Meet The Sun: Noz Reveals Secrets Behind Our New Single

“I couldn’t speak, but I could play.”“演奏はできる。だけど話せない、だからなんだ、いいんだ、演奏できるから、と開き直った。” – Nozomi Omote Tom writes: Meet the Sun, our new single arriving 25 January, is about life-long adventures and challenges.  Noz’s entire adult life has been an adventure.  For the first time ever, she recounts that story for you, and you’ll understand our song, Meet the Sun. 新曲シングル「太陽との出会い」は1月25日にリリース予定。ノズの人生冒険が詰まってる曲よ。今回初めてノズの生い立ちをブログに書き下ろしたので、読んでみてね。そしたら新曲「太陽との出会い」のこと、もっとわかってもらえるかも!

Guardian Spirit

In the second half of 2022, we’re working toward some big things. As of early September 2022, we’ve already played for Jungle Love Festival and Brisbane Festival.

Shugorei’s Plans. . .

Well. . . . firstly you should know we’re working on an album. It’s almost finished. It’s fair to say that the situation with the Covid virus in 2020 has slowed us down. But it has not stopped us. We have just a few more instruments to record, including bass clarinet and flute. Then we’re…

Practice Sessions (Part 2)

Here is some more (virtual) rehearsal footage. Note that these items are little sneak peeks of our 2020 upcoming album! Tom and Noz often practice independently, because Brisbane is quite immense, geographically! The upshot is that we video our practice sessions and often “glue” them together later.  We’ll definitely be posting more of our practice…

Practice Sessions (part 1)

Brisbane is a big place. An hour’s drive separates Tom and Noz. So we often practice independently. This means we frequently have videos to show of our practice sessions! Here’s one (above). We’ll come back and post more as we go!
