thai kick murph
Bass player for one of my favorite bands. I was choked when I heard thai kick might break up with Etsumi receiving a job offer outside Tokyo. However, these recent university grads soldiered on with Etsumi finding work close to home. Unfortunately, Kei (arguably the heart & soul of TKM) left the group.
I can't fathom thai kick without Wajima-san but at least Etsumi's still around. Also we finally have a traditional finger-pick representative after a long string of plectrum users and slappers.
And DAMN she's good.
Kei, Etsumi and me:
