The Midwest Vikings - Vamos Tokyo (Trippin' Elephant Records, 2005)


Alex Hernández sent to the Club this CD-single of the Japanese band The Midnight Vikings. Never heard about them until this record came to me. The band was founded by Hang Ten (drums), Lacoste (guitar, vocals) —both of them former members of The Michele Gun Elephant—, Arnold (guitar), and Toroy (double bass). As far as I know Vamos Tokyo! (2005) is their only release. "Vamos Tokyo!" resembles a Dropkick-Murphys-going-into-psychobilly-tune, "Let's Kick Go-Go Blue and Red Boys" starts with some cool spaghetti western arrangements and "You'll Never Walk Alone" is a hooligan-like cover of the broadway musical Carousel. No fuckin' idea about what they are singing about, but it looks like some kinda hooligan sport club or something. Nothing special, if you ask me about, but it worth listening to and is cool enough to be here. Thanks to Alex!
