This week's PBS Feature Album is a Best Hits of The 5.6.7.8's by Tokyo's rockin' retro trio.
Best Hits of The 5.6.7.8's features 14 tracks hand selected by the group to represent some of their favourite recordings over the past 39 years together.
The 5.6.7.8's are like a turbocharged time machine, blastin' back to the sweet sounds of yesteryear while pushing the envelope with innovative jams. Their authentic vibe and fearless genre mashups make them icons of the indie and retro scenes.
Kickin' off in '86, sisters Yoshiko “Ronnie” Fujiyama and Sachiko have been the beating heart of this outfit. For their upcoming Australian tour down under, they're bringing along their long-time friend Akiko Omo on bass, keeping the lineup fresh and the music rockin'. Their killer mix of English and Japanese tunes pay tribute to the golden era of '50s and '60s American rock, '60s British rock, and Japanese Showa music, all while channelling the raw, rebellious energy of '70s punk.
Tune in all this week to hear tracks from Best Hits of The 5.6.7.8's, and PBS Members have the chance to win a copy of the album on vinyl: simply email your name and membership number to before midnight Sunday March 30.
