Anniversary Party - free!

Hello,

The February and April Sirocco nights at Sound Market were nice and chilled, but next time is a celebration... June 20th is our second anniversary! Time flies - a truism as well as a great tune by Orbital.

Starting at 19:02 or so, it'll be Peter and Joseph playing mellow electronica, sweet ambient and blissed psy-chill, and there'll be no cover charge this time, so you can spend the Y500 on one of Taki-san's lush cocktails instead.

See you on the couch. Peace.

Sirocco at the Pink Cow 29th Dec 2009

Happy New Year everyone and an あけましておめでとう too for good measure.

Last Tuesday Sirocco performing in Tokyo at Shibuya's The Pink Cow, our first sojourn out of the Shonan Area. Thanks to Traci for letting us play and of course to everyone who came to our chilled oasis in the middle of busy old Tokyo.

For some people it might have been a little too chilled


Once again thanks a lot to everyone who came, we trust you had a great time as we all did. Once again it was a night of chilled music, friendly people and good vibes. A time to chill out and reflect on the year and look forward to the next.




Those who came early were treated to Peter's warm spacious ambient travels. Those that came late will have missed out on his lush tunes but can try to catch him next time.



Those of you who stayed late will have caught Bev who played late into the night for those who do not fear the last train.

Anyone in between will have heard Joseph's set of psychedelic refractions. The one set we managed to record, you can download it by clicking here

Hello,

The anniversary Sirocco was a success, a select crowd enjoying a very relaxed night at Sound Market, chilling on the couch. It also garnered a review from Des Laughton, chronicler of the Shonan scene, which you can read at http://www.seekjapan.jp/article/2133/The+Road+to+Sirocco.

We'll try to get pictures and one or two of the DJ sets posted soon too.

There'll be a little summer break, so the next Sirocco at Sound Market will be held on Sunday 20th September. However, we'll try and do something at one of the beach bars again this year.

Thanks to all who came down to Sound Market, as ever, it was a friendly, happy crowd that made the night a pleasure. Hope to see you soon.
