RUSHING to reply only two months later, so it is.

Pleased (which is why I dipped back here) and a little surprised to see Shabby staying with Nathan and Rachael and saying what lovely hosts they are. I always like unexpected friendships.

Really glad to see the friendship between Shabby and Ben on Twitter - I was always sad that did not emerge sooner in the house

Yes, I saw that. I think Shabby has calmed down a LOT since BB - she sounds positively philosophical these days.

Legend In Japan - Barefoot Festival 2012 (Shabby and Pyro talking)

Legend in Japan at Barefoot festival, Loughborough, 27/07/12 (performing, almost inaudibly)

Legend In Japan - Absent Friends (barefoot festival mentioned, sound still poor)

(There are more. Search and you will find.)

Finally, this: Save Me by Shabby Katchadourian 'cause it takes me back in time, like totally.
To the point where it's a strange - sort - of - experience.

And what reminds me, somehow, of that, is this: joe kingman 'breakin in my heart'

Yes, true. Oddly haunting for various reasons.

LIJ a bit uncompromisingly punky for me at the moment: http://www.reverbnation.com/legendinjapan - though on Give em an Inch she has an unexpectedly blues sound to her voice. Give her five years and she'll be deborah Bonham.

It's a sad day when this thread has to rely on me for news.

ANYway:

A gig in February: http://thegarage.co.uk/listings/upco...gend-in-japan/

And it says (among other things):




However, I can find no sign of said EP on Amazon.

From the "uncharted wastelands" thread on Feb 1st:


I don't know what it's about. However, looking on youtube, I found this presumably unrelated clip:

Legend in Japan - "Agitation! Propaganda!" Official Music Video Exclusive!

(Click on "Show more" to see a lot more about the song, etc, including lyrics.)

And this:

TLT Unplugged - Legend in Japan

Both clips come in HQ versions and have good sound quality.

More clips:

TLT Unplugged - Red and Pink

Legend In Japan - Give Em An Inch (promo)

Legend In Japan - Victory Victory (promo)

So High - Legend In Japan (Still pic with sound)

Legend In Japan - Live on TV, Dial M (confused my browser, but I was eventually able to watch and listen)

Good finds. Two years on and the Say You Love Me video does seem a bit everything-but-the-kitchen-sink. I seem to remember that they didn't like it much themselves. The black and white live footage works much better.

YOu could do a very clunky 'links game with Shabby, whose brother has made a film with Honey Bane (who I remember from FOREVER back when she was only a teenager), who has also made a film with Donny Tourette.... There MUST be some connection I can contrive between Donny Tourette and Shabby to make the circle...

I'm liking the Legends' songs better now that I seen clips with better sound quality, but I still prefer the VH songs. I think "Say you love me" was one of the worst of them, though, and that they made a mistake in picking it. I'm not sure whether Legends is in the same direction as "Say you love me" or not.

Perhaps it will just take some more listens before I get into the Legends stuff.

I was really surprised when they chose Say You Love Me as their single, but I liked the final arrangement of it.

I found the choice of "Say You Love Me" very frustrating. They had any number of (imo) better songs; "Say" was atypical (they even said themselves it wasn't what they usually did) and so wouldn't give listeners a good idea of what they were like; and "Say" replaced their earlier choice of single (which I think was "Sleep Produces Monsters") almost as soon as "Say" appeared, for reasons that were unclear.

Yes, Sleep Produces Monsters was a stronger song, definitely.
