Lust at Bowery Electric

Japan Summit New York is an organization trying to make social and cultural connections between Japan and New York. Did not know there was a Japanese music scene in New York? Neither did I until the organization sponsored a Japanese earthquake and tsunami relief fund benefit at Bowery Electric tonight. Eight music acts and several dance groups were listed to perform over the course of six hours.

The final act to perform was Lust, a young power trio that performed a set of short, fast and dynamic songs, mostly in Japanese with a smattering of English. The music fell somewhere between the Jam and Green Day. I am unable to tell you what the songs were about, however. Sayonara!
