At #1 this week are four guys from Atlanta, Georgia. They say they like to play rock n roll music and party. I have been playing these guys just about everyday on my daily radio show on Rakuten Superrr Radio and the reaction has been very good. The Future Babes also have a Facebook page, go check it out: https://www.facebook.com/thefuturebabes/?fref=ts

#1) The Future Babes- Cold Blooded https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z8gHgWZBv30

SPOTLIGHT ARTIST! First up is a band that was introduced to me by my friend Satoshi Miyaki. Another cool Japanese girl’s rock band!… But wait a minute! There’s a foreign girl in the band playing guitar too! Way cool! Their name is the Twinkle Twinkles. I know NOTHING about them as I have written to their label and have received no answer (that actually happens surprisingly a lot!) But when I played them on the radio on my Sunday show, everyone seemed to like it. Here’s the Facebook page for the Twinkle Twinkles: https://www.facebook.com/Twinkle-Twinkles-229909200404887/?fref=ts
