Nylon

• Nylon    Their official website. In Japanese.

Well...how cool is that? Refusing to say uncle because they can't find a new drummer, Meg is going to pick up the sticks and Nylon plan to re-emerge as a trio. Go for it, girls!
Nylon are a damned fine rock band; fast, noisy and exciting. Meg roars out the vocals and Shimano sometimes finds time while playing (punishing? beating the snot out of?) her battered old Telecaster to throw in an accompanying scream or two. Shiho is cool as on bass.
Their most recent album, "It's Alright!" (Time Bomb Records, BOMBCD-85) features a former drummer, Masao.

• June 10th 2007 at Kyoto Metro    Jimi took the photos and he's done a good job of catching some of the energy of a Nylon show although unfortunately none of the ones of Shimano's crowd-surfing and more extreme antics came out. None of my shots came out!
