It’s time once again for the Top 3 Indies Artist Video Countdown for May 26, 2018! And it’s Ladies Night! Starting off the countdown are my new favorite band that were introduced to us by DJ Kish of the world famous Wassup Rocker Radio and they are a band from Brooklyn, New York and their name is Surfbort. The say their music is “Freak Music” and the “Don’T believe in Google.” (I get the pun!!!!) This band rocks! If they’d remember to send me their tracks, I’d play them on my radio show in Japan, The Mike Rogers Show every Sunday morning… (Mike Rogers Show – every Sunday from 5 am ~ 7 am. You can listen live on InterFM 897 in Tokyo, Radio Neo 79.5 in Nagoya or nationally broadcast (and On-Demand) on radiko.jp).
Of course they have a Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/surf666bort/
#3) Surfborts – Les Be In Love: https://youtu.be/SMT08fij1AU?t
At this week’s #2 is a band we haven’t seen on the countdown for a while, it’s Daisy House. The Daisy House bio says, “Daisy House was formed in December of 2012. The Southern California folk-rock band consists of Doug Hammond on guitar, bass, vocals and keys, and Doug’s daughter Tatiana Hammond on vocals. “Bon Voyage” is their 5th album to date.”
I WILL play this on my radio show tomorrow morning.
Here’s their Bandcamp: https://daisyhouse.bandcamp.com
#2) Daisy House – Something Real: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C8a9GYBXyY8
At #1 this week is Starcrawler from Los Angeles. Their bio says: “The dynamic young L.A.-bred quartet has been wiping the jaded looks off audiences across their hometown since making their live debut back in 2016, dragging the unsuspecting into their universe with hooks that sink into the synapses and refuse to let go – and enough electricity to light up the entire Sunset Strip.”
Here’s their Facebook! https://www.facebook.com/starcrawlertheband/
#1) Starcrawler – Chicken Woman: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PuwfTjIiDaE
SPOTLIGHT ARTIST! Today’s spotlight goes to a Japanese band from Hokkaido that was introduced to us by Japanese music critic and musicologist (and cool guy) Masao Nakagami. The Band’s name is Rangsteen. Rangsteen has their next album, entitled, “Idiot Elegy” coming out on sale July 18, 2018!
This band is fucking hot!

About Mike in Tokyo Rogers: Mike has been a professional music/TV/radio/anime-related program producer in Japan since the eighties. He began in the music business in 1977 as lead vocalist with the legendary Los Angeles Punk Band, “The Rotters” (Sit on My Face Stevie Nix.). As a university student, he was assistant to the legendary Rodney Bingenheimer (Rodney on the ROQ – KROQ Los Angeles from 1980 ~ 1981.) Mike was the first and only foreigner in Japanese history to become the General Manager of a major Japanese broadcasting station (TV Tokyo owned InterFM). Has produced a few smash hit programs (some real losers, too!) and several of Tokyo’s highest rated and most famous radio programs. A recent hit Internet TV program was “The TV Show” (Set Program with “Ninja Slayer”) which, between April – Oct. 2015, garnered over 10 million viewers. He is currently producing and hosting “The Mike Rogers Show” every Sunday live on InterFM 89.7 in Tokyo and Radio Neo in Nagoya 79.5 and nationally broadcast on Radiko.jp (Internet radio). And he is the creator and founder of the Mt. Fuji – Atami Film & VR Festival. Also his life’s dream is his just completed full-length motion picture, “Ghostroads – A Japanese Rock and Roll Ghost Story,” which enjoyed its World-Premiere at the Raindance Film Festival in London on Sept. 25, 2017, and was released by a major Japanese motion picture company and in theaters all across Japan from Sept. 2017 ~ Mar. 2018. The DVD and Blu-Ray go on sale all across Japan on June 13, 2018!
