About Me:
Pacifiction Records is an online distro specializing in underground and independent music from Asia. While the shop is not bound by genre, my personal tastes gravitate more towards garage punk of the 60's, Mod culture music and old punk. I have made this profile to highlight the Japanese garage punk and other real rock 'n' roll items that I carry.

SHLONK's Two Fisted Tour of Japan

Occasionally Pacifiction Records helps out overseas garage and punk bands with touring in Japan. This can be a result of having personal ties or, in the case I don't know you, if I really like your band. And ultimately it comes down to being able to afford the trip and expenses. That's just a fact of touring the country. I latched onto

BACK from the GRAVE: Halloween Ball '09 featuring THE MUMMIES!

Well, So much for promises. I never got my Minolta sorted with a flash and I also still need to buy a battery for it. And to top it off I didn't actually get to see the MUMMIES at Shinjuku Loft. Tickets sold out lightning quick and I was feeling rundown after partying several nights with SHLONK, a scummy Canadian band that hit Tokyo for Halloween week. However, my girlfriend did muster up the strength to stay out all nite after seeing S… Continue

A-BONES in Tokyo!

OK, so I mentioned in a thread that I was going to see the A-Bones in Tokyo for for a big Tokyo Back from the Grave blowout and there was a request for some photos. There was about 30 bands and I took three or four successful pics. I'm mostly upset that I didn't shoot the 5678's who played as the original band and wore traditional kimonos. I used a crappy Pentax digicam, but when the MUMMIES come around this Halloween I will to have a better camera.

First up is the classic style punk band JET B… Continue

Here Come the Rice - Modern Group Sounds

Those familiar with 60's garage rock, British Invasion and psychedelic bands are probably also familiar with the Group Sounds, or simply GS, movement in Japan in the late 60's. The Nuggets II set highlights The Mops and other groups like The Tigers and The Spiders have at least become familiar names to us in the West. Recently, Japan has scene a resurgence in older homegrown types of music including Showa Pop, Kayoukyouku (pop Songs) and of course GS. And the most popular band bringing back this… Continue

PLAYHOUSE - Japanese Demin Jacket RnR Trio

PLAYHOUSE are a true-to-form Japanese rock 'n' roll trio that have been playing together for the past decade or so. While the guitarist smokes up the stage, the bass player and lead vocalist carries right along with the cat on sticks; and then, they all stop on a dime together, just to hop right back along into song! If you're thinking Grease, these guys do it with more hard-edge Japanese attitude, and lacking none of the skill of a true RnR revival! They're continuing on under the name N… Continue

I did a recording session with Theee Bat while I was out there this year. I have just finished mixing it. Theee Bat are not sure if they want to make an album out of it or a couple of singles.

Hey, thanks!
I will check thru your catalogue! It's actually the kind of thing I was looking for - all kinds of thrashy asian records under one hood. A good thing.

Yes, this site is a real rich place. I found so many great bands here and people are actually interested in the music... somethings going.
