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

Stop Press! Stop Press! Stop Press! Stop Press! Stop Press!

Fatboy slim has been hammering one of our Tokyoblu remixes at his recent gigs across the UK including dropping it at Rockness and then live on radio
1 at Global Gathering. This follows on from big name DJ support for our promo only ep earlier in the year where the likes of Jon 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.
