…SPEAKING OF ‘je ne sais quoi’… of late, I’ve been quite taken with the acoustimological guitaristical quirkipop of young Mr. Kaz Nomura, code name: PWRFL POWER. He’s a Japan -> Seattle emigre, armed with an acoustic guitar, an easy charm, and some kind of brilliantly awkward / awkwardly brilliant, silly genius.

::: PWRFL POWER - Tomato Song :::

You can get to know Kaz even better via his videos:

PWRFL POWER is playing a number of East Coast dates in the next few weeks, before returning to Seattle on July 28 to play The Stranger’s Capitol Hill Block Party.

July 14 - Providence, RI - Foo Fest @ AS220
July 15 - Boston, MA - Great Scott
July 16 - NYC - Fat Baby
July 17 - Brooklyn - Glasslands
July 21 - Baltimore, MD - Whartscape (I’d call it “Baltimorapalooza“)
July 22 - NYC - Mercury Lounge

“It’s okay to release your pwrfl power! Because it feels good!”
