New Rock Syndicate
Saturday, May 23rd, 2009Kawaguchi Masami’s New Rock Syndicate played The Smell in downtown Los Angeles on May 11. The band from Tokyo has a varied and eclectic sound that ranges from crooning and melodic to acid jazz and noise. You can check it out on their MySpace page. I spoke with the lead vocalist before their set, and I asked him to compare the indie music scene in Japan to the one in the United States. Video with interview below:
