Zazen Boys play the Talking Head
Thursday, October 2nd, 9 p.m.
407 E. Saratoga St.
A Japanese band formed by former Number Girl guitarist and vocalist
Mukai Shutoku, the Zazen Boys' music blends complex rhythmic songs
reminiscent of math rock with extended improvisational songs. The
perfect follow up for fans of the High Zero Festival, the Zazen Boys
show will begin at 10 p.m., with doors at 9 p.m., on October 2nd. Two
Japanese camera crews from major networks will also be in tow that
night as part of a televised documentation of their overall tour.
Number Girl was one of the most influential indie rock bands in Japan,
accordingly Zazen Boys has a big following in Japan. Their newest
album (released 9.17.2008) with Dave Fridmann (Flaming Lips) was
recorded at Tarbox Road Studios in Cassadaga, NY.
This is the first time the Zazen Boys have ever played show in
America, so it's momentous occasion for the band and for Baltimore!
