Kevin Shima and Fokushima
jamie on February 28th, 2006
It’s been a very busy couple of weeks for me, so I’m trying to get blog entries in when I can, but there’s just never enough time- thus, this is late from Friday:
I got an email today [Friday] from an old friend from college whose band decided to hang it up two years ago. His bio says: “Kevin Shima began writing songs at the age of 14, and produced over 150 songs (singing and performing all instruments alone) before graduating from high school…”- and I’ve been listening to him since he started college, where he eventually helped found the aforementioned band, Homunculus. Today’s [Friday again] email anounced the upcoming playing schedule for Kevin’s new outfit Fokushima. There are some demo songs available on the new site, and from what I’ve heard, I’m really going to like the new album (due out soon). He’s been working with local artist/producer Clay Cook to complete the album in Cook’s Atlanta studio. Good to see Kevin back with new material.
