The guys in Sakerock are oddballs indeed. Then again, few instrumental bands led by a trombonist make it anywhere, so why not play to your strengths?


I give them credit for playing tunes your grandfather could shimmy to and still keep it weird. One thing you don’t see on the vids here is the constant banter between the band and the crowd. They look like gentlemen on this clip here:

But I’ve seen them get sweaty and wriggle out of those suits by encore. They’ll probably play Friday afternoon at Field of Heaven, and I wouldn’t be surprised if they show up elsewhere.
BONUS INFO: They’ve now broke into commercials, so far plugging one of my fave store in Japan, Tokyu Hands, where they package everything just so.
