Top 3 Indies Artist Videos for Nov. 12, 2016! Suzy Blu, Candy Ditches (Japan), RPMs, Seth Bogart!

It’s time once again for the Top 3 Indies Artist Video Countdown. The Top 3 best Indies and Alternative Music artists for the week of Nov. 12, 2016!

First up is Suzy Blu from Leeds. Her webpage says, “Dark electric pop from Leeds (UK). Suzy Blu combines heavy old school beats with layers of feedback drenched melody, and experimental driving bass. Suzy Blu is a writer and poet who serves her black coffee vocals on a plate of electronic post-punk attitude.” Today’s track is the 4th of 6 singles she is releasing before the end of 2016. It’s fab! Been giving it lots of airplay on the radio. Here’s her Facebook page too: https://www.facebook.com/suzyblufanclub/

#3) SUZY BLU – In The Dark https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CeL8FkhapB0

At #2 is a brand new band from Brighton England. They are called the RPMs. They descibe themselves as, “A rock band not afraid of a good pop tune – they are inspired by the likes of Tom Petty, The La’s, Arctic Monkeys and The Who, but with a little something all their own.” We’ve been playing this on the radio a lot too. They have a Facebook page too! https://www.facebook.com/TheRPMsOfficial/?fref=ts

#2) The RPMs – ‘I Think It’s Stupid But I Think It’s Love’ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u_-v_EkAt3g

At #1 this week is a great artist and musician with a sense of humor that the grandparents probably won’t appreciate. Chuckle! His name is Seth Bogart. Seth Bogart is/was the lead vocalist of Hunx and Punx. He has one of the most interesting and fun homepages I’ve seen in a long time. Check it here: http://sethbogart.com/

He also has a fun FB page too: https://www.facebook.com/sethbogartofficial/

#1) Seth Bogart “Eating Makeup (featuring Kathleen Hanna)” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GoNkQOKi1gY

SPOTLIGHT ARTIST! On our weekly countdown, I usually spotlight at least one cool Japanese rock band. Today is a 3-piece garage rock band from Tokyo who call themselves the Candy Ditches. Candy Ditches consists of three guys who just got together about a year ago! Wow!… Seriously, that’s about all I know about these guys. This song and video is WAY COOL! Play it at maximum volume! Oh, they have a Facebook page too: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=850819668322785

SPOTLIGHT ARTIST! The Candy Ditches – Death Ray  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ulXFFUsTgEU

Oh, and if you like these artists and these hot tunes, I will be playing all these songs on my FM radio show tomorrow, Sunday November 13 (“WTF? on InterFM 897 8 am ~ 11 am) on a PC or smartphone? Here: http://radiko.jp/

That’s all for today! See you next week when we return to the Top 3 Indies Artist Videos Countdown. See ya! – Mike in Tokyo Rogers

Top 3 Indies Artist Videos for Oct. 15, 2016! Chris Catalyst, Suzy Blu, Garbage, Su Ko D Koi (Japan)

It’s time once again for the Top 3 Indies Artist Video Countdown. The Top 3 best Indies and Alternative Music artists for the week of Oct. 15, 2016!

First up is a guy who was introduced to us by Ginger Wildheart who is a regular on our Top 3. Introducing Chris Catalyst. Chris is a “Bloke in some bands” and he is from Leeds, England. He is coming out with his solo debut. Here is his FB page, go “Like” it. https://www.facebook.com/ChrisCatalystMusic/

#3) Chris Catalyst – Sticks and Stones https://vimeo.com/184529502

Next up is Suzy Blu. Coincidentially, Suzy Blu seems to be from Leeds too. Wow! I like Suzy a lot and she is getting great reviews! Check it! Suzy is putting out one single per month from July 2016 to the end of this year. Here is item #3. Here also is her Facebook page for more info: https://www.facebook.com/suzyblufanclub/?fref=ts

#2) SUZY BLU – Kill Your Friends, For Fun https://youtu.be/w3hJcPjHbqI

Finally, at #1 is Garbage and their newest single Magnetized. Why did I pick this as this week’s #1? Well, because the little girl who plays Shirley Manson as a child, is my niece! No kidding… Well, not exactly my real niece… But I am proud enough of her and her dad (who is one of my best friends and a legendary stand up bassist) to call them my own. Shirley Manson and Garbage are awesome. Lenore, the little kid, is a natural… And, perhaps a future star? I can see her doing sequels and starring as Carrie….. Lenore! Great job! Well done! Don’t dream it. Be it! 

#1) Garbage – Magnetized https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TcfOmhGJ8G4

SPOTLIGHT ARTIST! Today’s Spotlight Artist is a hot Japanese girl’s rock band from Tokyo named Su Ko D Koi. These girls have been on our Top 3 Video countdown many times. in the past. This time they’ve made a play on Offenbach’s “Heaven and Hell.” (I know that because, even though I am an old punk, I live in a house with classically trained pianists.) Offenbach’s “Heaven and Hell” used to be a staple at children’s Sports Days at elementary schools in Japan… So this is quite humorous for the Japanese. These girls went to music college so now you know the rest of the story. I love this band. Here’s their FB page: https://www.facebook.com/ssttddkk/

I’ve also been playing this regularly on my FM radio show “WTF?” and will play again tomorrow, Sunday, October 16, 2016. Check it out! http://www.interfm.co.jp/wtf/

SPOTLIGHT ARTIST! Su凸ko D凹koi (すっとこどっこい) 「元カノ地獄」 “Former Girlfriend’s Hell.” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AIv1VlnRWyw

That’s all for today! See you next week when we return to the Top 3 Indies Artist Videos Countdown. See ya! – Mike in Tokyo Rogers
