Mini-interview with Eshe

posted in Interviews on September 8, 2009 by Anna 2 Comments

I know I haven’t payed nearly as much attention to Orgeltanz as I should’ve, but watching the band’s bellydancer Eshe perform the most mesmerizing dance to Apollo 18‘s Orbis I promise that’ll change. I’ve liked the idea of a bellydancer in a band since I first heard of it, but after Orbis I became even… Continue reading →

Mini-interview with donawhale

posted in Interviews on August 26, 2009 by Anna 7 Comments

Last week I exercised a bit of Korean while engaging in a brief exchange of messages with donawhale‘s guitarist, Youn Sung Hoon. As he agreed to answer questions for a mini interview, I turned to mrkwang who kindly agreed to help out with the translation. And so Indieful ROK readers now have a chance to… Continue reading →

It’s August 20, and that means that hardcore band 13Steps‘ second full length album, Existence, is out! GMC Records‘ Kyono dedicated a blog post to it today with album sampler, Against All MV, and a long interview in Korean.

Something on Grand Mint Festival 2009

posted in Interviews on August 18, 2009 by Anna 15 Comments

In a couple of months – October 24-25, to be exact – Grand Mint Festival is coming up, and as a Korean indie fan with no actual experience of Korean festivals it seems like the one festival one really shouldn’t miss. In fact, I’ve even made plans to go there myself this year (finally! I’m… Continue reading →

Mini-interview with Apollo 18

posted in Interviews, Samples on August 9, 2009 by Anna 0 Comments

As you may be aware, Apollo 18 is one of the best new bands in Korea right now – they even have an award to prove it! Having been a fan of Jelly Boy for years I was not disappointed when I realized that his new band was somewhere beyond incredible. And so, I’m awfully… Continue reading →

Mini-interview with Sunkyeol

posted in Interviews, Samples on August 6, 2009 by Anna 3 Comments

As you may recall Kyoungmo Kim of now disbanded Especially When (interview & download link for one of the best songs ever written here) has started anew with Sunkyeol. Eager as I am to learn more about this band that already has had me obsessively playing the same song(s) over and over again, I’m very… Continue reading →

Mini-interview with Merry-Go-Round

posted in Interviews on July 22, 2009 by Anna 0 Comments

As you may have gathered from that Korean twee pop post, Merry-Go-Round used to be a favorite of mine. And as you may recall from that Especially When interview, on occasion this blog will also be used to shine a little light on great bands and artists that are no longer active. So while sending… Continue reading →

Mini-interview with Plastic People

posted in Interviews, Samples on July 21, 2009 by Anna 0 Comments

Tomorrow, Plastic People will release their third full length album – that means lots of good new music to check out for anyone into mellow folky stuff, and already three songs from it are streaming on MySpace. The male half of the duo, Kim Mingyu, was kind enough to answer a few questions for Indieful… Continue reading →

Mini-interview with Dringe Augh

posted in Interviews, Samples on June 29, 2009 by Anna 1 Comment

A couple of weeks ago, while trying to find some more info on Dringe Augh and his Individually Wrapped EP, I found myself welcomed in Swedish when entering the peprermEnt site, which Dringe Augh was clearly an associate of. As a Swede interested in Korea, it’s always fun to find a Korean interested in Sweden… Continue reading →

Something on concerts in Korea

posted in Interviews, random news on June 20, 2009 by Anna 3 Comments

Sean of sssighborgg has got a couple of interesting concert series going with more interesting ideas just waiting to get out. We’ve already addressed the Round Robin series here at Indieful ROK, and Mark posted on the Nosaj Thing mini-Korea tour (through booking company Super Color Super) at Korea Gig Guide a few days ago….
