hot hot hot
hi all
for those of you we haven't seen for a while, we had a really enjoyable show at what the dickens in ebisu earlier this month - thanks to everyone who came.
we've also been working on some new songs, as well as re-learning how to play a few of our old favourites (flesh, blood and bottle, here on the grass in the rain, ruby) which we hope to be playing again live soon.
we've got two gigs in the next few weeks:
Saturday August 30th - Euro House, Funabashi
Saturday September 27th - The Upper Float, Chiba
also, we have updated the music on the minx myspace page.
instead of just a few whole songs, you can now listen to excerpts of every song from all 3 of our cds.
please feel free to download those 3 music files from that page, and to leave a message.
you can also see what brian has been doing in his musical laboratory late at night by visiting his emporium myspace page.

review of bloodshot
from Tokyo Metropolis
"MINX
Bloodshot
(Minx Music)
In the running for Japan’s longest-lived expat band with over a decade under their belts, Minx return with their third collection. It’s been five years since Marvellous Minx, but frontman Brian Smith’s rueful observations from the edge of the indie rock universe remain unhampered by commercial success. “Safe to say I’m not going nowhere” he sings on “How to Get on in Life,” a poppy outing spiced as always by Shawn Larson’s piquant trumpet lines. There are also stories of “lives lived between the pavement and the cars,”a song inspired by strip club music, and a love letter to The Ramones. Minx next illuminate the gaijin rock scene November 10th at Euro House in Funabashi."

On Saturday..
we played at What the Dickens? in Ebisu, and had a lovely time. Thank you to everyone who came for providing such a pleasant atmosphere, and to John and Hiromi and the rest of the Dickens' staff for their tolerance and support.
I was just looking through some pictures from the summer, and found a few of Minx on the Roof. I like this one (although you can't see much of Keizo.)

a rock odyssey
Dear Friends of MINX
We would like to invite you and your friends to enjoy a FREE LIVE PERFORMANCE of MINX - A ROCK ODYSSEY - featuring MINX songs from the past, the present and the future.
This concert performance will take place on SATURDAY APRIL 8th 2006 in EBISU (Tokyo, Japan) at WHAT THE DICKENS from 20:30, approximately.
Among the musicians performing will be the current members of MINX, plus BRUCE and ALI, who are returning to our bosom.
There will be three sections to this gala performance.
Please dress informally (but not too casually - ensure shoelaces are tied properly, and underwear and overclothes worn in the correct order).
Alcohol will be available from the bar.
There will be NO CRECHE FACILITIES - children will be refused admission as the performance is likely to contain some mild (non-sexual) violence and language of an adult nature.
Please do not feel obliged to bring gifts. However, Mike says he does need a new pair of red socks. Please.
We hope that you are able to attend.
Yours Sincerely
MINX
