Pin Pon Dash

There aren't many local Japanese rock bands to begin with, and Pin Pon Dash may be the only one who writes and performs all their own music. Each of the four members is from a different part of Japan, and all met here in Seattle while working at various sushi restaurants. They have a quickly-growing fan base, playing local spots the High Dive, Central Saloon, Funhouse, Comet, Lobo & Jimmy Z's. Their much-anticipated full-length debut album End Of The Beginning is now available in Uwajimaya stores and online through Sliver Records(www.sliverrecords.com).
