I was at the El Rey last night was well. I wish I could agree with
Cynthia. More than one person said that Yukimi never would have made it
past Simon on American Idol. That being said, the band was pretty
great. Maybe she was nervous, maybe she's too young and inexperienced -
all I know is, keep your expectations low, and if you can sing, give
your card to Magnus.

I see them tonight in SF at Bimbo's 365 Club...perfect venue for Koop.
Thanks for sharing the positive review. After hearing some of the
comments on the tour, I've been concerned they would be unable to
reproduce their flawless studio sound. So, they played no new material?
At least Yukimi will be there!
Peace...

Just in from Koop at the El Rey (Los Angeles). Very enjoyable show,
albeit short. Definitely worth checking out if/when they come your way
on tour. Generally love their sound and Yukimi's vocals, but I think
having the live band made all the difference in the world. They pulled
a great crowd, including a certain C.S.I. cast member, former Janet
Jackson video star, who seems to frequent the El Rey (anyone know, does
he live in the neighborhood?). In addition to the music, I must say, I
most appreciate that I only had to walk three blocks from home to get
there! Any other listees make it out? Anyone planning to check out
the Stone's Throw show (Madlib, Peanut Butter Wolf) there on the 15th?

p.s. They didn't wear those ridiculous DRESSES from the album cover.

They haven't hit us yet - end of the month, starting 27 feb in LA. I'm
just hoping they wear those ridiculous shirts they had on the album

Hey,
I was wondering if anybody saw koop on the west coast? I know Yukimi
Nagano is part of the tour along with I believe seven musicians. Cant
wait for them to come to Philly on March 7 at NXNW.
Peace,
