Thanks to Blair, a member of the band ANIMAL DADS, for being the first to write in and let me know about some gigs to add to the schedule. Much appreciated. Apparently he and his bandmates put together that Saturday night show at Freebird, trying to present bands that are “relatively new and sound a bit different.” If you want more information about those bands, check out:
Kitsune
Animal Dads
Mechanical Seals
Thanks to Indieful ROK for pointing out that Baik Hyun-jhin is about to release his first solo album in March. Baik is the main guy behind UH UH BOO PROJECT BAND, one of the more interesting Korean indie bands of the late 1990s. Their mini-album SONIKBUNKIJEOM (Break Even Point?) is generally considered a classic, with its miserable ajeossi/Tom Waits vibe (although Baik dislikes being compared to Waits, I think there are obvious reasons people do so). But for my money, the best UH UH BOO song was “Eohang Sok-ui Dabang - Gaejugeum,” from their second album, DOG, LUCKY STAR.
Bjork was a lot of fun, btw. Thank you.
