THE SOVIETTES AND SWEET J.A.P. Punk rock punch, two for one! The Soviettes are comprised of local ne'er-do-wells Susy Sharp (bass), Maren Mocosko (vocals, guitar), Annie Holoien (vocals, guitar), and Danny Henry (drums). A throwback to the rough-and-tumble punk energy of days gone by, their potent riffs mix the catchy and melodic with just a touch of the sinister. Sweet J.A.P. (Japanese American Princesses) practices a brand of rock that has the band affectionately labeled "club destroyers"--garage punk as highly volatile as it is playfully aggressive. Sho (vocals), Takashi (guitar, vocals), Tsutomu (bass), Yuichiro (drums), and Hideo (guitar, vocals).
