K-RoK Interview: Apollo 18 - SXSW Follow-Up

If you read my blog with any kind of regularity you'll know of my love of Apollo 18. And I was lucky enough to get a follow-up interview on top of my original one!!! I think the guys were a little exhausted during their first US tour, but sounds like they had a great time and made lots of memories! 

K-RoK Song of the Day: No Brain - Radio Radio

No Brain is BACK!!!!! And with a new video. The new album released yesterday, I have yet to get my hands on a copy of it, but what I have managed to hear streaming online it sounds awesome. Here's the newest video from them: Radio Radio

K-RoK Song of the Day: Norazo - Superman

Comedy-rock-pop duo Norazo came out with Superman awhile ago, but this video just popped up of them doing a super LED street performance version of this song and I had to post it because it's just so fun!

Enjoy!



If you need help with the lyrics you can watch the video below for subtitles to the song:




I like to call them the "Weird Al" of Korea, because they're known for their clever and humorous lyrics as well as their outstanding vocals and stage presence.

K-RoK Song of the Day: Novasonic - Miss Terry

K-RoK Song of the Day: Dick Punks - Cheerleaders

Four member "punk" band Dick Punks debuted last year with their first album simply titled 1st EP.

K-RoK Song of the Day: Glen Check - Disco Elevator

New band Glen Check just released their first EP - Disco Elevator. It's a short, 5 (or 6 depending on where you get it from) song EP, but it's enough to get a taste of what the band is about.

Apollo 18 in Japan

The guys of Apollo 18 have re-confirmed their two concerts in Japan. They weren't sure if things were going to go on as scheduled after the earthquake, but details were worked out and they are still on. So, if you're in Tokyo, or know someone who is, go head out to see them!

April 1st - Kinoto in Shibuya
April 4th - Basement Bar in Shimokitazawa

And after that these three are heading home to Korea for some much deserved rest before they start work on their next album. It's going to be a busy year for Apollo 18! I'm hoping that on their return tour of the US they make it here to Minneapolis. :)
