Who am I speaking with and what do you do in the band?
I am Takayuki Kawahara aka Fabian. I play kick-ass beat guitar in Minnesota Voodoo Men.
It took a little while for your sound to kick off internationally, but now with Europe under your belt are you ready to take on the Australian music scene?
We formed in Tokyo, 1998. We’re one of world famous garage band from Japan. We have three albums, which have already kicked ass of Japan and almost of Euro. The next is Australia’s turn.
Apart from your performances at The LuWOW later this month, what is one activity you want to do once on Australian soil?
We want Australian girl tempura. Watch out, Reprobettes and Rebelles.
For those who haven’t yet had the pleasure of hearing your music, how would you best describe your sound to them, using just three words?
Wild kick-ass beat.
If you were to give audiences one reason to come to one or all of your shows at LuWOW, what would that be?
Playing the guitar upside down whilst drinking a beer, perhaps?
The only chance to see our crazy show without being in Japan.
We will shake your mind and you will want more and more and more.
THE MINNESOTA VOODOO MEN hit LuWow on Friday October 31 for the Halloween Voodoo show with The Tarantinos.
