook page, of course: (https://www.facebook.com/cabbagelechou/?fref=ts)  The Sun, a big UK newspaper picked them as “Top Tip for 2017″… Here’s what they wrote about it on their FB page:
