Six – Tokyo Boogaloo

The three-piece band SIX is based on the music and fashion of the 60’s, but continues to perform in a genre-independent manner. In early 2000, the band formed in Tokyo, led by vocalist Chelio. In 2004, they released their first 7-inch single, and since then they have released three albums while energetically performing live mainly in Tokyo. In addition to the simple and wild sound that only a three-piece can produce, SIX has original songs that are somewhat pop. With this album “Tokyo Boogaloo” their grainy masterpieces are being reissued on vinyl! “Whiskey Rock” is their ignition to start up a live show, and “Breakaway” (Jackie DeShannon) is a cover song with a Japanese sense. Koha La Smart’s (Smart Soul Connection) raging harp bursts into “Dance With Bacchus Tonight” and “Tokyo Boogaloo” the title number, is a small ballad with a hint of Showa-era balladry. “Anemone Flower” starts with a punk approach, and “Witch Baby” is a surf instrumental; this album is a compilation of fantastic tunes from beginning to end! The trio selected the songs with the set list of their usual live performances in mind, so that you can almost feel like you are listening to a live performance. Please enjoy it at a loud volume!
