SXSW 2006: Polysics, WTF?
Looks like three more Japanese bands have been added to the SXSW 2006 schedule:
- Hologram
- Polysics
- Umekichi
No, I don’t like Polysics either. I will concede they are an incredible live band. I just can’t stand their music.
The complete list, at this point:
- Afrirampo
- Caroline
- Dir en grey
- DMBQ
- Ellegarden
- The Emeralds
- eX-Girl
- Gitogito Hustler
- Hologram
- Limited Express (has gone?)
- Luminous Orange
- My Way My Love
- Masahiro Nitta
- Noahlewis’ Mahlon Taits
- PE’Z
- Polysics
- The Rodeo Carburettor
- Kunimoto Takeharu
- Tsu Shi Ma Mi Re
- Umekichi
- Toru Yonaha
After some Google-ing, it looks like there’s going to be tsugaru shamisen showcase with Masahiro Nitta and Toru Yonaha. That would be interesting to see at a pre-dominantly rock music festival.
