Top 3 Videos for Aug. 13, 2016! Black Honey, Mirror Trap, Spam 69 (Japan), Rock ‘n’ Roll Monkey & the Robots!

It’s time once again for the Top 3 Videos! The best of the Top 3 Indies Band videos for August 13, 2016!

And at #3 this week is the newest sensation from Brighton England. A female fronted 4-piece named Blood Honey and they are coming to Japan! 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/

Black Honey describe themselves as a, “60’s alternative female fronted indie psychedelic rock chick band from Brighton.” They are cool.

Oh, and here is the FB page for Black Honey: 
https://www.facebook.com/BlackHoneyUK

#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

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/

SPOTLIGHT ARTIST! myeahns 『デッカバンド』 Decca Band –  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WRYZeWi_R1c

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

It’s time once again for the Top 3 Videos! The best of the Top 3 Indies Band videos for July 2, 2016!

First up is a guy from Essex, England who calls himself “Rat Boy.” This sounds like an updated Beastie Boys and I dig it! He’s got a great webpage. Go check it out and click on stuff.

It’s time once again for the Top 3 Videos! The best of the Top 3 Indies Band videos for June 25, 2016!

First up today is a band I just stumbled upon this morning (it was early, I can’t remember how I found them!). This band is 3 guys and a hot girl from St. Petersburg, Russia! They describe themselves as, “Experimental, bedroom dream pop, female vocalist, garage rock, goth, lo-fi, Russian shoegaze.” Well, I guess that just about covers it! I like this a lot. Go be the first one on your block to go “Like” their FB page: https://www.facebook.com/angelicmilkofficial/

#3) angelic milk – Rebel Black https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OBrwwZbDrTg

Next up is a band from Seattle, Washington that reminds me a tad bit of the girl’s group, “Hinds” from Spain. Today’s #2 are an all-girl 4-piece who self describe themselves as, “Barf-core/fart-core/vomit-garage.” Mmmm? This sounds tasty. Here is their FB page: https://www.facebook.com/mommymommylonglegs

#2) Mommy Long Legs – Life Rips  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3mWdA97KyOg

At #1 this week is something BRAND NEW by Richie Ramone. Folks, seriously, I gave this tune its world-debut on my radio show when Richie was in Japan and I have to say this is a great tune. In fact, I think this is one of the greatest Ramones tunes (n)ever made. Thank God for Richie for cranking out this future classic. Best punk song of the year? Go Like Richie’s FB page: https://www.facebook.com/RichieRamoneOfficial/?fref=ts

#1) Richie Ramone –  I Fix This    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ows6w04lptw

Oh, let me brag, while Richie Ramone was here, we went to have a beer and lunch with bassist Clare. It was fun! Thanks Richie and Clare!
