Fried Banana Shop releases 1st EP from Featuring reina, Joe Cupertino, etc.

Fried Banana Shop released their 1st EP “Tomorrow is too much for me” today, May 1st (Wednesday).

Fried Banana Shop is a band consisting of three members: Ryuju (Dr.), who is also known as the founder of the creative collective wau, Yoji (Sax.), and Tomo (Gt.). Each member is active in local club scenes and live houses in Tokyo across various communities.

This is their first EP, and includes the first three releases released by 2022, as well as two remixes of one of them, “Neon Blue.” “Neon Blue (Amapiano Remix),” which has been performed in DJ sets for some time, was remixed by the members themselves, and “Neon Blue (gai seki Remix),” which has a fusion feel, was remixed by percussionist gai seki. I’m working on it.

In addition, it consists of a total of 7 songs, including the new song “Sand Box” where the first three members performed vocals, and the introduction that leads to the title song “Tomorrow is too much for me (feat. Eri Yazaki)”. Featuring jazz singers Eri Yazaki and Hazuki Ono, wau’s Reina and rapper Joe Cupertino, the lineup is typical of Fried Banana Shop.

Additionally, an EP release party will be held on May 4th (Saturday) at Shibuya 7th Floor, Tokyo. Featuring artists who have participated in previous songs, including the latest songs, will gather together and perform. Fried Banana Shop also plans to release new singles and a second EP in the future. Let’s look forward to the next report.
