Tokyoblu

Tokyoblu need You!
Looking
forward to 2007 Tokyoblu are looking further to develop our live
concept and are looking to add a few things into the mix.
1)
Firstly we are looking for new vocalists to guest on tracks with
us. We are looking for both male and female vocalists probably between
the age of
18 & 30. Some live experience is preferred but not essential.
2)
We are also looking for a brass section for the band so if you play
sax, trumpet or trombone give us a shout. Our musical influences
are hugely varied but needless to say it would help if you enjoy
the likes of Basement Jaxx, Groove Armada, the Greenskeepers, Rogue
Traders, The Scissor Sisters & Jamiroquai.
3)
Tokyoblu are also looking for budding designers to create a series
of flyers for us, so if you want to get your work seen by thousands
off people please get in touch.
If
you would like to be a part of Tokyoblu and any of the above applies
to you then please email your details to John at: tokyoblu1@hotmail.com

gigs across the UK including dropping it at Rockness and then live

Marsh (Beloved / Fabric), K-Klass, The Sharp Boys Trevor Rockliffe
(Fabric), Hed Kandi DJ's, Miss Moneypenny DJ's & Scotland's
own Lisa Littlewood gave our tunes some healthy spins.
