Japanese Indies - Overseas Tour Dates!







Marble Sheep was founded in 1987 by Ken Matsutani, the ringleader of Captain Trip Records.

The band started its musical activity under the name of "Marble Sheep & the Run-down Sun's Children". Marble Sheep passed through many styles of psychedelic jam like Minimal Music, Heavy Rock and Grateful Dead Sound, and after several years was born again as "Marble Sheep." Along wth the name change, the band's sound developed into Space Punk Rock, focusing on the concepts of "Chaos & Paradise" -- like "Yin & Yang," the oriental concept of black and white -- which govern the universe.

The drums and bass form a heavy booming roar below the two guitar players who spread Psychedelic Seeds all over the world in addition to "Marby" -- -a sheep girl-who reigns as "Queen of Psychedelic Paradise."

Marble Sheep describe themselves as "Merry Pranksters of the 21st Century."

Swinging Popsicle to perform at New York Anime festival!



Info at:
http://www.superglorious.com
http://www.mediumatlarge.net/2009/08/far-east-to-east-showcast-at-nyaf.html


Last year, the New York Anime Festival and our friends Karaterice launched the Far East To East Showcase at The Knitting Factory. It was a celebration of indie, punk, rock, and pop both from Japan and NYC. This year, NYAF and Karaterice -- now with the super name Superglorious -- are bringing FETES back, and bringing it into the iconic Webster Hall.

From Japan, FETES hosts Kokusyoku Sumire and Swinging Popsicle, and from NYC, FETES features Echostream and Gelatine. (Bios are available at nyanimefestival.com.) Tickets are $10 in advance and $15 the day of the show and available now at www.ticketweb.com and www.websterhall.com. The doors open at 5:30 PM, and the show starts at 6:30 PM on September 27. FETES is open to audiences of all ages.

Kokusyoku Sumire, Swinging Popsicle, Echostream, and Gelatine are four amazing bands -- bands selected not because of their involvement in anime, but selected because of the intensity and integrity music.

For more on the Far East To East Showcase, Superglorious will hold a FETES Press Panel on Saturday, September 26 at the New York Anime Festival. Superglorious will also maintain a booth at NYAF all weekend long where various FETES artists will appear.
