…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!”
