I suppose like a lot of people I discovered SK via Nirvana. I have always been interested in Japan, Japanese culture (and Japanese girls!!) so made a mental note to check out SK. To my shame it took me years to actually get around to doing this. The first thing I ever heard by SK was Twist Barbie off Burning Farm. I was immediately hooked. I began buying all their albums off e bay and amazon, and would look forward to the sound of a new SK CD album being posted through my letter box. Some came from Japan and I marvelled at the thought of a CD actually being posted to me from their home country. This year I have attended three SK shows - awesome!!! I have never seen a band rock so hard in all my life! Best of all, I got to meet SK in personal. They say you should never meet your heroes, of course, this does not apply to SK. SK were just like everyone says they are; very, very friendly, down to earth and approachable (and extremely gorgeous). My only regret is not having checked out their music out years earlier. Though I have no doubt I have many great new SK CDs and shows to look forward to. I expect the ultimate will be to finally to get to travel to Japan and catch some SK shows there!!! Kurt Cobain thank you very much!!
