and all the great music on earth...
KAGERO is a Japanese gypsy rock band based in NYC with tendrils reaching across the globe. "What kind of music do you guys play?" is always the question. After struggling for a long time to come up with some kind of accurate description for our sound, we're going with nomadic world rock. However the debate rages on... the following terms are also under consideration: urban-gypsyphonic, border-jumping feelgood rock, kazrockistanian and international debtor's prison tunes. If you can think of another one, email it to us. But, by whatever name, we hope you enjoy listening as much as we enjoy playing. Music without Borders !
KAZ (vocals, harp, guitar) was born in a Japanese village where he cut school to play music in local clubs until he was old enough to pack up his axe and see the world. He got hisself educated in London, inebriated in Dublin, lost in the streets of Paris and finally ended up in that home of all the world's itinerants, New York City. As founding member and creative mastermind behind Kagero, Kaz pulls his influences from every and anywhere, bringing genres and killer hooks together in novel ways. He also likes Guiness. A lot.
ROB BASS (electric bass, vocals) has been performing with Kaz and Kagero many years, since the fabled days of Al Mars. Aside from a long standing professional interest in the culture of New Jersey, Robbie is an accomplished musician -- he's played all around the New York area with various groups of many different styles -- but whatever he does, he bangs his head. Rob is made of heavy metal, and he keeps the rock.
J.W. (fiddle, saw) learned to play violin at age 6 by the Suzuki Method with about 9.5 billion other young asians. He played in local youth orchestras until college, where he pursued, shall we say, other interests. After moving to NYC in the year 2000, and trying to make rent by playing on the subway, J.W. finally threw away his chin rest and joined up with the local garage folk movement and has been trying to unlearn ever since.
Its a damn shame...I just picked up a second job, and will be working. :( You guys should come in for a cold beer before or after. It's called the Appalachian Brewing Company; just a few blocks from your stage. Hope to see you...have a great show!
