**"unfixed" means they do not yet have a venue for the show**

Why don't Japanese bands ever F^#$ing play in Seattle?? Don't they know that I would TOTALLY fly down there to see them???

Whoa. They're coming to Burlington.

I've never heard of them, and I won't be home at the time, but wow, no Japanese bands ever play here.

Its a cool band, I would love to see them some day.

I'll check em out in Florida

No fucking way, someone else besides me heard of tsushi??? I never find tsushi fans online. Well anyways I am a huge huge huge tsushi fan. I will go to maybe 3 of their shows (as many as possible). Well for anyone who never heard of them, please check out my fansite (crappy but has some decent info, with interviews by some of the band)The interviews are linked to at the bottom :)

I'm a big fan, i remember the first time i've heard of them:

Going down memory lane ^^ ......29 March 2006


Me and a friends was driving around in this small shit town were we live (4000 ppl lives here ) We have 3 musicstations, 1 for old ppl, 1 for classical and 1 for youths, that mostly plays shit top 50 music.
And btw, norwegian radiostation NEVER play asian music, almost only english/norwegian.

So i accidently skip from cd to radio to hear whats on.
And there it was, the coolest song i EVER heard, me and my friend was like, "ume umai tane dekai, ume umai tane dekai" so wierd and cool. When the song stopped we were eager to hear the name of the artist, i didnt know japanese at the time so i didnt know how to put words together. The host said. that was suchimamire or somthing.
And i was like sushimamari sushimamria, said it over and over to remember it.
I said to my friend. THIS song, I AM GOING TO FIND IT, DOWNLOAD IT, and TOMORROW we must hear it over and over again. :=)

Back Home:
So, www.google.no, hmmmm tried many many things, but gave up.......what do i do? :(:( Well i wrote a mail to the radioshow asking about that cool japanese song. And minutes later i got a response with name and link to bands homepage :) 29. march 2006 03:38:06

On the homepage there were samples from their cd on mp3 1 minute long, so i burned them out on a cd, and the day after we were like:

"ume umai, tane dekai, ume umai, tane dekai, ume umai, tane dekai" driving around the streets all day with full volume, getting wierd looks from ppl :)

I was so excited about this new found, that i wrote a mail to Mari and told how great their music is, she even replyed to me, that was great :)

songs name was Umeboshi Plums and is today still my favorite one.

And still, this is the only time i've ever heard asian music on norwegian radio.


puh, long text

I can go to the 9/5 sun LA(unfixed) one... wedding to go on 9/4 =(

Just listened to a few. I like the " air control remote control " song.

grabbed a couple of jigenbakuda torrents on jpopsuki and gave em a listen.

i'm sold

i think they are great :)

Yeah guys, this band is really pretty good. Their stuff is cheap too.

Got all their albums, instantly in love. Gonna see the shit out of them when they come to Florida. Their songs have really good hooks, I find myself humming it out later in the day.

looks like i can catch back to back shows in nyc and brooklyn!!

Here's a link to a newer release.

http://mullemeck.serveftp.org/jps_beta/ind...etails&id=46096


It includes re-recordings of some of their songs and a couple of new songs. The quality of production went way up for this release.


While pretty much everything they do is good, I also really recommend Love & Peace & Bou.


* oh, and here is their myspizzle http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fusea...iendID=31259797

QFT!



** And here is another video of Bakamoto Curry, because you just can't get enough of this song!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLgS_d1WZiQ

ahahahaha, oh man I need to meet these girls.

The plums song is really quality, instrumental and vocal both. My fav is Stupid Ex-Boyfriend, simply because the lead singer sounds cute as hell saying all those short phrases 'mou yada , unbakaaa' (sp? whatev!)

Very catchy stuff, and I like that a lot of their songs are really weird discordant shit. Is a good clash against the cutesy japanese female vocal

Yes, I think they coexist nicely with "Kokesh Doll", who is harder and heavier, but less musical.


TsuShiMaMiRe's bassist makes some nice rolling bass lines :)

I went to their website to see if any dates had been added to the list. I saw a Detroit date and was excited... then I noticed the list was from 2006 ><

Detroit always gets screwed lol ><

Looks like i'm driving to Cleveland or Chicago!

The listing has been updated for tour dates/venues in my first post*


Also, they've got some new photos up from a show they recently did in Japan:

http://viewmorepics.myspace.com/index.cfm?...albumId=2195579

I better work on getting my tickets!

So apparently I'm in charge of booking their Orlando stop.

:ph43r: B) :ph43r:

So apparently I booked Tsushimamire B) B) B)

You'd better book one of them a place to stay, too.


If you know what I mean.

>_>


Oh yeah you know what I mean.


<_<

just a tad disappointed. the 2 shows in the new york area are part of a special show. there are 4 maybe 5 bands on the bill. i was hoping it would be TsuShi and 1 other act (similar to go!go! last august) so that they would play a full set. now with so many bands on the bill they probably wont play more than a half hour :(

I don't know if someone would like that -ui- -ui- -ui-

The song Tea Time Ska was on that "Fresh Cuts From Japan" CD and it kicked ass.

I probably won't be able to go home to see them on the 30th (I'm coming home on October 3rd to see Buckethead), but maybe I'll take the train to NYC to see them on the 27th.

Medusa, is The Knitting Factory easy to get to from Penn Station?

yes, the knitting factory is close to the subway and getting around by subway is not difficult. if you are going to make it, let's make plans to hang either before or during the show.

So jealoussss ;_;

For sure. I still don't know if I'm going or not. But I'll let you know as soon as I figure it out.

Can't buy ticket online for the LA show... I guess I have to call and find out.

I enjoyed the show and I bought tons of stuff. I even took a picture with them and got them to sign 2 CDs...

The play at 11pm and I was there at 8pm. Too bad the venue isn't pack! Go see them!

Pics please =D

the game is ON!! cant wait til the end of the month, should be 2 great nights of music.

I'll post pictures of what they have. When I was there they have key chain. I told them I want 2 and they said they only have 1. I don't know if is 1 per show or they only have 1 in general... or they won't let me buy 2.

It will be crazy if I send you a picture of them with me in it, and then have you ask them to autographic...they will think I am the biggest fan! haha

I'll actually be back in Vermont when they're playing.

They still haven't announced the location, but as long as it's not a 21+ show, I'll definitely go.

sorry haven't have time to post what I bought yet.

But if I give you a photo of me and the girls... will you have them sign it for me. I think they will be very impress!!! haha.

did they change during the show or did they play 2 sets?? or are the pics from 2 different shows?

same show. they changed before they start the show.

They need to announce where they're playing in Burlington. >:o

Ah, never mind, they got it up. They're playing in some new place just outside of Burlington. Never heard of it before.

They don't have info about their show yet, but it looks like most of their shows are 21+....

They have one show that's 18+ so... here's keeping my fingers crossed.

i shoulda asked before. do you have a setlist or remember what they played?

yoi tenpo desu??
