Photos by G. David Best of Fujiya and Miyagi On January 21, 2012, British electronic band Fujiyaand Miyagi played a sold out show at New York's Mercury Lounge. If you are unfamiliar with the music of Fujiyaand Miyagi, here's a brief primer: the band gets their name from a brand of record player as well as a character in the film "The Karate Kid." They've been around since the early 2000s and their music features playful lyrics over delicious electronic grooves. Their songs are all [...]]]> text/html 2012-01-13T14:05:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/3986388/hear-fujiya-miyagi-golden-filter-cover-new-order/
The latest issue of Mojo comes with a CD of various different bands covering songs from New Order's beyond-awesome 1983 New Order album Power, Corruption & Lies , as well as the singles from that era of the band's evolution. We've already posted Destroyer's version of "Leave Me Alone," and now we've got two more. Click below to hear Fujiya & Miyagi's faithful take on " Your Silent Face ." And head over here to stream the Golden Filter's spacey cover of " Age Of Consent ."

Destroyer Leave Me Alone (New Order cover) Mojo Magazine is releasing a special album with this months issue, a covers compilation of New Orders classic Power, Corruption and Lies which features contributions from The Golden Filter, Walls, Fujiya and Miyagi, Biosphere and more (quite the diverse bunch!). But my favorite of this collectionwhich also includes covers of the B-sides accompanying the albumis Destroyers tight and propulsive take on Leave Me Alone.

Live This Month: January 2012 (Podcast #268) In Live This Month , we sample some of the great local and out-of-town bands performing in the coming month in the San Francisco Bay Area. If the beginning of January feels a little slim on the live music front, things should ramp back up into the usual overwhelming number of interesting shows by the month's end. Several young local bands recently came onto our radar - including Churches, Poor Sons, and Primitive Hearts - and they're all partaking in locals-heavy bills in the next [...]]]> text/html 2011-12-13T19:23:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/3927279/fujiya-miyagi-ecstatic-dancer/
Earlier this year, Fujiya & Miyagi released their fourth album Ventriloquizzing with Yep Roc Records . Now, these British men have a brand new single that may arouse your senses. Scandalously named "Ecstatic Dancer", this track has an upbeat tempo to keep your body going while getting seduced by the commands of David Best (Singer/Whisperer). "Ecstatic Dancer" is as steamy as a Russian bath house. To begin 2012, Fujiya & Miyagi are starting a U.S. tour from January 19th to February 1st.

Though Fujiya and Miyagi 's name still confuses the heck out of us, we've got to admit that they've still got an appealing style. The British boys be returning to the states next year, and it will start off right here in New York City when the band plays Glasslands in Brooklyn on January 19. It all wraps up on February 1 in Los Angeles. The full schedule for the act is below.

Kyle Dean Reinford If you listen to Hospitality , the debut album from the band also called Hospitality , you may quickly find yourself in a game of "where are they from?" based on singer Amber Papini's accent and entries of any and all of the UK, Scandinavia or Australia/New Zealand would be perfectly reasonable. After all, the outfit's idiosyncratic yet hooky pop style would fit quite easily in the musical traditions of any of the above. The truth of it, however, is far less foreign; they're from [...]]]> text/html 2011-09-12T00:17:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/3714492/monday-ep-pujol-forest-fire-pree-fionn-regan-fujiya-and/

Wow. Another mind-bending milestone in the TBE saga. 1000 is a big number but in the grandschemeof things it will only be the tip of the iceberg. Running this site for the past 28 months has been an honor and privilege and we all look forward to dropping more sweet jams for a long time to come. For now lets celebrate with a little mixtape I put together below. There is a theme in there somewhere... There are some potential changes to the site underway but until I get a breather from work I won't be [...]]]>
