SHAKE ASS & SMILE

Click to Play

Shaking ass and smiling, an amazing band named "UZUHI" performed at the Japan Society Festival on the campus of Columbia University in New York City. They are one of the exciting Japanese bands (JROCK) who sing many of their songs in English and are part of the vibrant underground musical avant garde scene stretching out from NYC to increasingly large sections of the nation. I posted an earlier video called "UZUHI JROCK POWER" which is even more amazing.
