Lo-Fi Blog

Very cool place to check out!











I didn't know that they kept the temple area open even pretty late.

I'm a bit dissapponted that we missed the chance to see one of the famous gift stores in that area...!

Lo-Fi is featured in the DVD of Surfing Life released in Japan on 10th of May!


This is a photo of the DVD that comes with the magazine.
The waves on this DVD are pretty wild... to be honest I didn't know Japan had giant waves like some you can see in the DVD. Anyway this DVD brought the summer a little closer to me than the weather right now in Tokyo.

This is a shot from our gig yesterday!
We had my friend from the Netherlands be our VJ for the night.It was a mix of some abstract photos paintings and lyrics!Check his site out:http://massoudhassani.squarespace.com/

We start at 19:25!! Please say "Lo-Fi" at the door to get the special discount

Last week I got my wisdom teeth taken out so Lo-Fi has some time off from playing live.

We're planning out next show on the 10th of May, so I still got a lotta time to recover.

Now to be honest I had no idea that taking these teeth out were going to be so hard for me. The modern Asian has less jaw space so this makes less room for the teeth when they grow in. People say that this was caused by a shift to more western food and because there is less chewing...

I have this feeling of being very sick when I'm in that hospital room.
Probably because the last two times I was in the hospital I was very sick.
I hope I recover quickly from this stay in the hospital.
I had a lot of thinking time, and I think I was able to work on some
New themes that I wanted to try out with the band.

Can't wait to get back into the studio again.

This is the link to the show's page (sorry only in Japanese)

The interviews will also be in Japanese so I guess we'll have to report about what we talked about so we can share it with our English speaking fans out there!

I haven't worked on a Lo-Fi video for a long time,
here's a post of our latest video that we made for a magazine DVD special.

This month we we're booked for a large scale music event that's going to be held in the O-East stage in Shibuya. This concert hall has a capacity around a thousand so I'm interested to see how large the party is going to turn out.


The artists that are participating are bands and musicians affiliated with the TBS TV show in collaboration with viBirth music distribution on myspace.

The show features an indie artist and other alleged "pros" give them advice about how to shape up their act. For better or for worse Lo-Fi hasn't been privaleged to the honor of taking part in this show.

Many people tell us how it's kind of difficult to push our music/band, 'cause we don't fit snug into the J-Pop scene. Well personally I don't understand how sounding like someone else or sound stereotypically jpop is going to help my music or our listeners but I guess I'll just have to weather this type of common expectation in the music industry now.

We are getting lots of positive feedback from directors or producers event organizers that want to take their projects overseas as well. This is great becaus we think music international and just sound by itself has no borders.
And slowely I guess international-English is becoming the common language in a large part of the world.

Which reminds me I wish I had the ability to sing in more languages. Until then I'll do my best to reach out with the sound.

Well on March 19th we were fortunate enough to have our supporters push us into this event. So if your in town please drop by to catch the music.
