If you did read my last entry then you’d know I emailed Teeny Frahoop, one of my favorite Japanese female punk bands, in request for lyrics to their song “Ride the Rockin’ rocket” as well as permission to perform it.
I cannot find lots of information about Teeny Frahoop. Almost all the information I could find on them was from this blog post written in 2004: http://japanlive.blogspot.com/2005/01/what-happened-to-teeny-frahoop.html
That entry was the first thing that popped up when I Googled Teeny Frahoop a few weeks ago, so that I could learn more about the band I’d been listening to for a while. And finding that blog is what inspired me to make my own, actually. Reading about Ken M’s favorite Japanese indie bands and attending performances in the scene made me a bit jealous of I’m being honest… In the US of course, lots of bands and performers I like don’t come near me. That’s not to say I don’t enjoy the concerts that are held in my town. I try to listen to lots of local bands within my area. (Ever heard of I Before E? CHECK THEM OUT! They rock!!)
(Ken M, I wonder where you are today. Thanks for inspiring me with your blog and thanks for all the information you provided for me when researching Japanese indie music. It’s a great gift left for me on the web and I appreciate it!!)
