this JPN boy is excited to receive an email saying that my album “Shin Kawasaki” is
one of 4 nominees for Independent Music Awards Album/Eclectic category! this is where Los Desnudos was nominated back in ’07, maybe I have that “Independent sensibility” 
and I am THE ONLY UNSIGNED NOMINEE for this category, so they should might as well give it to me, don’t ya think?
anyhoo it is cool that it got the recognition, and if you think it’s cool that I might get a trophy or something for it, YOU CAN VOTE on the widget you see on the left, or ON THIS PAGE (you do have to “register” = give them your email, but it’s for your boy!) when and if I win I promise to throw a party.
“Shin Kawasaki” Nominated for Independent Music Awards
Flying Platforms @ The Mint, March 10th (THU)
as an Earthling host to the Madeleines, Flying Platforms from time to time has to engage in what some might consider dangerous activities – dealing with nuclear waste and clearing the meteorites out of the Madeleines’ flight paths and so forth. and unfortunately, in one such mission, our beloved percussionist extraordinaire Christopher Spilsbury got involved in a horrible accident which cost him a right eye. (we will have a benefit concert for him, the detail on that will come in soon ) since then he has been recovering and we took a hiatus. however, Spilsbury claims it’s high time that the Platforms fly again.
the good people at Rooftop Revolutionary have set up a great comeback for us that showcases “LA’s Best at the Mint.” we go on at 11pm and tickets are available on their website for $10 (+ service charge) we suggest that you take advantage of this due to limited seating, AND you’ll get a free physical copy of Shin Kawasaki album. if you’re afraid of that kind of commitment, you can RSVP on the Facebook event page while procrastinating – the Madeleines still love you.
