Next up is hot off the presses and this track came into my mailbox just this morning from Cindy Kona. Thanks Cindy! Cindy has connections all over the world and can get bands airplay in Japan (of course) as well as Los Angeles, London and South America to name a few. Cindy turns us on to a band named, “The Moon Kids.”

Their webpage describes the Moon Kids as “‘fairground pop’, a trashy, thrashy, neon-lit affair that’s bright, bolshy and destined to make your heart beat a little faster.”

#2) The Moon Kids – Strange Thoughts On Sunday https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=npQnuE7Kf6A

At #1 this week is a band that just debuted on last week’s Top 3… They sent me this link and when I watched it, I laughed so hard. These guys are great! From Tokyo, here is Theee Bat deliciously destroying the Elvis Presley standard, “Jailhouse Rock.” Enjoy!

2015年10月15日 / 1 Comment

It’s Top 3 time. Time for this week’s cream of the crop of new Indies artists and new Indies artist’s videos.

First up a tip o’ the hat to Mike Hannah from the Tokyo-based rock band, “The Goood Things” who turns us onto today’s first band. (Wanna see a fun party in Tokyo? Check out the Goood Things release party here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=myX4Z_5um-4)

Today’s opening is a Tokyo band that, well, what can I say? This is really Tokyo Underground stuff! Loud, noisy, and I LOVE IT! Two crazy guys and a crazy female vocalist. Oh, and they have a cool webpage. Check the jacket art to their releases!  Theee Bat Webbbbb (theeebat.fool.jp/batshop2014.html)

#3) Theee Bat – Feel Good https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GTBRrsQKHY4

This week’s #2 is a group that is no stranger to our countdown (but they are definitely a bunch of strange people). They are lead by Bobby “Panti-Christ” Butler and they hail from Switzerland (???) and they are the shit! In fact, that’s what they are called, The Shit!

#2) The Shit – Too Old To Die Young https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tR0WGEecGPs

At #1 is a new artist introduced by our favorite scout for new music and happening things all over the world, Cindy Konain Hawaii. Cindy tells me that, “I found this band! They are so fabulous! The Fontaines! I’m sending you the best song AND there’s a wicked awesome video! They’re from Los Angeles!” OK, Cindy, here’s another #1 that you introduced to us. Thanks a million!

#1) The Fontaines – Paul Newman https://youtu.be/ODV7yn_tIgA

Finally today, I just love this artist! I have been playing their latest, “Go Fuck Yourself” on the radio a lot recently and a few days ago, they sent me this new video! Thanks Lola Dutronic! Check the Lola Dutronic FB page here: https://www.facebook.com/LOLA-DUTRONIC-80232595392/

Top 3 Videos for October 9, 2015! The Jackets, Hear Kitty Kitty, Wavves, Japan’s Own Titty Twister!

2015年10月9日 / 5 Comments

It’s Top 3 Video time! The top 3 Indies artist’s videos chosen by the on-air team and me and given airplay on our FM radio show in Japan, “WTF?” (What the Funday?) for the week of October 9, 2015!

Today, first up is an artist from Zurich, Switzerland named “The Jackets.” Their webpage says, “Combining sixties garage, mod, ’77 punk rock, psychedelia and their devotion to bands like The MC5, The Monks, and The Music Machine, The Jackets bring a dynamic recipe to the garage rock ‘menu.'”  And they’ve been getting lots of airplay recently in Hollywood on Rodney on the Roq! Wow! Well done!

#3) The Jackets – Wasting My Time https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ypfe8kYz9Zk

Next up is a band from Los Angeles called, Hear Kitty Kitty. Their Facebook page describes them as a pop punk/rock/alternative band. This song was featured on another Top Video countdown that I did the song selection for, but I like it so much, it’s back! And, not to mention, they are currently touring the USA! You go Hear Kitty Kitty!

#2) Hear Kitty Kitty Lift Off  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ATKfO0wKDcs

At #1 is this band called the Wavves and it is their debut on the countdown! Wavves is an American rock band, based in San Diego, California.

#1) Wavves – Way Too Much https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gPdx7Il9DrM

FREEBIE! Finally, today’s freebie. This week is a Japanese rock band from Kyushu (Kyushu again!?) Kyushu is Japan’s Southernmost island (my mom was born in Kokura!) and this is the band’s third time on our countdown! Their name is Titty Twister! I LOVE THIS BAND! Here they are doing a cover of the Chula Vista California punk band, “The Zeros.”

FREEBIE (オマケ）: Titty Twister / Don’t Push Me Around https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RD2k44C1k4Q

Well, that’s it for today! Bands! Send me your videos!

Everyone! Have a great Rock and Roll weekend! See ya next week!

Top 3 Videos for October 2, 2015! The Monsters, Dirty Coal Train, Subways, Japan’s Own The Mack Show!

2015年10月2日 / 5 Comments

It’s Top 3 Video time! The top 3 Indies artist’s videos chosen by me and given airplay on our FM radio show in Japan, “WTF?” (What the Funday?) (Please come “Like” our FB page: https://www.facebook.com/WhattheFunday76.1?ref=hl)

Before we start, I have to give a Hat Tip to my friend, Christopher Jack in Kyushu, Japan (that’s the southernmost island). Christopher has been turning me onto lots of cool music recently (like some of today’s countdown!) Christopher is in the band the Routes. We have been playing the Routes constantly recently on this countdown and on the radio show. Check out last week’s recommendation by the Routes right here: The Routes – Do What’s Right By You  (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4iVLUIHDZYc)

OK. Let’s go! First up today, I’d like to introduce you to a man who must have escaped the lunatic asylum (No, not the same one I was in!) His name is The Reverend Beat-man Zeller. He is a Swiss musician, DJ and record company owner. He performs as a one-man band, as the leader of psychobilly band, The Monsters, and with other bands, in a style described as primitive rock and roll and as “gospel blues trash.”

I figure this guy must be dangerous, but if you just keep your hands away from his mouth, you’ll be fine.

#3) The Monsters – Blow Um Mau Mau https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zs7CQBHyo3Y

Next is a band that, well, hell I don’t know, I think they are from Portugal or something. It says they are from Lisbon on their FB page… (See? There’s a Lisbon in Portugal and another one in Ohio, USA – look for the freeway exit!) The Dirty Coal Train are a Garage, Post Punk, Blues band that features old testament bass, exorcised guitar, devil drums and preaching. The Dirty Coal Train Bandcamp page is worth a few chuckles too: (http://dirtycoaltrain.bandcamp.com/)

#2) The Dirty Coal Train – Violet Black https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q0tWQ7roMzo

At #1 this week are the Subways. The Subways are an English rock band from Welwyn Garden City, Hertfordshire who have been around for ten years now, since 2005. This is their latest single that just came out.

#1) The Subways – Good Times https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZJfQMLnFhvI

Finally, today’s freebie is a japanese band that’s been around for a long time and they are called, the Mackshow. My artist and designer extraordinaire friend, Takebo (Akinori Takeda), loves them! I saw the Mackshow at the “Rock N Roll Summit” in Shibuya last week and they were fucking great!

FREEBIE: THE MACKSHOW – Nanahan Kozou no Theme https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jOVxI7DE-U8

Well, hope you enjoyed the madness this week. See you next week!

Top 3 Videos for Sept. 25, 2015! Death by Unga Bunga, The Interrupters, Dollyrots, Japan’s Own The Routes

2015年9月25日 / 4 Comments

Hey! Damn! WTF? There’s a worldwide Garage Rock boom going on (or so it seems to me!) It’s rockin’ and Japan is in the middle! Cool!

Before we get into the hits (or misses, as have you…) I have to say thanks to my wife Yuka, who puts up with my shit everyday! She’s the best! I’m drunk every night and she doesn’t complain! (OK. OK. I didn’t drink the last two days but that’s only because I haven’t felt well.) But I’m drinkin’ tonight! Drinkin Wine Spo-dee-o-dee, drinkin’ wine! (I don’t drink wine. But who’s counting?)

First up today is a band from Norland! (Norway, Finland? Whatever!)

#3) Death By Unga Bunga – Feel Alright https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A0LVTsDoAPA

At #2 is a band that my friend in Paris, Yukiko Shimoda, really digs and she actually had her photo taken with them and her handsome husband, a few weeks ago when they played Paris! (How is that possible???!!!) They are on Tim Armstrong’s (Rancid) label, Hellcat! (Thanks a gazillion to Kitano Mayumi!!!!! I LOVE YOU GUYS!!!!! LIFE IS SHORT LET’S HAVE FUN!!!!!!!!!!!!)

#2) The Interrupters – Take Back The Power  https://www.youtube.com/watch?t=2&v=q7Ol-YDS4Jc

At #1 is a band that was introduced to me by Kona Cindy, Cindy Kona (Whatever…Can’t keep it straight). Kona Cindy has introduced me to like, 7 of the last 4 #1 hits on the Japan chart! How does she do it???? This girl has her shit together! If you wanna be played in America and Japan, then Kona Cindy is THEE conduit for that!!!! Anyway, thanks Kona Cindy!!! Kona Cindy introduced me to this fricking great band! From Los Angeles, it’s The Dollyrots. This record has been played constantly on my radio show for the last few weeks. And, why not? This fucking rocks!

#1) The Dollyrots – Da Doo Ron Ron Ron/I Wanna be Sedated  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uZZEZfyLgLo

And speaking of Los Angeles, Rodney of the Roq, THEE Rodney Bingenheimer, who I used to be a Go-Fer for in 1980 and 1981 (Rodney introduced me to the Clash, Ramones, Blondie, Phil Spector, Guns and Roses, and a bunch of other people that I can’t remember!). Rodney played this band on his radio show on last Sunday night! Japan’s own, The Routes! These guys have been getting tons of airplay in Europe and on my measly radio show too. The Routes are fricking HOT!

BONUS TRACK: The Routes – Do What’s Right By You https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4iVLUIHDZYc

Cool!

Top 3 Videos for Sept. 18, 2015! Fidlar, Jungle Giants, Su凸ko D凹koi and Barrence Whitfield

2015年9月17日 / 6 Comments

We’re back for this week’s Top 3 Videos! Our favorite new Indies artist’s videos for the week of Sept 18, 2015!

First up today at #3 is Fidlar. FIDLAR is a skate punk/garage punk band from Los Angeles, California. The band’s name is an acronym for ‘Fuck It Dog, Life’s A Risk.’ This is their latest single and it’s hot!

#3) FIDLAR – West Coast https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ztlZq_qqu-4

Next up is a new band called, The Jungle Giants. The Jungle Giants are an Australian four-piece band. Rolling Stone magazine gave their newest album, Speakerzoid, 4 out of 5 stars.

#2) The Jungle Giants – Kooky Eyes https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UFG8HafUsfM

And this week’s #1 song is by a Japanese all-girl punk outfit who are definitely not strangers to our countdown as this is at least their 4th appearance in the Top 3! From Tokyo, Japan, here’s Su凸ko D凹koi (Su Ko D Koi – This translates into something like, “You’re stupid” or “You are useless” but not in a very aggressive manner…)

#1) Su凸ko D凹koi｢店長、私バイト辞めます。｣ (Store manager! I’m Going to Quit) https://www.youtube.com/watch?t=28&v=iidnGJKJ-rQ

Finally, today’s freebie and it’s Barrence Whitfield & The Savages. These guys have been getting lots of airplay on my radio show and they call themselves a, “punk soul outfit.”

FREEBIE: Barrence Whitfield & The Savages – The Corner Man https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hJ9E-NckNiU

Top 3 Videos for Sept. 11, 2015! Texaco Leatherman, The Atom Age, Blonde Summer, the Routes!

2015年9月11日 / 2 Comments

Once again time for the Top 3 Videos… The Top 3 Indies artists videos sent straight to you from Tokyo, Japan! We have some hot rock n roll for you today!

First up today is a band heartily recommended by my friend Bee Bee Clarke. Bee Bee has his ear to the wall in the Tokyo music scene and knows his stuff. He writes, “Texaco Leatherman … take what’s expected and fuck it silly before the audience.” Yeah. These guys are scary, like the Cramps!

#3) Texaco Leatherman – Jason Bill https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TANyiBZ9mas

At #2 today is a band that’s been getting lots of airplay on the radio show, The Atom Age. Their webpage says, “The Atom Age find their inspiration from the dust covered collections of unhinged 60’s punk and R&B, whose crazed energy was once misconceived as a better fit for your trashcan than for your turntable.”

#2) The Atom Age – Wasteoid https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BFRCUoK-gkw

At this week’s #1 is Los Angeles Indie rockers, Blonde Summer. Rodney on the Roq has been playing them a lot, so what’s good enough for Rodney is usually good enough for me!

#1) Blonde Summer // “High Times”

BONUS TRACK!

Quick question: When was the last time you heard of Kyushu?

“What is a Kyushu?” is an entirely acceptable response.

Kyushu is Japan’s southernmost large island. Its largest city is Fukuoka. There seems to be something going on down there as we have been playing a lot of bands from that area. Namely, last week we had Titty Twister, and this week we have a band that I think is fucking awesome, The Routes! The Routes are down in Kyushu but they’ve been getting lots of airplay and attention in Europe and on my Sunday show. If you liked the Pebbles or Nuggets album series, you are gonna dig this!

BONUS TRACK! The Routes – Day and Night https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TWOoOL1T9ZA
