Despite everything, we live in great times musically. Wherever you are, with a few clicks of the mouse you can access more songs than you could ever listen to, past and present. And so it can happen that three young Japanese guys are influenced by rockabilly, oldies, psychobilly, country music and Japanese pop from the 70’s / 80’s. Manhattan Jamborees – Ryo Kato (guitar / vocals), Keisuke Yamada (bass / vocals), and Hikaru Abe (drums / vocals) – just released their first (self-titled) EP, with five songs in the tradition of Stray Cats, Reverend Horton Heat, Roy Buchanan , Eddie Cochran, Gene Vincent, Buddy Holly, Stevie Ray Vaughan, and Kenji Sawada. I don’t speak Japanese, so no idea what they sing about (except some words in the third song ;-)), but I can feel the music and the enthusiasm. And now you can enjoy it too. What a great time it is.
