Fuji Hakayito is a wild band of wild bandmates. Their first two records were each written, recorded, produced, and released all in the same day. Fuji was founded as a test of how far one can be pushed creatively in small amounts of time. The concept band was formed just three days prior to their first show in January 2008, where they took the stage dressed in whiteface and “cowboy outfits”, playing old country chord progressions …to blast beats through layers of psychadelia. Citing such varied influences as “The Flying Burrito Brothers”, “The Mummies” and “The Brian Jonestown Massacre”, they continue to develop their sound in compelling and challenging ways – to ensure that audiences never get the same experience twice.
Catch them at The Artel with Captain Lavender and Night Danger. Doors open at 8pm. $5 at the door. This is an ALL AGES show.
