Sushirobo Tour the West
You'll pay for the whole seat-- but you'll only need THE EDGE

Run for cover!!>>!%!!!!! The fiendish monster that is Sushirobo is coming for your town! After epic battles with Mothra, Godzilla, and King Geedorah, Sushirobo will be making an appearance on the skyscraper nearest you in an epic musical beatdown the likes of which have never been witnessed by my non-Japanese eyes! And it's all happening SUNDAY SUNDAY SUNDAY!!! (Day may vary; check listing below.)

This just in: Sushirobo isn't really a Japanese B-movie monster. Rather, they are a musical quartet hailing from Seattle. Not as exciting, perhaps, but definitely more germane to these pages. The band's most recent release, The Light-Fingered Feeling of Sushirobo, was released in October 2003 on Pattern 25 Records and has done moderately well for itself, making it all the way to #11 on the CMJ Radio Add charts. The band, which was nominated for Seattle Weekly's 2004 Music Awards Best Rock/Pop Band honor, cites modern electronic experimentation and art-punk as its core influences, and they'll be displaying these influences in all their glory on this tour.
