Video Tuesday — Sometimes awesome cannot be quantified

By Jodi | Filed under Seen Your Video |

So, a Japanese band takes to the stage in Tokyo on December 29, 2007 and what do they cover?

Can’t Hardly Wait, of course.

You can hear more from Saddles on MySpace.

    yeah, you can’t beat Bill Murray… the band is the Saddles, and they’re by far my fave Tokyo band. They have a site at saddlestheband.net/, but I’m not sure they have any music there… they do on their myspace page - http://www.myspace.com/saddlestheband. I was really surprised when I first came to Japan how many people I met who loved Replacements.

    Wolfdogg made me stay up entirely too late last night by sending me links of Saddles videos and music. I think he’s a certified fan.

    They rocked the shit! Loved the energy and extra enthusiasm points to the two girls in front.
