   About TOKYO TRAMPS
..
.. Myspace Layouts Hailing from the Land of Rising Sun (Japan), TOKYO TRAMPS is on a mission to deliver joy and excitement of true American music, Blues and Rock'n'Roll. American music has a tremendous power to make three Japanese come down here. The musical journey started when Satoru Nakagawa left Japan to go to Louisiana searching for the spirit of Rock'n'Roll. Soon he found its father, Blues. Yukiko Fujii left a very lucrative job in Tokyo and took a giant step following her heart to play American music in America. Kosei Fukuyama had a dream of becoming the best drummer. His ambition is to hit the big time in America. These three had a chance to meet in Boston, where American revolution started. Satoru took its name TRAMPS from his early idol, Bruce Springsteen's song, Born To Run - "Tramps like us, baby, we were born to run." Coming to a foreign land, not having home or families, traveling from place to place searching for the best sounds of America, what else can we do to make our dreams come true except playing for a Rock'n'Roll band?

*************************************************************************

The venues they played were :
Massachusetts - Harpers Ferry, House of Blues, TT the Bears, Hard Rock Cafe, ChiliHead BBQ, Dodge Street Grill, Lizard Lounge, Abbey Lounge, Plough and Stars, Church, Sea Note, Asgard, Midway Cafe, Kirkland Cafe, Next Page Cafe, ChitChat Lounge, Roosevelt, and many more!
New York - Kenny's Castaways, Baggot Inn, Blaggards Pub, Lion's Den, The Annex, Alphabet Lounge. New Jersey - the Buffstone's. Pennsylvania - Abilene, Club128, and the Tokio Ballroom. Rhode Island - The call. New Hampshire - the Barley House. ........and many many more!!

The band has participated in the showcases at :
Cutting Edge Music Business Conference in New Orleans, LA and Midwest Music Conference and Film Festival in Lexington, KY in 2002, Indianapolis Music Conference in Indianapolis, IN in 2003, and Millennium Music Conference in Harrisburg, PA and Independent Music Conference in Philadelphia, PA in 2004, 2005 and 2007. In 2006, NXNE Music & Film Festival in Toronto and NEMO in Boston, MA. Most recently in 2008, Independent Music Conference in Los Angels, CA.

THANKS for the add, you're one rockin BADDASS!

BLACK ROBOT Debut CD!!
Featuring the singles "Baddass", "Cocaine" and "I'm in Love".

ALREADY AVAILABLE ON AMAZON.com!!!

Early reviews say:
From the opening AC/DC inspired groove of “Cocaine” , a wickedly arranged cover of J.J. Cale’s narcotic classic, Black Robot serves instant notice with their self-titled debut that not only do they have it, they damn near destroyed the laboratory to get it. This mechanical/musical beast was conceived and constructed for the divine, ultimate destruction of brain cells, ear fibers and false perceptions about what it truly means to rock as if our very survival as a race depended on it.

Whoop-tee-do MAY GARAGE NITE/JUNE IN THE MAKING
Category: Music
Wow ! what a Good Garage Nite we Just had, The Quincy Piano Man Joey Fingers warmed up the early crowd of Musicians musiclovers and Regulars at the Rail Thanks to Jerry and Pizza Chef Bob for supplying great free pizza to the early birds we covered the pool table and Bob layed out 6 tasty pizzas for the the garagies to enjoy, Joey fingers had a Great set and started at 8:00 warming the Crowd up with his Piano work and everyone dug his version of the warren z. song Carmalita , Jeff Crane Played a solo Acoustic Set that I really enjoyed I really got a Kick out of the Classic Ruins Tune
"Kid you're All right By Me" brought me right back to Chets last Call Jeff is an excellent Guitarist and hope to have him come out again soon. Next Up was your Quincy Home boys Geezer Deluxe which was a blast for me playing with Both my Brothers
( Vile) Bill Donnelly as usual on the Bass and Rocking and my Brother
Chuck Donnelly Filling in on Drums with about one and a half practices and that's all he needed I was in Geezer heaven jumping on chairs banging my Guitar knowing my two Brothers were the rhythm section I could get away with anything with them as back up just like the good old days late 70's early 80's, I'm Proud of my Brothers Bill and Chuck Great players Great Guys,
Up Next, Jesse Ahern & Friends Jesse George and Tom had a great set of rocking Country really sounded Great and everyone was digging it to the last song and wanting more,
Ten Foot Pole Cats just Back from a Midwest Tour played their usual Fantastic set and if you want a good review of the pole cats check Vile Bills of them playing the garage the last time they were here, they brought the nite's energy up even more with raukus
Guitar harmonica and howlin Growlin moanin and Drums great Drums
