Stop fronting, and put FoodForAnimal’s “BELLY” on your top-ten list for 2008!

JAPAN
We’re home from Japan.
It was definitely a good first trip for FoodForAnimals. We’ll be back for sure.
We played with so many good bands (like four or five a night), so many different styles: musicians from the US and EU are going to have to step it up.
Just a few of our favorites:
Origami – Spiritual sing-rap of a distinctively Japanese flavor
Conga Fury – Relentless crusty HC/Punk/D-Beat
Space Grinder – Self-destructive powernoise freakout
Boss of Naked – Spacey MPC trip-hop; love it because its so ugly.Also shout-out to Japanese Noise Project: the (soon to be) definitive documentary on Japanoise.
RIP

Folk hero Dock Ellis has died.
