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

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/

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

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!

Top 3 Videos for Feb. 7, 2016! Ming City Rockers, Los Tiki Phantoms, Hey! Hello!, 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. 7, 2016!

Starting us off at #3 are a band who are introduced to us by Alex Kish, a DJ in the USA who hosts “Wassup Rocker Radio” (hear it online here: https://www.mixcloud.com/wassuprockerradio/). The Ming City Rockers are a four-piece rock band from Immingham, United Kingdom. “What’s an ‘Immingham’?” You ask? – It’s a town about 10 km north-west from Grimsby, on the east coast of northern England. They were originally named ‘Low Culture’ but changed their name to Ming City Rockers – inspired by The Clash song Clash City Rockers.Their style has been compared to that of “the spirit of MC5.” Their début single was entitled, ‘Chic & The Motherfuckers.’

#3) Ming City Rockers – Twist It https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SEZrD4JP9PQ

Next is a band from Catalan, Spain. The Los Tiki Phantoms is an instrumental band based on classic rock’n’roll, especially Surf Rock.  They are characterized by appearing at concerts dressed in a classic black suit and skull masks. Should they be on the Cool & Strange Music Countdown instead?

#2) Los Tiki Phantoms – Espiral Cósmica https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IhyTlYg1IWo

At #1 and just back from a triumphant tour of Japan is Hey! Hello! Hey! Hello! is an international power pop band, formed by the British singer-songwriter, Ginger Wildheart. As of 2015 the band consists of Ginger Wildheart, Hollis Mahady, The Rev, Toshi and Ai Sugiyama. The band’s name was chosen by the son of Ginger Wildheart, who had misheard the Ramones lyric “Hey Ho, Let’s Go.” This band is happening!

#1) Hey! Hello! – Automatic Love https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=olshWt0R800

SPOTLIGHT ARTIST! The Pats Pats! I try to introduce the world to cool Japanese bands every week on the Top 3 Video Countdown. Sometimes it’s tough. There’s tons of J-Pop bands (You know, think Japanese Justin Beiber, Bieber? How ever it is spelled, and they are corporate schlock.) But every once in a while something interesting comes up.

Here’s a band I found by reading an article by a gentleman by the name of Rob Dyer. Rob writes an interesting blog called, “The Real Japan.” (http://www.therealjapan.com/) I highly recommend it and like it a lot! Rob introduces us to a girl’s band (“Girl’s band!?” Say no more! Ha! Ha!) named “The Pats Pats”. He says that they, “…somehow improbably combine a love of Ramones-style punk-pop and eighties idol music.” Thanks Rob. Keep up the good work!

SPOTLIGHT ARTIST! The Pats Pats – Girls Talk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uGd5wESg3Rk

Top 3 Videos for Jan. 25, 2016! Killmama, Dukes of Hamburg, Ginger Wildheart and Courtney Love, The Sleaze-Aholics!

Welcome back after a 3 week hiatus. I didn’t go on vacation. I felt that the Top 3 wasn’t important enough due the the death of David Bowie.I’ve read where some people complained that those of us who were grieving for Bowie were ‘overdoing it.’ I don’t think so at all. My dear friend Kona Cindy sent me an article entitled, “Don’t deride those who are mourning David Bowie – this grief is serious and rational.” That article summed it up nicely for me:

“I am not coping, to be honest. Nor are many other people I know. I have never felt like this about any other public death and doubt I will again. What if there is never anyone else like him? My sadness does not mean I don’t care about Madaya or Istanbul. But this grief is serious and rational. Bowie was incomparable. Leave us be with it. There is always one damn song that can make you break down and cry. I am sorry if you never heard it. Because I did.”

That says it all as to why I didn’t post anything for these 3 weeks… Like almost every other radio DJ I know; we were in mourning.

I did, though, write my tribute to Bowie along with my eulogy here: Cool and Strange Music Countdown – Jan. 14, 2015 – David Bowie Tribute! (robot55.jp/blog/cool-and-strange-music-countdown-jan-14-2015-david-bowie-tribute/) Please check it if you want to see what I thought were the best Bowie videos ever.

Anyway, on to the Top 3… First up is a duo named “Killmama” from Florida with Rob and Sophie. They call themselves a “Garage, Blues” band. Here’s their Facebook: (https://www.facebook.com/dontkillmama/)

#3) Killmama – Bad Rep https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YHgUdnVTwEU

At #2 is a band turned onto to me by the leader of Japan’s best Beat Band, Mr. Pan of the Neatbeats! This is the Dukes of Hamburg who bill themselves as “Germany’s #1 Beat Band!” Check them on FB: (https://www.facebook.com/DukesofHamburg/?fref=ts)

#2) The Dukes of Hamburg – “Sorry” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bm12TEjNuqw

At #1 is Ginger Wildheart from the Wildhearts. This is really cool and it features Courtney Love of all people! Wow! Ginger Wildheart is coming to Japan in April and has asked to be a guest on my radio show “WTF?” (What the Funday?) on InterFM Sundays 8 am ~ 11 am. You kiddin’ me? Of course! This song is called “Honour” and it is the first single from his next album! Here is Ginger’s FB page (It’s new!) (https://www.facebook.com/pages/Ginger-musician/124288874280920)

#1) Ginger Wildheart & Courtney Love – Honour (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IrDtG_PMisk)

Finally our spotlight artist! Today’s artist is the Sleaze-aholics. They are a Hillbilly Punk Metal Southern Rock Sleaze trio from Indiana. They were introduced to me by the world famous Ron E. Fast who, despite rumors, did NOT die in the desert in Nevada. Formerly stories were swirling around that Ron had died and the police had yet to find his body, but they did find his abandoned car in the desert full of soiled women’s panties. In spite of that, Ron E. Fast assures me that he is, indeed, still alive and introduced us to this fine band as evidence. Here are the Sleaze-Aholics with their soon to be classic, “I Don’t Wanna Fight. I Wanna Fuck.”

The Sleaze-aholics? This shit is wild! Check them on FB here: (https://www.facebook.com/thesleazeaholics/?fref=ts)

Top 3 Videos for Dec. 27, 2015! John No Arms, Sunflower Bean, St. Tropez, The Neatbeats!

Time once again for the Top 3 Video Countdown! The Top 3 Indies Artists videos for Dec. 26, 2015.

But first, here’s a word from our sponsor (us): If you like this countdown every week, please come “Like” our Robot55 Facebook page (or friend us on Twitter or subscribe to our Youtube page). Thanks!

First up today is a “Heavy Rock Punk Metal” band from Brazil. Wait! What? “What is Heavy Rock Punk Metal from Brazil? Well, you are about to find out. The lead singer, Renato sent this to me and I thought “WTF?” Alright! A band member who actually sent me their music! OK! I’ll play it! Hats off to Brazilian Heavy Rock Punk Metal! Go “Like” their Facebook page or they might haunt your dreams: https://www.facebook.com/jxnxax/

#3) John No Arms – ”This Guy Is a Black Metal Maniac” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ZAl0OFRKRc

At #2 is a band we’ve been playing on our Sunday radio show quite a lot! They are called Sunflower Bean. They are a trio from Long Island/Manhattan (I guess that’s somewhere close to New York City). They describe themselves as “Night Music.” I think this is way cool!  Go “Like” their Facebook page here: https://www.facebook.com/SunflowerBean/

#2) Sunflower Bean – Wall Watcher  (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8RplDJ08s8Y)

This week’s #1 is a band from Amsterdam named, “St. Tropez.” DIY magazine says, “…they give a glam touch to straight-up rock ‘n roll, mixing talk of being “unbelievers” with religion-shunning hedonism. Like previous efforts, the track comes mixed by Spring King’s Tarek Musa – the surest seal of approval required for amped-up goodness these days.”

#1) St. Tropez – Son of God https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mltdFjSPK1A

SPOTLIGHT ARTIST! The Neatbeats! The Neatbeats are one of, if not thee, best rock and roll bands in Japan! They are called the “Japanese Beatles” in some circles and douchebags think that is simply a cover for a copy band, but no way with these guys. The Netabeats are what the Betales would have been if they didn’t become hippies and drop too much acid.

The Neatbeats - Japan's Best Rock and Roll Band?

The Neatbeats – Japan’s Best Rock and Roll Band?

The Neatbeats just returned from a tour of Spain and they have fans all over Europe! Of course, their shows in Japan get sold out consistently! The Neatbeats will star in an independent Rock and Roll Horror film in Japan in 2016 (A Japanese Rock N Roll Ghost Story) so they are happening! I love this band! And they are all nice guys and are totally Indie and have the true Rock N Roll Heart! Come and “Like” their Facebook page! (https://www.facebook.com/theneatbeats/?fref=ts)
