MIRRORS - Out Of Order / Block Out

"Out Order / Block Out" est le second et dernier single du trio paru en 79 sur leur label Gozira Records. L'influence new-yorkaise des Richard Hell, Lydia Lunch & James Chance est patente. Higo Hiroshi participera à Friction et à The Stalin. Japanese no wave stuff.

MIRRORS - Shogeki-X / Mirrors

Trio formé à Tokyo en 1977 par l'ex-3/3 Higo Hiroshi (drums, vocals), A. Ando (guitar, vocals) & Matsumoto Hiroaki (bass, vocals). "Shogeki-X / Mirrors" est leur premier single paru en 78 inaugurant leur propre label Gozira Records. Une une mouvance punk / No wave plutôt réussie. Great early japan stuff.
