Samantha Fish’s rematch to make up for her cancelled Tokyo shows but for one set due to her health issues October last year has started today.

Bad luck hit again and bassist Ron Johnson missed the flight for bad weather and couldn’t make it to Japan. For the Tokyo shows, KenKen (RIZE) and Bubby Lewis (Snoop Dogg, Dr. Dre etc.) who currently lives in Japan join Samantha’s band as stand-in bassists, the former on the 11th and 12th, the latter 13th (2 sets each day).

[Edit: Rod's show last year sucked. Show that ungrateful egotist how Faces songs should be done.]

Just got my tickets for Wilco in June. I've become a huge Wilco fan over the years. I love how the band has evolved from the alt-country Exile-style rock band to the more cerebral, experimental material in its latter day line-up (Nels Cline has become one of my favorite guitar players in recent years).
