Top 3 Videos for Oct. 2, 2016! Dwarf! Sandinistas! Pats Pats (Japan), The Coathangers!

It’s time once again for the Top 3 Video Countdown. The Top 3 best Indies and Alternative Music artists for the week of Oct. 1, 2016!

Starting us off is a hot new act from Mesa, Arizona (I think)… They are an Alternative Music Trio that I have been playing on my radio programs and will world debut their great new song, “Pizza,” tomorrow on WTF? But for today, here is a song that really caught my ear the first time I ever heard it, “To Close to the Flame.”

They have photos of the band members petting cows and stuff over at their FB page… That’s not something you see everyday! https://www.facebook.com/musicbyDWARF/?fref=ts

#3) Dwarf – To Close to the Flame https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-GNbftGifzo

Next up, at #2, is trio from Wales who call themselves “The Sandinistas” (been playing them on the radio a lot too!) The band is Dan, Slim & Scott. Their FB page is here. Go be the first one in your neighborhood to Like it! https://www.facebook.com/thesandinistas/

#2) The Sandinistas – Ready To Blow https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ik74yCjG7S4

At #1 are The Coathangers. Wikipedia says: “The Coathangers are a Punk Rock band from Atlanta. The band formed in 2006 as a joke. After playing a house show, they were asked to open for The Hiss on the strength of their performance. The name “Coathangers” refers to a method of self-induced abortion and was chosen for its irreverent vulgarity; all of the band’s members are pro-choice. They have opened in New York City for the Black Lips. Here’s their FB page: https://www.facebook.com/TheCoathangersATL/?fref=ts

#1) The Coathangers – Perfume  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lamnVPiNeOg

SPOTLIGHT ARTIST! Today’s Spotlight Artist is another hot Japanese girl’s rock band from Tokyo named The Pats Pats. The Pats Pats are a duo (as far as I know – I’ve seen different drummers for them on their Youtube videos). They are appearing with Peach Kelli Pop on 10/8(Sat) at Shimokitazawa Bayd… And, get this, it says, “Free food and Good music and more fun times” on their FB page. Check it out: https://www.facebook.com/patspats/?fref=ts

Oh, and they will appear as guests on my regular FM radio show “WTF?” tomorrow, Sunday, October 2, 2016. Check it out! http://www.interfm.co.jp/wtf/

SPOTLIGHT ARTIST! THE PATS PATS – Girls Talk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uGd5wESg3Rk

They are performing at the Astro Hall in Harajuku on August 19th and appearing at Summersonic that weekend with The Mirror Trap!!!! See them before they become big!

The Black Honey with The Mirror Trap club show will be @  the Astro Hall in Harajuku Tokyo on Friday August 19th. For more information see:  http://www.creativeman.co.jp/event/mirror_black/

Oh, and here is the FB page for Black Honey:

#3) Black Honey – Bloodlust https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s2k-dZhgAPI

At #2 is a mysterious band that I stumbled upon while collecting records for weirdos at the last record collectors fair. Didn’t know if I should put it in the Top 3 or in the “Cool & Strange Music” countdown so I thought, “Why not both?” They call themselves, “Rock ‘n’ Roll Monkey & the Robots.” They describe themselves as a “60s garage, rock, rockabilly, garage punk, surf band from Detroit.” Here is their FB page. Go be the first one on your block to go and “Like” it: https://www.facebook.com/Rock-n-Roll-Monkey-and-the-Robots-134899603208073/

#2) Rock ‘n’ Roll Monkey & the Robots – “I Like To Go Man Go” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m1KtidMBRNw

At #1 is the mighty Mirror Trap from Scotland with their newest video hot off the presses. And guess what? The Mirror Trap are coming to Japan too. In fact, they will be performing with this week’s #3 artist, Black Honey, at the Astro Hall in Harajuku on August 19th and appearing at Summersonic that weekend. This show will become legendary! See them before they become big!

TheMirror Trap with Black Honey show will be @  the Astro Hall in Harajuku Tokyo on Friday August 19th. For more information see:  http://www.creativeman.co.jp/event/mirror_black/

I’ll be there. I hope to see you there too!

#1) The Mirror Trap – Under The Glass Towers https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xz5zaf7NlEI

SPOTLIGHT ARTIST! Today’s Spotlight Artist is a Japanese Punk/Garage outfit that cracks me up. They are 6 crazy mo-fos that put on a wild rock n roll show. They kind of remind me of an Iggy and the Stooges on Spam. They’ve been around since 2011 and they are from Tokyo, Japan. Their name is Spam69.

Spam 69

Spam 69

OK. I have to explain. English speaking people will think this name is “Spam sixty-nine,” (which is also a great name), but the name of the band is, “Spam Rock.” You see, the numbers “69” are read in Japanese as, “Ro Ku.” Get it? “Roku,” “Rock.” I love these guys balls out attack on rock music as well as their sense of humor. Here is their FB pagehttps://www.facebook.com/THE-SPAM69-295272680531003/?fref=ts

SPOTLIGHT ARTIST!  Spam69 – Fuck You, Fuck Mehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nFaZRwX7ZO8

Hilarious!

Well that’s it for today. See you next week – Mike in Tokyo Rogers

Cool & Strange Music for Aug. 9, 2016! Louis Armstrong, Andre Williams, Messer Chups!

We’re back to Cool & Strange Music for August 9, 2016!

At #3 is a regular on both the Cool & Strange Music Countdown and the Top 3 Indies Music Countdown, from Russia, Messer Chups!

This is an early Messer Chups track that was made in 2002 and was released on the album, ‘Black Black Magic.’ Messer Chups are currently touring the USA! Wow! Here’s their FB page: https://www.facebook.com/messerchups/

#3) Messer Chups – Agent tremolo  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eHip5SkXDLw

Next up is a classic oldie featuring Louis Armstrong. Louis Armstrong was nicknamed Satchmo or Pops, and he was an American trumpeter, composer, singer and occasional actor who was one of the most influential figures in jazz. I remember my mom and dad liked him a lot and I also remember seeing him on TV quite often as a little boy. His career spanned five decades, from the 1920s to the 1960s, and different eras in jazz.

Today’s video is pretty funny (and nostalgic). This is Louis Armstrong singing one of his novelty hits called Cheesecake. This is from the TV show called, “Hollywood Palace” which ran from 1964 ~ 1970. Hollywood Palace featured many famous stars as weekly hosts of the show. In today’s episode, Bing Crosby hosts and makes a hilarious guest appearance in Louis Armstrong’s performance. I hope you get a laugh.

#2) Louis Armstrong – Cheesecake https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fqrhdYQ_wMg

At number 1 this week is something really reaching back into obscurity but this is way cool. It’s Andre Williams & His Orchestra. I first found out about Andy from the “Las Vegas Grind” compilation series and I have played this track many times on the FM radio in Japan.

Today’s video, though, is special because it features stripper Shereé. Now, Shereé, isn’t just any stripper. She was the stripper for Andre Williams & His Orchestra! I guess this is truly one of the earliest music videos? This song is a gas! The stripper is just an extra cool bonus!

#1) Andre Williams & His Orchestra Girl: Shereé – Sweet Little Pussycat https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HZ5jIujdydU

Jessica Jernigan wrote a fab review about the Las Vega Grind series at AllMusic:

“The label responsible for the Las Vegas Grind series is Strip. “Strip” is also the best possible name for the genre these compilations celebrate. In an age where exotic dancing is invariably accompanied by Top 40 hits, it is difficult to imagine house bands for strip clubs. On the other hand, it is equally difficult to imagine this collection of bands playing anywhere else. Las Vegas Grind is the reprobate little sister of lounge music and the unwed mother of all ’60s garage bands. It distinguishes itself from these venerable styles in that it has none of lounge music’s artsy cocktail pretension, nor does it possess the snotty suburban wrath that is the mark of garage bands. It is like both genres, though, in that there is not a drop of irony anywhere to be found on the whole disc. To say that it lacks irony is not to say that it lacks jocularity. While most numbers — “The Strip,” “The Whip,” and “Drums A-Go-Go,” to name but three — are sincerely risqué, several more dubious tracks — “A La Carte,” “Pimples & Braces,” and “Hooty Sapperticker,” for example — approach the level of novelty tune. These musical gags seem to provide the same slightly sweaty, slightly nervous acquittal as Benny Hill, French sex comedies and Playboy cartoons. Never mind the naked ladies, it’s all just bawdy fun. With naked ladies or without, Las Vegas Grind is bawdy fun, indeed.”

Las Vegas Grind

Well that’s it! Thanks for tuning in this time. See you next week for more Cool & Strange music! – Mike (in Tokyo) Rogers

It’s time once again for the Top 3 Videos! The best of the Top 3 Indies Band videos for August 6, 2016!  And at #3 this week is the newest sensation from Scotland, The Mirror Trap and they are coming to Japan! They are performing at the the Astro Hall in Harajuku on August 19th and appearing at Summersonic that weekend!!!! See them before they become big!

The Mirror Trap with Black Honey club show will be @  the Astro Hall in Harajuku Tokyo on Friday August 19th. For more information see:  http://www.creativeman.co.jp/event/mirror_black/

Oh, and here is the FB page for the Mirror Trap:  https://www.facebook.com/themirrortrap/?fref=ts

#3)  The Mirror Trap – Bleach Your Bones https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RxL7IHCCVJo

At #2 are Dog Party. Dog party are two sisters who are on fire! The Giles sisters Gwendolyn and Lucy hail from good ol’ Sacramento, California. This is the first video released from their 5th album “‘Til You’re Mine”. The song is called Enough. Here is their FB page:  https://www.facebook.com/dogpartylive/

#2) DOG PARTY – Enough
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PLKXhmFGH8w

At #1 is a hot new band from Ireland named the Whereabouts. They formed in 2013 and are unsigned! They describe themselves as an energetic four piece rhythm & blues rock’n’roll band. Go like their FB page and tell them that Mike sent you!   https://www.facebook.com/TheWhereaboutsPage/

#1) The Whereabouts – Razor Sharp https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k-YsYG0e57k

SPOTLIGHT ARTIST! Today’s Spotlight Artist is a Japanese Punk/Garage outfit that probably needs no introduction. They’ve been around since 1987 and they are from Nagasaki, Japan. Their name is Guitarwolf and they are known for songs with piercing vocals and an extremely loud style of noise-influenced punk which emphasizes heavy distortion and feedback. They coined the phrase “jet rock ‘n’ roll”, which they also use to describe their musical style. Here is their latest.

Top 3 Videos for July 31, 2016! Ginger Wildheart, myeahns (Japan), Deap Vally, Julie Ruin!

It’s time once again for the Top 3 Videos! The best of the Top 3 Indies Band videos for July 31, 2016! And, damn it’s hot in Tokyo!

First up today is a band that was introduced to us by DJ Alex Kish over at Wassup Rocker Radio! The band’s name is “Deap Vally.” Deap Vally are Lindsey Troy and Julie Edwards and these two girls rock! Their FB pages says they are a rock n roll band from Los Angeles, California. Go “Like” their FB page:  https://www.facebook.com/deapvally/

#3) Deap Vally – Smile More https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LIreuaDVJdA

At #2 is the newest project from Kathleen Hanna of “Bikini Kill” and “Le Tigre” fame and they are called “The Julie Ruin.” The Julie Ruin are an American band formed in 2010 in New York City. Their second, Hit Reset, was just released on July 8, 2016 by Hardly Art Records. Here’s their FB page:  https://www.facebook.com/thejulieruin/?fref=ts

#2) The Julie Ruin – “I’m Done” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CWqR0w9ohN8

At this week’s #1 is the newest from Ginger Wildheart of the Wildhearts. His solo album that was released in January of this year, “Year of the Fanclub,” has got to be one of the best, if not thee best, album I have heard all year. Here is Ginger’s webpage: http://www.gingerwildheart.net/
日本語の情報はここです:http://vinyl-junkie.com/index.php?amount=0&blogid=3&blogid=2&query=VJR-3189

#1) Ginger Wildheart – If You Find Yourself In London Town https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0gkHcucD7Gk

SPOTLIGHT ARTIST! Today’s Spotlight Artist is “myeahns” from Tokyo, Japan. The “myeahns” are a trio from Tokyo and I guess they do not capitalize their name. Their manager is named Kazumi and she does a good job. She has pestered me (and I mean that in a good way) to play this band a few times (well, managers and promoters are supposed to be persistent)…. So, being lazy, it took me forever to check out their video. It’s cool. I think you’ll like it. Go check out their Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/myeahns/?fref=ts…. But maybe their band webpage is cooler: http://myeahns.net/

Cool & Strange Music for July 25, 2016! Nicki Minaj & John Waters, Messer Chups, Oney Cartoons!

We’re back to Cool & Strange Music for July 25, 2016! And today, as usual, we have some bizarre and cool videos that are way “over the top” so if you have a twisted sense of humor, like me, you’re gonna like these!

First up is The Lonely Island who appear on Saturday Night Live. In fact, this was a SNL skit like the sensational Eddie Murphy doing James Browns’ Hot Tub that we featured here: (http://robot55.jp/blog/cool-and-strange-music-countdown-dec-29-2015-eddie-murphy-messer-chups-vladimir-putin/) Lonely Island are also a gasser! It’s hilarious.

#3) Lonely Island – The Creep (feat. Nicki Minaj & John Waters) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tLPZmPaHme0

Next up is an artist that also charted on my year end, “Mike (in Tokyo) Rogers’ Top 50 Best Songs of 2015 (With Music Videos!)” modernmarketingjapan.blogspot.jp/2015/12/mike-rogers-top-50-best-songs-of-2015.html It’s Messer Chups from St. Petersburg Russia!

#2) Messer Chups – Difficult Love https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ddvSrL_39OM

At #1 is a song that I just stumbled over in the last day or so. This is another laffer. It’s the Arrogant Worms. The Arrogant Worms are a Canadian musical comedy trio that parody many musical genres. They are well-known for their humorous on-stage banter in addition to their music. Today they are at #1 doing The Assumption Song. This appeared in Oney Cartoons
