Weeks of wonder culminated in a long moment of uncertainty when Jiga + Jinno of Analog Pussy took the stage back on April 9 at Cube326.

"Trance 'N Roll," the latest album by Jiga (left) and Jinno, is enjoying wide acceptance and positive momentum.

After years of storming the rest of the world and Internet with their unique live act, this was their very first performance in Japan. The G-moloch crowd on hand was primed but had little idea of what kind of show they were about to get. And an equipment delay was stretching into a few minutes, into that stifling awkward "silence" where the floor stops moving and you can hear the ringing in your ears.

The wait was worth it. In fact, it was if the music had never stopped at all.

It's a German band...
Are we gonna post about every Western artist that's doing a performance in Japan?
 
Analog Pussy are from Israel. They just reside in Germany. I know because I wrote the article. Thank you Hachiko for posting the link!

Although this factoid didn't make it into the article, to get an idea of how popular they are, do a Google search for just the 2nd word in their name... (starts with "p")
Despite the myriad of sex sites and all that popularity, AP can always be found somewhere in the top 10. Pretty amazing.
That's why they rated an article.
Make sure to read the LA Weekly article as well -- it will open your eyes to the realities of how big record companies do business!
