Zoon Van Snook is the alias of Bristol, UK’s Weirdsmith Alec Snook. Following keyboard and sampling duty for numerous experimental-indie bands in the south west of England (which included nationwide touring, festivals and support for such acts as: I Am Kloot, Skunk Anansie and BBC Radio 1’s Zane Lowe), the debut Zoon Van Snook 12” EP was released on the acclaimed Brighton label Cookshop at the end of 2008. This garnered radio support from BBC’s Rob Da Bank + Tom Robinson and lead to his debut hour mix for Ninja Tune’s inimitable Solid Steel. Since then, his [...]

Brighton's Fujiya & Miyagi return to Ireland this weekend for shows at The Village in Dublin (Friday) and Black Box in Belfast (Saturday), both in support of their fourth album Ventriloquizzing . The band's David Best undertakes the State quizzing. Who are you and where are you from? My name is David Best from the group Fujiya & Miyagi and I was born in Leamington Spa in Warwickshire. Who are your favourite artists from your hometown? I think the Swell Maps [...]
It's been a long time coming but it's finally here. LMDM is back and the beloved mixtape is as my greatest inspiration would put it, insanely great. Per usual Steph captures a multitude of feelings, emotions and styles sure to keep the worst of music skimmers engaged and entertained. All the selections come together to portray a sort melancholic hope that instigates both thoughts of lost loves and desired passions. Great art always explores both coast, it always makes you think of the sad while inspiring the beautiful. LMDM is great art to me and throughout this unique combination of February & [...]

British band Fujiya & Miyagi played The Independent on Monday night with support from San Francisco's The Frail.
It's often said that the perfect remedy for a brisk and dull Tuesday night is a dance party. Who often says this? I don't know. People way cooler than I am. Last Tuesday was unbearably cold and considerably dull, so I decided to heed to the advice of the cool and attend a dance party. A four piece act who recently released their forth album Ventriloquizzing , Brighton band Fuijiya and Miyagi would be our sheppards for the evening. Dirty bass lines pared with David Best's breathy Robert Del Naja-ish voice are the driving [...]
Perhaps we should start by discussing a few time-honoured cliches, such as " you can't teach an old dog new tricks ", or " if at first you don't succeed ", or " a rose by any other name ", as this quartet from Denmark used to make up half of an older group, Le Fiasko . However, this new reformation has released a set of rather masterful tunes, making their previous incarnation seem something more akin to a prelude to the new, improved outfit. We don't have anything against their previous incarnation, but listen to this new set [...]
The brain of Dakin Hardwick, our managing editor, looks like this right now: Sketchfest, Sketchfest, Sketchfest. So when he sat down to write our weekly guide to Bay Area Concerts, he just wrote "Sketchfest" next to everything. Now, I'm going to deny that you should be going to lots of Sketchfest events (and then reading [...]
@showsketcher caught all the action last week when the beloved Fujiya & Miyagi lit up Glasslands with a little help from Zambri and Rarechild.
Dessa, one of the Doomtree crew photo by Alex Crick We've finally dug out of the snow here in the Northwest, just in time for a few noteworthy shows this week. The star of the week has got to be Wednesday night, when Wu-Tang Clan hits the stage at the Showbox with guests Black Knights, Reverend Burke, and Champagne Champagne . Ambulance plays at the Comet Tavern with The West and Us On Roofs , and you can hear the twangy sounds of Jessie Baylin with The Watson [...]
We here at the Panic Manual have been fans of Brighton act Fujiya and Miyagi for awhile now and I actually reviewed their 2008 release Lightbulbs . They took a bit of a hiatus shortly after that album but returned in full force with the release of Ventriloquizzing last year. One year after the release of that album, they will be taking their light and dance show to the Wrongbar on Tuesday night. If you ever feel like dancing during the week, this will be a good time. Local buzz band Volcano Playground will be [...]
