As of July 26 2008, I started chronicling Midori's journey through the NEW music business maze. Check out my blog at www.audioclique.net/blog (or click the link in the menu bar) to read about Midori's trips to Los Angeles and the various shows where she and the band play.
And of course, thanks for all of your support!!!

What are her fans from www.slicethepie.com saying?
"I think you have created genuine art here...I thought the vocalist was exceptional."
"...hits you like a boot in the face. The awesome female vocals make it so worth listening too."
"...breezy and fresh and heartfelt...very original."
"...[sung] with devotion and beauty. Adding depth, focus and great expression to their passionate performance...with great memorable lyrical lines."
How about musiczeitgeist.com?
"... the wild wild world of ... independent releases that take chances in the production room...that intertextually leans on the wide-open sound of Zeppelin and what No Doubt must have sounded like before their first major label..."
"This project rides the wave in [two] directions... promising a fresh voice and one that is institutionally sanctioned..."
"Midori’s voice has all the making of mainstream stardom, and the band that she rides understands the gravity of letting the moment ride..."
"...vintage recording techniques and broad sounding mixes that remind us that there is a life in all this, not just an agenda to cut through the clamor."
"Let’s give ‘em an A. Cuz the sound, when it’s sound, is sexy and so is she."
