"LOTUS" the Recommend Music Review

I introduce recommended music though it is quite unrelated to poptoonstudio.







Lock from the country and the bluegrass, and to the blues or techno and the electronica. There is no genre, and it is and all music are swallowed and progressed freely. In the expression of LIVE, it keeps also pursuing the unlimited potential also even of where, and it evolving always. "LOTUS" is five person group that gathers by the companion in Indiana state Goshen College in 1999, forms, and acts based on Philadelphia in 2002. The sounds of men who call oneself < organic ambient transformer funk > feel a large influence of funk, jazz, and world music and human warmths while taking the electronic style of techno and the house. Substantial 1st album 'Germination' that had been released in 03 collected footlights, and established the evaluation completely as a band that represented the scene named electronica/livetronica by 2nd that had become a continuing first studio board 'Nomad' also in Japan to say nothing of the United States.
The evaluation by live is especially high, and large-scale outdoors Fes . Sold-out comes out one after another in live that still digests 100 or more a year now in various places from all over the U.S. after it forms of beginning. A lot of fans make them get excited, and are still new in the memory on the first visit to Japan of 05 years and the reappearance day of 06 years the continuing next day in an overwhelming performance also in Japan as for suppressing the big success.
2 piece set LIVE board 'Escaping Sargasso Sea' of compiled angry waves is announced in 'Strength of Weak Ties' and 2007 in the 2006. And, original album 'Hammerstrike' of the fifth work is released in 2008, and an agreeable ambient sense announces the sound that evolved more powerfully pushing the dynamism of the live performance out as it is forward. A wide approach was, and proved posture in which it was not content with the same place to be those who pulled it, and top runner of the scene in the meaning of the truth about the scale or more feeling.

JERICHO BUNCH Album Artwork

Poptoonstudio handled the album artwork of three piece band "JERICHO BUNCH" of wood base ERI with the Inoue brother. This is famous psychobilly indie band in Kitakyushu, Fukuoka, Japan. The name of "JERICHO BUNCH" out on sale album. Psychobilly is a musical genre that contains the PUNK element by the rockabilly in the 1950's, develops, and was born in the 1980's.

BIG FROG Kyushu Tour Poster

BIG FROG was JAM band that represented Japan. The design of this flier and the poster is the one before BIG FROG dissolves to Kyushu when coming to a live tour. BIG FROG at that time sold clothes etc. of the hemp material by live opening the doors with apparel brand THC(Tokyo Hemp Connection).

The BIG FROG robot is controlled by the guitar, the drum, and the song. They came from Tokyo from the missile and the attack to Kyushu defense from the terrorist state. The centere side of the cockpit is equipped with the speaker of 5000W by the stereo, and a jammin' groovy sound wraps Kyushu.
The BIG FROG robot is a mechanism (crimsoning of eyes when the missile is smoked, the flows of the liquid that contains the bufotenine from the back of eyes, and going out).
It became it so when aiming at a psychedelic poster like Wes Wilson. TIPI was put up in a live place in Kyushu various places (Fukuoka, Aso, and Kagoshima).
