    Just saw this guy + band in concert. Never really listened to him before but it was absolutely amazing. Judging from the responses of others afterwards they were just as enthralled as me. The drummer was an absolute beast, doing polyrhythms all over over the place. Another part of the trio consisted of this girl playing the accordion who had a box on a table in front of her with at least two dozens of different custom-made woodwinds/percussion/flutes/kazoos and stuff I've never seen nor heard before. And then the man himself Shugo, rocking one playful riff after another and making bad ass sounds with his mouth. Amidst of all this awesomeness they also did a cover of The Buggles' 'Video Killed the Radio Star' which Shugo tongue in cheek sung: "Video Killed the Lady-O star, video killed the Lady-O star". What a show. Definitely have to check this guy out after this performance. Best concert of Pop Revo 2013 (where names such as How to Dress well and Mount Eerie played as well). Thanks

    I like his sense of humor as well. That's why I've been to his concert over 3 times.. His talks always make me laugh out loud :)

    Woops, I mentioned the wrong song! I don't remember the name of the first song I heard by him, but it was off of the "Port Entropy" album.

    I wish Shugo was in the Kishi Bashi show that I am going to! A majestic songwriter

    I can officially say that "In Focus?" is bloody brilliant. I definitely had an ambivalent feeling the first times listening to it though, but with time it grows on you as heck. The melodies are more understated than before, but I think that just makes it more of an achievement on Shugo's part... how it all unfolds over time, it's just rare to come across music so exquisitely layered.
