PARTYING HARD on TV TOKYO!! Details inside
Andrew W.K. is the guest for the July 3rd broadcast of Marty`s TV show, “Rock Fujiyama”. Andrew is only the 3rd non-Japanese guest to join Marty in over 40 episodes. Taping completed Saturday, and as Marty is a huge fan of Andrew`s, and the two of them just tore the place up! For fans of either of them, this is a show not to be missed.
More info in the Japanese site.
It`s finally done!
Marty`s new album, “LOUDSPEAKER” is completed and will be released on the top label in Japan, AVEX on 6/28. Front cover pic is here: http://avexnet.or.jp/marty/news.html Worldwide release to follow this fall. Check here for more details related to the international release.
I have been a fan of Marty since “Dragon`s Kiss” and I can easily say that this is by far his most aggressive album yet and amazingly his playing continues to grow even more intense than ever.
It was also fun to hear guests Steve Vai, John Petrucci and Billy Sheehan play in such a heavy context.
Marty`s regular features as well as specials can be seen in this month`s:
Nikkei Entertainment
FLASH!
ASCII
Burrn!
Guitar Magazine
Young Guitar
Saizo
Player
Shosetsu Subaru
