I was talking to Pete and Simon on the Rocks Off cruise and they mentioned there was this amazing band in Japan that plays NMS tunes. Joking Pete mentioned "I think they may play our tunes better than we do Mike!" We all had a laugh. Now I had thought it was the another band I had seen cover Land of Nod which was good and all but I did a little lookign around youtube. Um I found them! THE HOUSEROCKERS OF YOKOHAMA

Check these vids out. Absolute monsters. I'd love to see them:

BUSTER! Your band is the absolute bomb!!! Welcome aboard the site! If you ever make your way over to the US please let me know and I will take care of you over here. I will let the NMS know you are in Yokohama and maybe they can jam with you one day!

Hi Mike!

OHAYO GOZAIMASU (mean good morning)
and sorry for my late reply.

We are not professionals,
We play sometimes at some local clubs,
but we do not got any money....haha

By the way, we released only one CD twelve years ago.
"The Houserockers Salutes The Soul Of Memphis"
http://blueslim.m78.com/houserockers.html

The CD was recorded at Memphis TN, in 1995.
and some soul legends play on this record for us.
Mabon "Teenie" Hodges, Howard Grimes (from Hi Rhythm),
Ollie Nightingale, and Derrick Williams.
It was precious experience for us.

Thanks:D
MATANE! (see you) 

Buster.

Hey!

I downloaded the tracks you put online, they sound great! Good stuff.
