Tokyo rock'n'roll band Magic, Drums & Love is releasing a brand new single! The title track "Ke Ola Jive" is a brand new song with doo-wap-like layered vocals, with a Hawaiian touch of ukulele and steel guitar. It is produced by Gakuji "Chabe" Matsuda (of Learners, Neil and Iraiza, Cubismo Grafico). The B-side is a remix by Dorian of the song "Tohhou Magic" (of which the original was released on 7" last year).
This release follows previous single "Keep Romance Alive".
A release party will be held on September 23 from 11:30 a.m. at Basement Bar in Shimokitazawa, also featuring Nihao!!!! and DJs Riyo Mountains and Clark Naitō. Find details and tickets here, and the band's full upcoming schedule on their official site.
