KARI-BAND · With Friends – Live At Streaming | 2CD

Double CD in standard jewel case.

Background information about 'With Friends – Live At Streaming'

When the music world went into lockdown, Kari-Band found a way to keep the groove alive with "With Friends – Live At Streaming", a remarkable double CD that captures the raw energy of their streaming performances. Born from the ashes of tragedy when guitarist Mikio Fujioka suddenly passed away in 2018, the remaining members BOH (bass) and Yuya Maeta (drums) – both internationally recognized as the backbone of Babymetal's live performances – rebuilt their vision with the help of Fujioka's students and fellow musicians.

What emerges is pure sonic alchemy: samurai grooves that slice through conventional time signatures, impossible rhythmic patterns that somehow make perfect sense, and a healthy dose of ninja funk that'll have you questioning everything you thought you knew about Japanese instrumental music. From the opening blast of "Samurai Groove" to the mind-bending "Common Time's Logic", this live recording showcases a band that refuses to be confined by genre boundaries. The interplay between BOH's thunderous bass lines and Maeta's precision drumming creates a foundation so solid you could build a temple on it, while their guest collaborators add layers of melodic complexity that honor Fujioka's innovative spirit.
