Soil & Pimp Session

Its time to jazz this little shit hole up a little bit. These Japanese cats play what they called "Death Jazz"- a bit rough,aggressive and punky around the edge, but they always maintain that elegant and mature sound of jazz. These guys had travelled around the world playing some big name jazz festival and winning some jazz awards-pretty much recognized internationally.

A little story on their name, from the mouth of Sacho the front man:

"Soil is like the sand or the mud or the earth which are very natural and warm things. ‘Pimp’ is based on something brilliant like a gold chain, which sometimes is linked to gangsters. These words have opposite meanings I think, like ying & yang. Two opposite meanings into the one music - that is our style...We expose both sides of the human being...'Sessions.’ We always want to present our music as an individual session, because coming up we did not want to do the same set every live gig."

Swan Song

Blankey Jet City-Saturday Night single

This song always very special to me. It perfectly captured the raw intensity of early BJC material and the sleekness of their later era. The perfect final song indeed.

N' Shukugawa Boys

 A side project from the King Brother's members Maya and Shinnosuke, plus a punky, smoking hot Linda. Every band should have a Linda I think, it make so much difference. She makes me think of Jack White playing the drums while possessing Meg's body. Somewhere in their sloppily google-translated website mentioned that she is a model. I don't have no argument about that. And in an amateur videos of their gig in London's Catch, Maya announce that he work as a house cleaner(windows beatiful thankyou! Floor beatiful Thankyou!) A very fitting job for a rocker I must say, must have soak up lots of blues there.


It is an indie minimalist guitar-drum-vocal combo, with lo-fi style much similar to early King Brother's(minus the blues). The boys getup a bit strange though, with Maya and his blue panda eyes and Shinnosuke's suggesting that somehow Jimi Hendrix's DNA managed to trickle down to him, but only the fashion sense I must say.
