Another Fujiya & Miyagi Live Review :O

POP-TASTIC!

Sorry for the delay my public :)

After accompanying the hallowed Sonic C to the Fugiya and Miyagi gig in Cyprus Avenue and propostum he promising that I would comment here it goes:

I'm surprised these guys have not had more chart success and recognition. Their sound is a very cool melting pot of, like one of those chain coffee house blends, -java/sumatra/kenya, that sings to a sweet tune on the lips and ears .

Mika/Chemical Brothers/Radiohead..like the coffee surprisingly the hap-hash mix works, and gives you that buzz fix.

Best's unique vocals while at first are enthralling bring a homogeneity to all songs after a while. Quirky songs like Knickerbocker and Fujiya and Miyagi are definite strong points.

I think thats all for now. Hope you enjoyed part one of my FTCZ invasion.

Fujiya and Miyagi from last week

Hey peeps,

Heres some sufficiently blurry pics from Fujiya & Miyagi at Cyprus Avenue last Friday. It was a good experience overall (Lessons were learnt - lots of lights means heat). Their set was pretty new-music heavy with the inclusion of a couple of tracks thrown in from their far better first album 'Transparent Things'. The set was about five songs too long, but it was the week of the new album's release, so they might have been a little overexcited.

They weren't as engaging live as i'd hoped. There was no force-fed banter and the bassist clearly disapproved of my colourful t-shirt.

Also, a shout out to the support act 'Project Jenny Project Jan'. They were interesting at the very least. Also an old couple gave us free PJPJ badges so i guess they're ok by us here at FTC (first usage of that acronym - remember this moment).

Heres the blurry pics as promised...
