thanx to those who made it out to MidTones Album Release Edition last night @ Grand Star. it was one of the greatest nights we’ve had at MidTones and of my lifetime.

for those who missed it or were unable to attend, the album is available for digital download at shinkawasaki.bandcamp.com or from the “music download” link at the top-right corner of the top page. or just click on any of the links here on this post, like the text you are reading right now – yes, this one, all of these. lol

check back here for I will slowly release outtakes and unreleased tracks that didn’t really fit the album but are equally good, and the ones that I performed live at the party and the past shows! hopefully I’ll do videos for some of these tracks (any filmmakers out there who want to take a shot at making videos/collaborating hollar at me!)

here are some quotes from the people who liked the album;

from ReviewPosse.com

“Completely original, with catchy hooks, crunchy guitar, retro keys, cool vocals and creative arrangements,  all while being  “way out there” gotta love it.”  Sylus Brown

“Complex pop/rock while being fun, an excellent original composition and experience, I want to see Shin” -Rob Ritter

“Instantly enjoyable fusion of different styles of pop and rock” – Stuart Messenger

from Sluggo @ KROQ

“I like it!  Great stuff!  The manic energy is infectious, I love the instrumentation and the sci fi bite.  I left it cranked the whole time – pretty rare for a first listen!”

from Marc Doten @ Double Naught Spy Car

“Lovin your CD, it’s sick groovin and honest all at once.”

Sweetwater The GearFest 2010 Song Contest

Posted: May 22nd, 2010 | Author: Shin Kawasaki | Filed under: Uncategorized | Tags: , , , , , , | 1 Comment »

a collaboration between Keiko Agena aka Christine Madeleine and myself “Take It Back” is in Sweetwater Presents: The GearFest 2010 Song Contest, and if you download this mp3 enough, we might win about 2G worth of equipment, and believe me, I NEED THEM. it’s a cool track written by her back in the day and I took it to the next level like I always (try to) do, and I’m sure you’ll enjoy it. DOWNLOAD, IT’S FREE.

there’s also a short clip of this song performed live back in April. when the album comes out later in June we’ll probably be out playing more, check back.
