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.
