misterdale Posted March 14, 2006 Report Share Posted March 14, 2006 Tune Up presents: Bill Wells, Maher Shalal Hash Baz, Tenniscoats: Kama Aina , Kazumi NikaidohSunday 16th AprilThe Lemon TreeTickets 9 (6 concessions & Regulars)Doors Open: 7.30pmShow Starts: 8pmFalkirk's Bill Wells - who has worked with everyone from Arab Strap to Bobby Wellins - presents a package tour comprising four of Japans most original and inventive contemporary acts.Maher Shalal Hash Baz (Be Quick If You Steal Something) is the main vehicle for Japan's 'King Of Error' Tori Kudo whose musical history stretches back to the late 70's. Their music is based on spontaneity, melody and experimentation, with an ever changing line-up that favours untrained musicians.Saya and Ueno, former members of Maher Shalal Hash Baz, are the nucleus of the band Tenniscoats, renowned as one of the most engaging live bands in Japan, their performances impossible to predict in terms of instrumentation and material.Kama Aima (Island Man) is the solo project of multi-instrumentalist Takuji Aoyagi whose most recent release, Two Fingers, is so-called since all the pieces featured on it can be played with just two fingers.Kazumi Nikaidoh is one of the most unconventional performers to emerge in recent years, a singer-songwriter who accompanies herself on guitar combining passages of pure improvisation with haunting original melodies.The evening will also feature a collaborative set between Bill Wells and the above musicians.http://www.lemontree.org/Music/event.cfm?eventid=2780&tempmonth=4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goatboy Posted April 19, 2006 Report Share Posted April 19, 2006 I can only agree, it was truly something special. I could have spent so much more at the CD stand.I was blown away by Kazumi Nikaidoh - that's some vocal technique she has there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
