Japanther, the musical-art project of Ian Vanek and Mat Reilly, have released a dozen LPs in the past ten years. Their latest release, Eat Like Lisa Act Like Bart, came out yesterday on Recess Records. They have a video for the track, Stolen Flowers, and are heading out on tour in support.
I have never seen them but I have been told that their shows, even in small venues, are something to be seen. Often bands who are heavy on the art produce music that you don’t actually want to LISTEN to—that is NOT Japanther. Give a listen, give a look.
