Satori [səˈtôrē] = "a sudden awakening"

What crossroads, such as Damascus and Samarkand, were to world cultures many hundreds of years ago along the Silk Road, Satori will be to those who come from different corners of the underground culture and music experience. Satori is for those who don't want to listen to the same 'ol crap, being those who judge what they listen to based on quality musician

Was Punk Rock Born in Peru? - Los Saicos - Noisey Specials 01/03/2023

Purported to be the very first punk band. I disagree. Excellent and unusual as they were for the time, Los Saicos were one of the first proto-punk bands, alongside numerous British and American 60s garage rock bands from the early/mid 60s.

The Messed Up Truth About The 1990s Music Industry 01/01/2023

1996... the year that broke broadcast radio. The Telecommunications Act of 1996. When art, heart, and personality were ripped from FM radio, to from then on be measured based exclusively on record sales while putting superficiality on a pedestal through applying tried-and-true, simplistic tropes and formulas so as to appeal to society's lowest common denominator, thus maximum sales. Individual and collective talent, alongside legitimate critical response, are a distant second priority, if considered important at all. 1996... the year most deeply thoughtful and soulful artist/musicians were replaced with the likes of celebrity clowns we refer to as "recording artists". Thanks Clinton!

*** CHILDREN OF A LESSER GOD: A Post-Punk Listening and Dance Party ***

Kaiju’s Deep Down LISTENING LOUNGE… from 8 to 11pm casually meet, drink, laugh and find yourself saying, often, in fact, “Holy s**t! This is great stuff! Why have I never heard this before?”

Kaiju’s Deep Beats Post-Punk DANCE PARTY… then, from 11 to 2am, if you happen to remember how to move your body to pre-electronica, tribalesque, 1980s analog and synth percussion, then we’re gonna have one helluva dance party.

See ya there! ~Kaiju

03/03/2022

In just under one week-1/2, on Saturday, March 12, please join me for CHILDREN OF A LESSER GOD, when I will be hosting the first of many outstanding, highly-curated, genre specific events to come at Portside Lounge.

The night of Saturday March 12 I'm gonna introduce you to Post-Punk. The first couple hours is for listening, drinking, talking, laughing, and bouncing around with new friends and old. Once fueled-up, and our joints and our inhibitions are properly lubed, WE DANCE!

For those of you who are unfamiliar with post-punk, here's a chance to blow your mind wide open with music that not only touches the soul with complex rhythms and archetypal themes but also taps into our collective primal roots with driving percussion.

Certainly, there'll be lots of familiar material, but to be clear, this ain't gonna be no namby-pamby "80's Night", greatest hits of Joy Division kinda thing. Because everything old is new again, my intent is to introduce not only the hits but the numerous bands and great songs that fell by the wayside, by either being lost, beneath-the-radar, forgotten, rare, foreign imports, or not given air- or floor-play; including deep cuts, demos, alternate takes, and outstanding, never before heard songs.

So, please invite friends and share this post on social media!

Hope to see you in a week-1/2 on Saturday, March 12 from 9-til!!!

Craig aka Kaiju
