CAUCUS

to gather, is happiness

About Me

a small japanese band for you to know...
CAUCUS is just all about the scenes in our quiet lifetime that expires in a second, that is a very happy pragma of our life to be TRUE. and if you just find out this life is all made to be destined to end up in happiness, given to be enlightened, it would be luckier. it's that simple. there is nothing more to say. you are free, if you want to be. ACT. with your owen knowledge. please. all of you there, listened us incidentally, is all magic or "destiny" (double quote). heh, it's that simple. we just want you to KNOW. troublesome nights are there for your happiness. cry for yourself, and it would be luckier.
we just finished our recordings on our first EP from the Peregrine Records. we are very happy to anounce that the first producer of our band is KRAMER , who we respect alot. he was a great producer for us. Thank you, Kramer!
though it was our first time recording in a recording studio, he was very gentle and kind to us. And we all done it great. afterwards we found out, and it seems like that we are the first Japanese band to be produced by KRAMER... wow! we love his music, and we love him as a friend alot.
A preview from the ep is SING. We are proud of it. We all did a great work... CAUCUS is looking for record label both in and out of Japan who are interested in releasing our full-length album to be done in 2007-2008 agian with KRAMER.
If anyone who has interest, please mail us to [email protected] . yea, we don't know much about music scenes outside of japan. Thank you Ernest (UK), and Kristoffer (Sweden), love to see you and play with you again at shibuya.
Love,
CAUCUS
