Mini-Interview with Wings of the ISANG

posted in Interviews on November 7, 2016 by Anna 0 Comments

I’ve enjoyed the music of Wings of the ISANG since I first heard “Lost (상실의 시대)”. I rooted for the band on Top Band 2 and must be responsible for at least a 100 views of their Onstage videos. Yet I’ve somehow been too shy to reach out for an interview to actually get to… Continue reading →

Mini-Interview with Zandari Festa Director Dalse

posted in Interviews on September 25, 2016 by Anna 0 Comments

When I first heard the idea of creating an international showcase festival in Korea, I thought it sounded very interesting but couldn’t really see it happening. Zandari Festa did come along, but even after it had taken place the first time I remained cautious that it could turn into something worthwhile. It was only after… Continue reading →

Mini-Interview with Lang Lee

posted in Interviews on September 14, 2016 by Anna 0 Comments

Two months ago Lang Lee released her second full-length album. It’s a very strong release with great songs, intriguing arrangements, and of course Lang Lee’s characteristic vocals. Billed as her last album, however, it caught fans by surprise. I was as confused as anybody else and figured that the best way to get some clarity… Continue reading →

Mini-Interview with PATiENTS

posted in Europe Shows, Interviews on May 24, 2016 by Anna 0 Comments

When Patients debuted ten years ago I had yet to fully embrace punk music, but anyway enjoy a few of the songs. Five years later I was confused to find Patients competing in Hello Rookie, but by the time Patients entered the competitions for Top Band 2 and Ssamzie Sound Festival’s Hidden Masters 2012 I… Continue reading →

Mini-Interview with Hippie Death Star

posted in Interviews on April 5, 2016 by Anna 0 Comments

Once upon a time there was a band called The Plastic Day that was very, very awesome. Then leader Shin Sunho aka Green relocated to Australia, and a few years later he’d put together a new band called Hippie Death Star. I first interviewed the band in December 2014 while on tour in Korea. About… Continue reading →

Mini-Interview with Jun Bum Sun and the Yangbans

posted in Interviews on March 17, 2016 by Anna 1 Comment

Jun Bum Sun and the Yangbans‘ album debut was one of the most overlooked releases of 2014. A great album full of strong songs, but with Jun Bum Sun himself off to England soon after the release there wasn’t much time to build much of an audience by playing shows around Hongdae as bands usually… Continue reading →

Mini-Interview with PAKK

posted in Interviews on March 4, 2016 by Anna 0 Comments

On the 1st of November 2015, Atmo announced that the band would henceforth be known as PAKK. PAKK is led by Kim Daeinn aka jellyboy who just so happens to be one of my favorite musicians since about a decade ago. For some background on PAKK, check out IROK’s mini-interview with Atmo from 2014. While… Continue reading →

KMA2016: Mini-Interview with KMA President Chang-nam Kim

posted in Interviews, Korean Music Awards on February 27, 2016 by Anna 0 Comments

As anyone that has been following this blog during the past month will have noticed, I’m very interested in the Korean Music Awards–it’s always a great joy to see so many of the artists I like get a bit of spotlight and listening through the nominated albums and songs from genres I’m not usually exposed… Continue reading →

Interview with 49 Morphines

posted in Interviews on February 9, 2016 by Kevin 0 Comments

Last year back in June, I went to the Clandestino Festival in Gothenburg, Sweden. What initially caught my attention was the fact that Black String and Jambinai would be performing there. As Black String were getting ready to start performing on the first day, a group of people suddenly sat down next to me. They… Continue reading →

Mini-Interview with Earip

posted in Interviews on February 4, 2016 by Anna 0 Comments

One of the early bands I came across when I first started listening to Korean indie music was that of modern rock/indie pop band Sweater. Besides the nice melodies, the biggest allure to Sweater was the vocals provided by Earip. She put out her first solo release in 2005 and with her songwriting skills and… Continue reading →
