If you are up at 5AM pacific (9PM Japan time) Thursday morning, a Japanese instrumental rock band "Unkie" is broadcasting on Ustream

they are coming out with a third album. The band features famous female bassist Tokie, who has been around since "Norma Jean" (late 80's/early 90's band) and has since become extremely prolific as a member of several major bands, including the super group "Losalios. She's also a sought after session bassist, and producer. They will be joined by some guests, including grunge rock band Detroit7. I'm expecting some live performances so here's hoping.
There are two reasons I play bass and Tokie is one of them. This will be something a little different for TB.
again, this is in about two hours.
