HALF JAPANESE - The Band That Would Be King
Loading...
Uploaded by RobCavallo on Jul 20, 2006
Some say Half Japanese were the world's greatest underground band. Jad and David Fair started the band HALF JAPANESE in their bedroom in Uniontown, Maryland in 1975. Though neither could play a single note on any instrument, they went on to record one of the greatest albums of all time.

@JeffKatz Earliest Half Japanese is a challenge to listen to for even the heartiest. Lester Bangs admits this in his essay on Horrible Noise. But challenges are good, and rewarding sometimes.

@yummybacon a different side of punk.
-
@PaulaArnkvern Do you think Jad could sing Nirvana songs? With the melodies intact? (Not a smart-ass question but a sincere one)
-
@JeffKatz Jeff, list away. I always welcome good recommendations.
-
@JeffKatz Before Green Day got rich and soft they were a strong sounding little band. Not too original or challenging perhaps.

@suckstones At least your don't seem mean in your expression of dislike. Fair enough.

People have never gotten outsider music. That's why it's outsider.

Half Japanese are more about having fun than showcasing talent. Their songs are raw, honest, and better than anything the people who slam them will probably ever make in their lifetime.
