Tokyo's Coolest Sound

Lengendary neo-mods/psychedelic rock band Hair's leader Ai Satteaux's Aquarius label is starting a series of "one coin CD-R singles", at the nice price of ¥500 each! They relate the concept to 80's punk sonosheets. I've been very pleased with Aquarius' two first releases (EPs by bands New Castle and Charney ), so I'll surely be collecting these.

The first release is of Tokyo neo-mods scene singer Peter Acco (female, don't let the name confuse you) with debut single "Monday Morning". The title song is written by Ai Satteaux, and for B-side is a cover of High Style's "London In The Mist", of which the 1987 original recently appeared on the "Mods Mayday 25th Anniversary Compilation".
Peter Acco's band features Ai Satteaux on guitar, Suzuki Yasushi (The Tramp) on drums, and Nakamura Shinsuke (New Castle) on bass.

Two more releases of this series are planned a bit later in December and also in mid-January.
