Top 3 Videos for Mar. 26, 2016! Reverend Horton Heat, Dog Party, Aquadolls, Walkings from Japan!

It’s time for The Top 3 Indies Artists Videos for the week of Mar. 26, 2016! Welcome back to the Top 3 Video countdown!

First up is a band from California. Two sisters who call themselves “Dog Party.” The story goes like this: When eldest sister Gwen was 9, she pushed a drum kit into Lucy’s bedroom (her then 6-year-old sister) and proclaimed, “We’re starting a punk band!” Fab! Here they are covering “Los Angeles” originally by the 70s Los Angeles punk band, X! Here’s Dog Party’s FB page: https://www.facebook.com/dogpartylive

#3) Dog Party Los Angeles https://youtu.be/GIn0SCdCu5I

At #2 is a 4 piece band from Los Angeles and Orange County. They call themselves a “psychedelic surf punk” outfit. They have been getting lots of requests on my FM radio show and rave reviews (“WTF?” on Interfm 897 in Tokyo and Nagoya, Japan – that’s me on the far right!) Here’ their FB page: https://www.facebook.com/theaquadolls/?fref=ts

#2) Melissa Brooks and The Aquadolls – Sinus Infection https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6opkuvVQuLQ

Next up is a fab track sent to us by Kona Cindy. I guess Kona Cindy is good buddies with the manager of the good reverend… Hey! Wait a minute!? Since when do reverends need managers besides the Good Lord? Here’s the latest from Reverend Horton Heat who are a Rockabilly, Psychobilly, Country, Surf, Rock n Roll band from Dallas, Texas. “Go “Like” their FB page: https://www.facebook.com/reverendhortonheat/?fref=ts

#1) Reverend Horton Heat – Let Me Teach You How To Eat https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H96XcNWKZVg

SPOTLIGHT ARTIST! Japan’s own version of T-Rex 2016! The Walkings. These are 3 guys from Tokyo who are really happening. Reviewers are saying they are reminiscent of Led Zeppelin or the White Stripes. We’ve played them several times on the radio show and I suspect this band is going to be huge! Here’s their FB page: https://www.facebook.com/walkingsband/

Here’s Walkings homepage: http://walkings.wix.com/walkings

Cool and Strange Music Countdown – Mar. 21, 2015 – Mr. Diagonal, Hexstatic, Messer Chups, Messer Fur Frau Muller!

We’re back to Cool & Strange Music for March 21, 2016! This week’s chart is the grooviest and most out of this world line up of musical bizarreness on the planet!

Today, I have some homework to catch up on so, let me clear out my Cool & Strange cabinet. First up is a band we featured last week called Messer Chups. Messer Chups is a trio from St. Petersburg, Russia (used to be called Leningrad for all you geekoholics!) Messer Chups have tons of fab tunes. They used to be in a unit called “Messer fur Frau Muller” and I’ll tell you more about them in a minute. But first, this awesome twist for all you David Lynch and Twin Peaks fans! Here’s their FB page: https://www.facebook.com/messerchups/?fref=ts

#3) Messer Chups – Twin Peaks Twist https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tZZHrK311aw

Next up is another artist that debuted two week’s ago on our Cool & Strange Music countdown. It’s Hexstatic from Jolly Old. Two guys who mix up visuals as well as sounds. This is an awesome mashup of the 1966 smash hit by Frank Sinatra’s daughter Nancy Sinatra. Here is Nancy’s original: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SbyAZQ45uww. Now check out the Hexstatic mashup. This is KILLER!

#2) Hexstatic – Nancy`s Boots  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wu8VEN4K83o

At #1 is the band that was the original configuration of Messer Chups. Their name was Messer fur Frau Muller (In English that translates to: “A Knife for Mrs. Muller.”) There isn’t much information about either band on English language pages on the internet, but one common thing I’ve noticed is that the guitarist, Oleg Gitarkin and that hot Russian goddess on bass, Svetlana Zombierella Nagaeva, were in both bands. This next song was one of, if not the, most requested song in the 25-year history of my radio show.

#1) Messer fur Frau Muller – The Best Girl in USSR https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jUzcKlgy_a4

SPOTLIGHT ARTIST! Today a special treat! It’s Mr. Diagonal. Not much seems to be known about Mr. Diagonal but we do know that he was once a member of Mr. Diagonal and the Black Light Orchestra which was a group that consisted of a guy named Mr. Diagonal and two statues (judging by their FB page). Now, according to informed sources, Mr. Diagonal suddenly disappeared on Feb. 29, 2016 and hasn’t been seen since. Some are suspecting “fowl” play. I suspect he’s “chicken.” Nevertheless, he is under contractual agreement to appear in Japan for several shows starting today, in fact, and lasting until the end of this month. To prevent Mr. Diagonal from being sued in Japanese court, I hear that Dan Barbenel has agreed to step in and perform at these shows…

I’m sure Interpol will be there too with questions for about the sudden disappearance of  Mr. Diagonal and where Mr. Barbenel was at the time. Go check it out. Tour dates below the video. Here is Mr. Diagonal’s FB page:  https://www.facebook.com/mrdiagonal/?fref=ts

SPOTLIGHT ARTIST!  Mr Diagonal – Holiday on Ice  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NrVKsWx_CKc

Top 3 Videos for Mar. 19, 2016! Purple, Pom Poms, Taymir and Wotzit from Japan!!

It’s time for The Top 3 Indies Artists Videos for the week of Mar. 20, 2016! Welcome back to the Top 3 Video countdown!

First up is a band introduced to us by Hollywood Party girl Kona Cindy. The band’s name is Taymir and they are 4 lads from Rotterdam, Netherlands. This video is cool because the song rocks but they are also playing it live, so that’s quite unusual for a music video. Here’s their FB page: https://www.facebook.com/Taymirmusic

#3) TAYMIR – Doghouse  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r_lccRw51M4

At #2 is a 5-piece group from Los Angeles, California that is performing at SXSW right now! This is hot! The Pom Poms. Here’s their FB, go Like it: https://www.facebook.com/pompomsmusic/?fref=ts

#2) Pom Poms – 123   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TOopJc06yZY

At #1 this week is Purple from Beaumont, Texas. Purple is three rockers and a they feature a hot girl who sometimes growls when she sings! It’s great! It’s their 3rd time on our countdown. They call their music Punk/Rock/Stuff. Here’s their Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/purpletexasmusic

#1) Purple – Bliss https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BVjT_mGcB8s

Earlier this week, I did a TV special for the folks at Tower Records as they were promoting the punk rock classic, “The Decline of Western Civilization.” It was fun. I wore my “Used Car Salesman clothes” (that reminds me how some of the guys in Repoman dressed.” (That’s me in the middle)

The Decline of Western Civilization Japan

Here’s information about the film and showings in Japan on Tower Records TV page: http://www.towerrevo.jp/article/20890/

Anyway, why I mention this is that I became friends with the two guys who run this Tower Records project, Naohiro Yamada and Masao Nakagami. These guys know their shit!!! They know everything about what’s really going on. I asked them to introduce me to some cool new Japanese Punk outfits and Nakagami san sent me a BUNCH of them within 10 minutes!

Thanks guys! You guys rock and are singlehandedly spreading the word about cool music to Japan and cool Japanese music to the world! I am proud to know you! Keep up the good work!

SPOTLIGHT ARTIST! Wotzit! Wotzit has no videos with good sound on Youtube. Their Bandcamp page says, they are “Soaked with Venom.” And a Punk Rock band from Tokyo. Formed in 2015.

Top 3 Videos for Mar. 12, 2016! HINDS, Lola Dutronic, Rews, Japan’s TADZIO!

Welcome back to the Top 3 Video countdown. The Top 3 Indies Artists Videos for the week of Mar. 12, 2016! And it’s “Ladies Nite!” on the Top 3 this week with some of my recent fave acts that are females or have a female lead singer!

First up at #3! Is Hinds. This band was turned on to us by alert reader and friend named Mami Nagamachi! Thanks Mami!!!!! Wikipedia says, “Hinds is a Spanish indie rock band from Madrid, formed in 2011. The original name of the band was Deers, but they were forced to change it at the end of 2014, due to the threat of legal action from a similarly named band.” What? That other band must suck! That’s bullshit, ladies! Another band doesn’t own the copyright on the English language or the name “Deers.” They can’t sue you… Oh well…

#3) HINDS | Chili Town https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cdHVboNNkAo

Next up are two girls from London who call themselves, “Rews.” Today’s song just came out at the start of March. Of course, on WTF? we’ve been playing this constantly. It’s great. Awesome lyrics. Here’s their FB page. You go, “Like”! https://www.facebook.com/wearerewsmusic/?fref=ts

#2) REWS – Death Yawn https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fTWx9nmMU4w

This week’s #1 is another song Hot Off The Presses! It’s a duo who has been on the Top 3 many times in the past. Lola Dutronic is a Canadian electronica duo, consisting of remixer/producer Richard Citroen and vocalist Stephanie B. The band adapts songs from the French and British sixties (from artists such as Serge Gainsbourg, Françoise Hardy, Brigitte Bardot or John Barry) with modern electronic arrangements. They have issued five albums and two EPs so far. Here is their FB page: https://www.facebook.com/LOLA-DUTRONIC-80232595392/?fref=ts

#1) Lola Dutronc – Harley Davidson  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Af2dtXm0mw

TODAY’S SPOTLIGHT ARTIST: Today’s Spotlight Artist from Japan are two girls who make a hell of a lot of racket for only having a drum kit and a guitar. Their name is Tadzio. They are getting a following overseas and have been featured on “Spine TV” in the UK. They call themselves a “Roaring Hardcore Pop Band.” Here’s their FB page: https://www.facebook.com/TADZIO-122557687912383/?fref=ts

SPOTLIGHT ARTIST: TADZIO / DEATH DRIVE – KISS https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QQlZsVXjjJw

Cool and Strange Music Countdown – Feb. 13, 2015 – Star Wars Mah Na Mah Na, Dj Trotsky, Messer Chups!

We’re back to Cool & Strange Music for March 7, 2016! This week’s chart is way cool for you cool guys and gals, geeks and geekettes, dorks and dorkettes!

First up is a song that everyone knows. It was written by Piero Umiliani. Umiliani is an Italian composer of film scores and today we feature a song that is a world famous track. “Mah Nà Mah Nà” (1968) was originally used in Sweden: Heaven and Hell, a 1968 Mondo documentary about Sweden, but the song was popularized by The Muppets, who covered the song several times on their own show as well as The Ed Sullivan Show. The track was also a hit in the UK, reaching number 8 in the UK Singles Chart in May 1977. Today’s version is by Cake who is an American alternative rock band from Sacramento, California. This songs has really nothing to do with Star Wars, but do you think there is a geek in the room who cares?

#3) Cake – Star Wars Mahna Mahna https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3qF6yjFZbTY

Next up is a band that have become “regulars” on the Cool & Strange music countdown (“Regulars” on “Cool & Strange”? Hmmm?) They are a hot surf-rock band from St. Petersburg, Russia! (“Surf Rock from St. Petersburg, Russia!?” Are you kidding me?) Look for the hot sounds and the hot guitar and girl in the bikini! (I wouldn’t kick her out of bed for eating animal crackers!) Here’s their FB page. Go Like it! https://www.facebook.com/messerchups/

#2) Messer Chups – Curse of Stephen Kong https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-LtsJmxcj2M

Finally, this week’s #1. This is Dj Trotsky. DJ Trotsky is Los Angeles based producer, songwriter, bassist, mixer and DJ David Brownstein. This week’s #1 is a hot track and cover of Iggy Pop’s “Search and Destroy.” Imagine, if you can, Amy Winehouse doing a sultry cover of that Iggy song! Can’t imagine it? OK, check it out right here! This is “Very Cool!”
While you’re at it, go “Like” DJ Trotsky on FB: https://www.facebook.com/DJ-Trotsky-886854641332900/

#1) DJ Trotsky – Search and Destroy (feat. Koralee) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5S9zD1XvZSA

Thanks to Trip to the Moon for the trippy illusion! Check them out here: http://www.triptomoon.com/

Well that’s it for Cool & Strange Music for this week. Have a great weekend! – Mike in Tokyo Rogers

Top 3 Videos for Feb. 27, 2016! Black Mambas, Baby Shakes, Love Me Nots, The Soap (Japan)!

Welcome back to the Top 3 Video countdown. The Top 3 Indies Artists Videos for the week of Feb. 27, 2016!

First up of a band that was introduced to us by the queen of the beautiful party girls in Los Angeles, Asia Muka (I hope she doesn’t get mad at me for saying that… It’s just my impression!) Asia takes care of some really cool rock’n’roll bandsHere’s the Black Mambas from Los Angeles! This is a video shot while the boys were touring in Europe for their “Black Mambas Rock’n’Roll Fuck Shit Up Euro tour 2015!” Here’s their FB page: https://www.facebook.com/blckmambas/

#3) Black Mambas – 2 AM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ABb_sTUf60g

Next up are three girls who debuted on our countdown just last week! The Baby Shakes! I love them! I’ve been playing them on our radio show too and Kona Cindy arranged for the girl’s to be on Rodney on the Roq’s show last week. Rodney says the baby Shakes are the “Female Ramones!” I think they are like a cross between the Bangles and the Ramones… (So, I mean, they remind me of the “Bangs” – which is what the Bangles were called when they first got together. These girls are HOT! Here’s their FB page: https://www.facebook.com/babyshakesny/?fref=ts

#2) Baby Shakes “I’ll Be Alright” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oRdniLrEzLc

At #1 is a band fromPhoenix, Arizona, the Love Me Nots. I have been playing this band on my radio show for a few years now and I’m happy to be introducing them to you here.  They describe themselves as “fuzz-and-farfisa, rocknroll!” This band rocks! I love it!

#1) The Love Me Nots – Don’t Let Him https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XySc2Oof3H4

Spotlight Artist! Every week on the countdown I try to add a bonus track and introduce something special. Usually, I strive to show you good folks some great Japanese underground bands. Today, we go to the vaults for a three girl and one guy band from Kyoto named “The Soap.” I am a big fan of this group. The video was made by Ken Nishikawa and me. (Ken did all the hard work – I slept on the sofa during editing!)

Top 3 Videos for Feb. 20, 2016! Wavves, Baby Shakes, SWMRS, The Pats Pats!

It’s time once again for the Top 3 Video countdown. The Top 3 Indies Artists Videos for the week of Feb. 21, 2016! I think you’ll really enjoy today’s countdown as the videos are all pretty cool or even hilarious!

First up is SWMRS. SWMRS  (pronounced as “Swimmers”) is a punk rock outfit from Oakland, California. They formed in 2004. They draw on a mix of influences ranging from the Beach Boys to the Ramones to create their own brand of rock and roll. This song is hilarious! I never thought that Miley Cyrus was punk rock, but, well, I guess she is.

#3) SWMRS – Miley https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NKbNDIigdlg

At #2 is Wavves, another band from California! This is their 3rd appearance on our countdown!

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

The next band up is from New York and I think they are one of the most exciting new finds in sometime. Their name is “Baby Shakes” and they just finished touring Japan. I found out about them because my friends in Osaka said that they were Fab! I describe them as “the Ramones meet the Bangles.” This band is going to be huge!

#1) Baby Shakes – Summer Sun https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MuHU5yAOYik

SPOTLIGHT ARTIST! Today’s Spotlight Artist was last week’s Spotlight Artist! Tokyo’s own girl group, The Pats Pats. I’ve been playing them quite heavily on the radio. Dig it!

Cool and Strange Music Countdown – Feb. 13, 2015 – Mojo Nixon & Skid Roper, Hexstatic, Great David Bowie & John Lennon Imitator!

We’re back to Cool & Strange Music for Feb 13, 2016! And I’ve got some great weird stuff for you today!

First up, an oldie from 1985. It’s Mojo Nixon and Skid Roper! The name of their debut album and their real names too! They are two rock/psychobilly musical artists and this hot track was released in 1985. Blogger RYP writes of this album, “It reveals this dynamic duo at their vibrant best, putting across an instrumental conceit that weds a kind of old-timey instrumentation with a whisky-soaked, poetry-slam mentality.”… Another fave track of mine on this twisted slab of vinyl is “Jesus at McDonald’s.” Look for it… Oh, and the album credits the boys with: Skid Roper: upright washboard and other stuff; Mojo Nixon: vocals, guitar and foot.

#3) Mojo Nixon & Skid Roper – Debbie Gibson Is Pregnant With My Two Headed Love Child https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cXLuSHx1fR0

At #2 is Hexstatic. Hexstatic is an English electronic music duo that formed in 1997. Hexstatic specializes in creating “quirky audio visual electro.” They have released two CD/DVDs so far. This stuff is VERY cool.

#2) Hexstatic – Nancy’s Boots https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wu8VEN4K83o

Are you still missing David Bowie? I am. At #1 is a delightful Bowie imitator that made this video in 2009. I think this is great! Check it out. (Sorry, but it seems that no one knows this guy’s name!)

#1) David Bowie & John Lennon Imitator – Fame https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vkLE1Gno724

Well that’s it for Cool & Strange Music for this week. Have a great weekend! – Mike in Tokyo Rogers
