Fujiya & Miyagi Light-up Chicago

FujiyaMiyagi.jpgThe first time I saw Fujiya & Miyagi in concert, I almost thought they were joking with their funky krautrock shtick, but the gig didn't stop and I actually started digging it. You've probably heard the heavy baseline from their song, Collarbone, in that Miller Light "Beer Heaven" commercial. Their third album, Lightbulbs, was released in September and is a continuation of the same groovy tracks from 2006's Transparent Things. Fujiya & Miyagi make another stop in Chicago on Thursday, February 12 at Bottom Lounge (1375 W. Lake). Brooklyn trio School of Seven Bells will also play. Show starts at 9pm. Tickets are on sale now for $16 ($18 day of show). 18 & up.

"The stuff I like sounds like life or death," she reasons. And this coming from a woman with a picture of Jimi Hendrix taped to her cello case like he's a saint.
