Japan and I

JAPAN AND I WILL TAKE OVER THE WORLD!

About Me


Once upon a time in a small village far far away called Glenferness, tucked away in pleasant hills of sunshine and daisies, 3 musicians gathered for tea in the shadows of the Leeukop correctional facilities. Due to the awkward silence they decided an embrace of noise was necessary, so they abandoned their tea and retired to the old maid's quarters only to be greeted by the sweet scent of dead rats and smoky pap... Thus the band room was born.
Dee Dee's soopa bass skills combined with Angie's incredible finger agility and soulful vox and Mandy's jungle beats ushered in an ultimate listening experience that would change the lives of these 3 music musketeers (and the hearts of those they would care-bear-stare with their delightful tunes) forever!...
'Yippee' they thought to themselves as it dawned on them that this was to be their quest and the beginning of a blossoming adventure.
Baby JAPAN AND I was thus conceived and due to a ridiculous strain of agility, melody and genetics has grown into an accomplished band consisting of the finest young lasses in music today!
(Remember the relationship is paramount... Please pass the milk.)

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 6/24/2006
Band Website: No official website (yet)
Band Members: MANDY - She plays the drums and does other cool people stuff!

ANGIE
- She sings, she belts, she plays a mean guitar, and makes an awesome apple pie!

DEE DEE
- ....well we dont really know what shes does. she makes a good teapot though, and follows simple commands... and plays bass:)

Influences: rainbows / yellow brick roads / today / awkward silences / band practice on an empty stomach / HIV/AIDS / cups of tea / uncontrollable bladders / Greek weddings (opa! with a crashing of plates) / the look on the faces of unhappy children from whom we have stolen candy / Japan / chocolate nesquick / messy handwriting / cartwheels in small spaces / ignoring poverty and the influences on today's corporate society / the unsuccessful efforts of seduction / stupidity of humanity / being broke / Kyle / lesbian pregnancies / the royal family / cheese rolls / construction / japanties / circular motion of random events / uncomfortable family events / the hazards of defensive driving (damn you k53) / the comforts of Fontana's tables and public restrooms / the Pigs
Sounds Like: Well you can decide for yourself! Just come to one of the many joyous and numerous gigs (check out upcoming shows in this 'ere 'Space)
..... "An all girl trio that brings style and grace to the Jo'burg punk scene with plenty of hooks and sass to boot! A soulful doowopped approach to the punk/pop genre that we can only try and liken to a bit of The Pipettes perhaps? But with a delivery closer in proximity to currently hyped (and well deserved) indie-punk/pop darlings Be Your Own Pet, but with more of an "oi!"..." - THE HEADPHONE JUNKIE
Record Label: Red Ambulance records
Type of Label: Indie
