ROCK: Modern Rock, ROCK: Emo
Details:
The story of rock bands finding success outside their home country is an old one; the list of U.K. bands that made it in the States, but not at home (Led Zeppelin, at first, the Fixx, and Bush are prominent examples) is almost as long as the list of Americans striking gold abroad before finding it at home (Blondie, Stray Cats, Backstreet Boys, hell, even Jimi Hendrix). But the Sushi Cabaret Club is something different: two Brits (Scottish singer/guitarist Dave Wallace and English keyboardist Dave Freeman), an Australian (bassist Aaron Beutel), and an American (drummer Mike Bagley) came together in Nogaya, Japan, not the usual place to start a career from although there are plenty of U.S./U.K. bands that are popular there. Since forming in 2003, the Sushi Cabaret Club has steadily built up a following in Japan through constant gigging and their first two albums, 2003âs Beauty Built and 2004âs Living On Mountains.
Their newest album, Band in My Head, is a fusion of American hard rock and English progressive rock and the recipe is a potent one. Dave Wallaceâs voice is one part Springsteen, and one part Bryan Adams, and it serves him well whether the gang is rocking all over the place (the opener âBlues & Greysâ, âNew Beginningâ) or quietly intense (âSmileâ a ballad with gospel-meets-Hendrix overtones). But itâs the prog elements that really define this band as I hear echoes of everyone from Genesis-by-way-of-Marillion (âConcrete Quicksandâ), Dream Theater (âWater Blueâ), Asia (âFallâ), and the Moody Blues (âLife On Lifeâ) in the music and the mystical/inspirational lyrics. It takes instrumental chops, panache, and self-belief to pull off this kind music, and the Sushi boys exhibit ample evidence of the first two, while they must certainly possess the latter in order to launch a world-wide career from Japan; not the easiest thing to do.
The Japanese love their rock and roll and take it very seriously (remember the screams on Cheap Trickâs Live At Budokan back in the day?), and they have taken the Sushi Cabaret Club to their hearts. And who are we to argue with them? With noise being made about the ânew progâ movement (supposedly spearheaded by the Mars Volta and Coheed and Cambria), the time has never been better for Westerners to be exposed to this band. And I canât think of a better place to start than with Band in My Head; one listen, and youâll fall under the spell of its epic sweep as I did.
