    Hey Zack... thanks for adding me to your fab new myspace!

    I've been a fan of your blog ever since I found info about my fav artist Mikio Hirama profiled there. You got good info!

    Here's a band that I simply cannot find any info on.... they're called Friday Oh! Oh!. I discovered them on iTunes and bought their album and I LOVE IT! But... sadly they don't seem to be active anymore. But I can't even figure out who the musicians in the band were. I'd love to know what projects they've moved onto and/or what they are doing now, if not producing anymore great Friday Oh! Oh! music. I think they released the album in 2002 (could be wrong about that. iTunes doesn't give much info).

    If there is anything you can tell me about them I'd be thrilled!

    Take care,

    Cammomile (also of Japan In Toronto)
