Fujiya & Miyagi - Lightbulbs and Tour Dates

Fujiya & Miyagi are proud to announce their recent signing with Full Time Hobby records, home of White Denim, Malcolm Middleton, Tunng and Micah P Hinson.

Imagine that Fujiya & Miyagi are mask-wearing technicians dissecting music, keen to magnify particles of sound to create a pulsing antidote to the ordinary. They speak in tongues, using language as a rhythm, picking words that sound good, rhyming 'jigsaws' with 'carnivores'.

Their songs are incisive snapshots of real lives that make household appliances sound threatening. They are steeped in vintage music from evocative krautrock to deep soul, with wafts of early Human League synth, Floydian Englishness and the throbbing groove of Tom Tom Club, all filtered for modern times.

In total, Fujiya & Miyagi don't really sound like anything. Instead, they sound like everything condensed into perfectly arranged three minute chunks of infectious pop music, a strange hybrid of James Brown on Valium and Wire gone pop. Or maybe Serge Gainsbourg with a PhD in electronics backed by David Byrne's Eno-produced scratchy guitar mixed by MF Doom. It's Darwinism gone mad.

Fujiya & Miyagi are currently playing the following 2008 live dates:

18th September - Roisin Dubh, Galway
19th September - Cyprus Avenue, Cork
20th September - Spiegeltent, Dublin
21st September - Stiff Kitten, Belfast
24th September - Bush Hall, London
25th September -The Deaf Institute, Manchester
27th September -Stereo, Glasgow
3rd December - Pavillion Theatre, Brighton
