NYC based, Japanese, Asobi Seksu is bringing their fuzzy guitars and etheral vocals for a noisy, dreamy pop-rock show in Chicago. If you've not heard their bubble-gum-for-the-ears tracks, do so now. Their collection of tracks are performed in a mix of Japanese and English and both are equally unique and stunning, perfectly formulated for a mix of frothy fun. You just might find that you recognize Asobi Seksu's sound, their sparkling songs have been on Skins, Ugly Betty and The L Word.
Insider Info: Asobi Seksu in colloquial Japanese means "playful sex." I think this is a great term to capture the energy of the band, perhaps best illustrated by sexy, slight front woman, Yuki Chikudate song-birding "put your tongue up to my battery" in upbeat track, Nefi + Girly.
