The 88th WHIT podcast

Last night I had the great fortune to see the Darryl Beaton Band at a small "live house" - Planet K in Kichijoji. And unbelievably, the cover was only 2000 yen.

Click on the picture to see more of the show at Planet K

This Australian band blew my mind. Definitely one of the hottest bands I've ever seen.

Check this band out while you can still get up close because I got the feeling that the next time they come to Tokyo, you'll be sitting in the back of the Budokan, or paying 20,000 yen at the Blue Note.
