We’re taking a trip over to Nagoya on May 20th to play at Nagoya Walkathon. The Walkathon is an international charity event that’s been going since 1991. Last year over 3500 people attended and helped to raise 12.7 million yen for orphanages and local charities. Super excited to be part of it. If you fancy a stroll in the spring sunshine, then come along – but you won’t be needing your headphones!

Japanzine has just released its Bands of Japan magazine as a free digital download from the iTunes store, and we are lucky enough to be part of it! The feature takes a look at 10 hand-picked indie acts who are defining the new music scene in Japan, and includes bios, photography, videos, music and critiques of each band. We say check it out! It’s free after all..

Here’s a screen shot. (If only one of us had an iPad!)

Received some lovely airplay on the Jim Gellatly show on Amazing Radio at the weekend. Jim’s helped break some well-known acts in the UK, including KT Tunstall and The Fratellis. He’s also known as the Scottish John Peel, so we’re pretty chuffed! Cheers Jim! You can listen to the show here. We’re on at the 1:41:00 mark. Yay!

Another Saturday night in Shibuya. Bring your hanami parties to the Ruby Room!
