Love Psychedelico
Love Psychedelico played live today in San Francisco's Apple store, and I was there to enjoy the show. They played 4 songs in front of a tight crowd and succumbed to the applause to play a final 5th song before leaving. They were there to spread awareness of the launch of their first album in the USA.
I met up with them again later that same day in Japantown at the Kinokuniya book store.From their website:
LOVE PSYCHEDELICO TO PERFORM IN SAN FRANCISCO
Japanese indie-rock band Love Psychedelico will meet fans and sign CDs at Kinokuniya Bookstore on Saturday, May 17th, 2008.
The band's trip to San Francisco is in celebration of the release of This Is Love Psychedelico, out on HackTone Records on May 20th. The album is a mix of songs hand-selected by Delico's Kumi and Naoki, as well as the team at HackTone Records, to introduce a new audience to the band's music, influenced by 70's classic rock and the British Invasion. All of the tracks are completely re-mastered, and the band feels this is the best they've ever sounded!
They had a limited supply of 100 CDs available and fortunately I got in line early enough to snag one of them. I spoke briefly with Naoki (guitar/keyboard) and Kumi (vocal/guitar) congratulating them on their launch and wishing them success.
Unfortunately I always feel a bit like I'm wasting their time when I speak with these musical artists. After all the only message they probably hear is "blah blah, I like your music". I don't have anything else worthwhile to say to them to really express how I appreciate their music, or at least I don't believe that they would really bother to try to understand my opinion. It's not like I'm a music expert or critic.

The music on their MySpace is great.
Damn I couldn't find them on MySpace, I thought they must have closed their account there or something.
Well, off to watch Indiana Jones - The Last Crusade... preparation for the NEW movie coming this week!!!
Their MySpace is:

ah, lucky man.
Did I ever tell you that I love Love Psych? Ever since you gave me their album, I've listened to it nonstop, even learning to play California.
The singer sounds sexy. Is she?
Also, did you watch the new Indy?
Will it hurt your feelings to hear my opinions?
Well she wasn't sexy in the Playboy sense, but she was very cool.
Glad you enjoyed it - you can get their new album on iTunes - and I did go on there to get the iTunes-only 13th track.
Also I did watch the new Indy, and tried to comment on your review - but then the site died.
I really enjoyed the movie, I didn't let the CGI animals ruin it for me. Even the Aliens... I just decided to accept that Indy can get into ANY kind of adventure.
I don't understand how you enjoyed the Indiana Jones movie. Can you write a post on exactly what you liked? In detail?
Were you high? That would make it marginally better, I suppose. CGI ants? Fist fights with huge Russian soldiers?
