Tokyo's Coolest Sound

Wack Wack Rhythm Band has two new releases coming on June 10! A new 7", of two songs from latest album "The 'Now' Sounds", and an "official bootleg" cassette tape.

This 7" happened thanks to a request from Konishi Yasuharu, who said he wanted that Martin Denny cover of "Something Latin" on 7"! The A-side is the excellent original song "Flyaway on Friday", of which the music was written by trumpeter Kunimi Tomoko.

The cassette tape contains 11 live recordings from shows of the last 8 years or so. One of the songs features Oyamada Keigo (Cornelius), and two with ex-vocalist Lemon. The whole was mastered by Kanda Tomoki (Crue-L Records). The cassette is limited to 200 copies and comes with a download code, and profits are given to new live venue Live Haus in Shimokitazawa, where their album release party was planned to be held but got canceled, and to the rehearsal studio they had planned to use, Andy's Studio.

These two were actually sold in advance on WWRB's own online shop which does take international orders (the about page instructs to email first regarding postage).
