Asobi Seksu
Asobi seksu was in town yesterday, playing at Chatterbox. Being both a total indie junkie, Michelle and I went to check them out and they weren’t disappointing. Ok, they blew me away. Far away. But the microphone tuning could had been better though - it was just too weak for this type of bar setting. Anyway, the performance was amazing. We had a wonderful time and found ourselves asking for more.
Asobi Seksu is a Brooklyn indie band made up of 4 Caucasian guys and a US-born Japanese girl (lead singer). Their sound is joyful, ages well and Yuki is coldly cute(if there’s ever such a thing). :*) There were some really nice heavy jamming tunes that just sort of washed everything away. The bass player was silky and all the other members seemed to be enjoying themselves (1st rule of starting a band). They could have been more responsive towards the crowd, though. Not that it’s a big deal or anything but at one point Yuki sounded like my Mac G5 voice over machine:
Crowd: I love you
Yuki: I love you too
Crowd: You’re awesome
Yuki: No, you all are awesome
-_-|||
Nevertheless, I love them. If you like Camera Obscura, Do As Infinity or even Cranberries you should definitely check them out. Click here for some free tunes.
