Top 3 Indies Videos 8/25/18! Reptilians From Andromeda, Bad Nerves, Sugar & Tiger!

2018年8月25日 / No Comments

It’s time once again for the Top 3 Indies Artist Video Countdown for Aug. 25, 2018!

Starting us off today is a Garage Punk – Rock’n’Roll outfit from Turkey. Yeah, you read that right. I think they are from Istanbul, Turkey. Their name is the Reptilians From Andromeda.

Here’s their Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/reptiliansfromandromeda/

#3) Reptilians From Andromeda – Midnight Scenes https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nSpLEOMUflI

At #2 is a  Punk unit from East London called Bad Nerves.

What can I say? That’s all I know about these guys. They have a webpage that is pretty useless: https://badnerves.co.uk/

And their Facebook page isn’t much better, but here it is: https://www.facebook.com/badnerves/

#2) BAD NERVES – CAN’T BE MINE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eWJ2lhsjIwE

At #1 is a band from Paris, France named “Sugar & Tiger.” I gather they have been around for 6 years or so… Another band lacking in information. Social media staff badly needed for them and Bad Nerves!

https://www.facebook.com/sugarandtiger/

#1) Sugar & Tiger – ”Linda Ramone”  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G5GhSNQxXus

Of course, if you want to hear more of this stuff, check out InterFM’s, “The Mike Rogers Show” (Every Sunday morning from 5 am ~ 7 am on InterFM 897 in Tokyo, Radio Neo 79.5 in Nagoya, and nationwide simulcast on Radiko.jp! Check it out for tons of cool new music every week!)

Well, that’s it for today. Have a great weekend!

“Ghostroads – A Japanese Rock and Roll Ghost Story,” 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 will celebrate the release of the DVD and Blu-Ray on sale all across Japan on June 13, 2018! Canada theatrical release will be August 31, 2018! (Canada theatrical release information: http://www.withoutaflock.com/ghostroads.html)

Top 3 Indies Videos 8/18/18! Sino Hearts, Lisa Mychols, Hayley and the Crushers & the B-Girls!

2018年8月18日 / 1 Comment

It’s time once again for the Top 3 Indies Artist Video Countdown for Aug. 18, 2018!

Starting us off today is a powerpop, punk and rock’n’roll band from Beijing, China named the Sino Hearts. This band’s bio claims they are a “Beijing power pop trio via Vienna.” And they boast their influences to be The Boys, The Flamin Groovies,  Protex, The Barracudas, Firestarters, and bunch of other bands as well as the Real Kids…. A punk band from Beijing? Are you kidding? Nope. They just were here in Japan and played some cool shows last month!

Here’s their Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/sinohearts/

#3) The Sino Hearts – Black Technology:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xcn2SSgaBZo

At #2 is a video of a cool “Sunshine Garage Pop” track that was just released this morning! No kidding! It’s the one and only Lisa Mychols! Lisa’s bio reads: “AKA “Queen of Power Pop”, Long Beach, CA-based singer/songwriter bringing sounds of Colorful, Sunshine, Garage Pop, with lyrics inspired by real experiences and the many emotions we all go through, all wrapped up in music, melody and muse.” She also lists up a mighty fine roster of influences such as: Petula Clark, Temples, Jackie DeShannon, Kirsty Maccoll, Lulu, Paul Weller, Jason Falkner, The Clouds, The Lemon Twigs, Strawberry Alarm Clock, Tame Impala, Wondermints, The Three O’Clock, The Zombies, Lesley Gore, The Bangles, The Byrds…

Here’s her Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/Lisamychols/

#2) Lisa Mychols -“One Revolution”: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1crT0OVhFBg&t

At this week’s #1 is a band introduced to us by DJ Alex Kish of Wassup Rocker Fame! Their name is Hayley and the Crushers and they are a Bubblegum Punk & Roll outfit from San Luis Obispo, California! Hayley and the Crushers say they are, “Poolside Glitter Trash. You went to the beach to get a tan but were rudely interrupted by a gaggle of leather-clad beasts feasting on beer and ho-hos under the pier.” Hey! That’s happened to me!

Here’s their Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/hayleyandthecrushers/

#1) Hayley and the Crushers – “Blue and Green”: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YaEMAkVUBp4

SPOTLIGHT ARTIST!  Departing from our usual spotlight on a band from Japan is this week’s band coming to Japan! It’s the B-Girls! Their bio states: “The ‘B’ Girls are a Canadian all girl rock’n roll band that formed in 1976 and recorded on Bomp Records. They moved to NYC in 1977 and toured w the Clash.” The B-Girls are coming to Japan in September!

It’s time once again for the Top 3 Indies Artist Video Countdown for Aug. 4, 2018!

Starting us off today is is a punk rock band from Ontario, Canada and their name is PUP. We got turned onto this fab band by world-famous DJ Andrew Nordfelt of PoDunkRadio.com.
Pup says they like “Rap karaoke. Wendy’s. Mid-summer tobogganing.” This particular video is a quite entertaining music video/rockmentary about the death of a loved one: his car. I think you’ll laugh. I certainly did.

Yeah, of course they have a Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/puptheband/

#3) PUP – MABU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fwd-gwrAiVE

At #2 is a punk band from the Southside of Chicago who call themselves, Criminal Kids. These bad boys say they are, “With nasty riffs and an attitude problem.”

Turn this one up.

Here’s their Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/CriminalKids/

#2) Criminal Kids – “Takin’ It Back”  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K-7VZivNkP0

This week at #1 is a hot new rock band from Atlanta, Georgia that has been getting airplay on my FM radio show on InterFM, “The Mike Rogers Show” and will again tomorrow morning. They are called, Starbender! Starbender’s bio says, “Hailing from Atlanta, GA, StarBenders are a half-way home for the misunderstood. Front-woman, Kimi Shelter and her gang have concocted a perfect alchemic blend of androgynous rock and roll power with “stuck in your brain” pop melodies. Imagine David Bowie playing 7 minutes in heaven with Debbie Harry.”

Oh! And rumor has it that Starbenders are coming to Japan in October for a few shows! Be there and see them at an initimate club before they become super famous and then start playing football field sized festivals! Starbenders at a Tokyo Live House in October? The show of the year! Stay tuned for more detals as they become available!!!!

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 went on sale all across Japan on June 13, 2018!
