Joe Yamanaka R.I.P.


Frontman for Japan's ominous psych monsters known as Flower Travellin' Band, Akira Joe Yamanaka, died at the age of 64 due to lung cancer. Another rock legend passes on. If you've no clue about Flower Travellin' Band and Joe's work with them, a good start would be Satori. Incredibly heavy psychedelic music, reminding many who are exposed to it for the first time of Japan's response to Led Zeppelin. I keep showing my respects late but it's better late than never and that's what I get for living on North America's cock shaft.

Thanks to PUKESKYWALKER for putting this up. Go!
