Electric Bon Odori
Isaku is also doing this concert at Aoyama Mandala TUE Nov. 11, 2008,
with Chris Young on guitar, and Pat Glynn on bass.
Isaku is promising “a psychedelic roller-coaster ride.”
Unlike a lot of taiko, the Amanojaku sound is Tokyo _ very “iki,” funky and urban.
And so in essence it should fit rock and roll to paint a cosmopolitan cityscape of electric taiko.
20:00 (Doors open at 19:00)
3,000 yen admission.
