YAKUZA Kicks Off Dates This Weekend With JESU; Announces Canadian Dates
October 26, 2007, 17 years ago
Chicago's YAKUZA sets off this weekend for a handful of dates alongside JESU and is happy to announce a brief run through Canada in November, including shows with ARISE AND RUIN and SEE YOU NEXT TUESDAY. The band recently completed a run to the East Coast, which included an appearance at the CMJ Music Marathon in Brooklyn. Continuing to support the band's latest effort, Transmutations, Yakuza will confirm more shows shortly.
A new remix of the track 'The Blinding' from Yakuza is available online at Pitchfork.
Handled by Justin Broadrick (NAPALM DEATH, GODFLESH, JESU), the remix has been described as "Powerful, certainly, but what makes this one of Broadrick's best moments in years comes a full minute after the point where Yakuza aimed for coda. Broadrick charges in renewed, unleashing a mechanized beat that's pure, concussive force. His samples volley, but he shapes the din into a diatonic melody split in loose counterpoint by a groove more militant than you may imagine. Despite Broadrick's recent trajectory, this is unequivocally brutal" by Pitchfork.
