You had Gaijin A Go Go on your show? They hired me once... I've never worked with a group that made such sugary superficial music in my life... uggggggggggggggggggggg

What? You don't dig their japanese version of "Let The Sun Shine In"? (For those of you playing at home I mean the song from "Hair" not the Pebbles and Bam Bam song from the Flintstones.)

After being given weird looks by a choreographer in the tightest pants I'd ever seen in my life for about 2 hours.. trust me.. the charm wears off

We got them on the show 'cause the Japanese go-go dancer in the band is my younger brother's ex - they met shortly after graduation at OU (Oklahoma University) - then they both moved here to NYC after the Mrs. & I helped them snag an apt. - that is, after their vacation in Japan that my in-laws helped fund...

Anyway, how could ANYONE not like Gaijin a-Go-Go? As superficial and/or sugary as they may sound, you gotta admit those tunes are catchy...
