Our Take

KAN MIKAMI / JOHN EDWARDS / ALEX NEILSON Live At Cafe Oto Review:

The trio of Kan Mikami, John Edwards, and Alex Neilson hit the stage at Cafe Oto with the force of a sonic hurricane. Mikami, the venerable Japanese folk troubadour, tore through his songs with a raw, visceral energy that left the audience breathless. His gravelly growl cut through the air like a chainsaw through butter, while Edwards' thunderous bass lines and Neilson's frenetic drumming provided the perfect backdrop for Mikami's anguished wails.

From the haunting laments of "Tokyo Blues" to the frantic energy of "Kamikaze," the trio showcased their undeniable chemistry and musicianship. Mikami's lyrics, a mix of social commentary and personal storytelling, were delivered with a sense of urgency that was impossible to ignore. Edwards' bass lines rumbled like a volcano about to erupt, while Neilson's drumming was a masterclass in controlled chaos.

The live recording captured the intensity and intimacy of the performance, with each note ringing out clear and true. The audience's rapturous applause at the end of each song was a testament to the power of Mikami, Edwards, and Neilson's music.

In conclusion, KAN MIKAMI / JOHN EDWARDS / ALEX NEILSON Live At Cafe Oto is a must-listen for fans of raw, unfiltered music that cuts straight to the bone. This album is a testament to the enduring power of live music and the magic that can happen when three talented musicians come together on stage. Grab your headphones, crank up the volume, and prepare to be blown away.
