New group on Jindies.com

I've been waiting for this Osaka-based group to put their music on Jindies.com for a long time. And now they are finally here!. EEE, pronounced "Triple E" have nine single MP3s up. They are all great. And not only that, they are all free! (For now that is.)

My favorites tunes are "Love Attraction", "Kusei ni", and "Jelly Beans".
The sexy, smooth and syrupy, lead female voice on "Kusei-ni" melts my heart! She's like a Japanese version of Anita Baker.

Listen to EEE's tunes, download the ones you like. And if you happen to be a podcaster, feel free to use the tunes in your podcast (I have...many times). Just tell your listeners the name of the tune, the name of the group - "Triple E", and where your listeners can get the tunes - at Jindies.com.

The Darryl Beaton Band - OH! - MY! - GOD!

Last night I had the great fortune to see the Darryl Beaton Band at a small "live house" - Planet K in Kichijoji. And unbelivably, the cover was only 2000 yen.

(check out WHIT's podcast about them)

This Australian band blew my mind and their performance sucked the energy right out of me. Definitely one of the hottest bands I've seen in my life.

Check this band out while you can still get up close because I got the feeling that the next time they come to Tokyo, you'll be sitting in the back of the Budokan, or paying 20,000 yen at the Blue Note.

Great Events coming soon!

4/19 （Sat） Darryl Beaton Band at Numabukuro Sanctuary
