| | Putchfork front page contains three articles related to Asia!
1. China Imposes Performer Bans After Bjork Outburst
The obligatory critical article about China. Upon read,
you will find it to be vague and pompous.
2. Karen O Debuts New Side Project With Silly Name
The band is called The Native Korean Rock & The
Fishnets. Putchfork references it as a silly name.
Meanwhile Clap Your Cheeks And Say Yeah and Royskippy,
have become household names at Putchfork.
There is a link to The Native Korean Rock's myspice.
There are four streaming tracks, and photos of topless (Korean?) divers.
3. Guest List: Ponytail
Ponytail is a fore running band from the thriving Baltimore music scene, featuring
guitarist, Dustin Wong. Dustin Wong is also a member of the guitar duo group, Ecstatic Sunshine, and has worked alongside relatively famous Dan Deacon. Wong answers questions about his pop culture tastes, and says he once had a good time in Japan. Wong's face in the band photo featured on Putchfork's main page is the most obscured.
Note: There's an Asian guy in Icy Demons. I believe he plays some instrument and sings back up vocals, according to a live footage I vaguely recall. He's even featured in their band promo photos. Icy Demons will be performing at the Putchfork Music Festival this week end. Putchfork chose not to acknowledge his name but did so for the other members.
And why haven't Shugo Tokumaru's new band, The Gellers, become huge, yet alone be mentioned on the influencial to mass music opinion, Putchfork? They blow away most of the other bands out there right now. Check them out. http://www.myspace.com/gellers
