| Secret Japanese Girlfriend: General Info
|
| Member Since | 10/29/2007 | | Band Website | aliengirlrecords.com | | Band Members | membres du groupe lately are Vanessa "Ptarmigan" Hanson and Colleen Costello (who have just started a great new backroads country band named Antler), Michelle Breslin and Steve Keeping other secret japanese girlfriends have been Dave Newfeld, Leanne Davies, Emmit Rogan, Alastair MacLeod, Jeff Peers, Dave Rodgers, Robyn Carrigan, Adam Rosen, a small Baptist choir, somebody claiming to be the ghost of Frank Zappa but probably is not, and Brandine the cat, and you. | | Influences | XTC. Bob Pollard. The friendship of Li Po and Tu Fu. | | Sounds Like | we sound an awful lot like this band: "Lead by Doc Pickles, co-founder of Toronto's Wavelength music series, Your Band Sucks are a playful, quirky and melodic band who toy with as many instruments as possible: organ, electric drums, accordion, clarinet and keyboards all make appearances on tracks. With a lo-fi production approach and an emphasis on vocals, they're comparable to the Russian Futurists or the ironic lyrical stylings of Ben Folds. With tracks like "Teach Your Pets To Smoke", and songs about sports networks, they're funny too." -- Kate Robertson, the Torontoist. | | Record Label | aliengirl | | Type of Label | Major |

| About Secret Japanese Girlfriend |
|
Doc Pickles was a competitive bagpiper and litzine poet with an abiding interest in Joseph Campbell and Marshall Macluhan in 1995 when he set his poems to music using a Radio Shack karaoke and a toy casio. Doc fronted punkpoppers Mason Hornet in the nineties, helped to create Wavelength and thrills in making honest music with people he likes. Secret Japanese Girlfriend is what happens when Doc makes music for you with his friends, ranting and raving at a world out of order.
