    Guess Who's BACK!

    Tokyo Love Cash 11.4.06

    We're Back! I know, it's been too long. A ton has happened since you have last heard from us. A few changers, a few strangers. Ok, just one. We have a new bass player that joined the band. We have been on lock-down for a few months getting the recipe just right. This Saturday night, come on down to the St. Albans Bay Boathouse, and help welcome Rocky into the band. Poor guy, has no idea what he got himself into. But from what we can tell, he can Hold His Own. More on Rocky coming soon!

    But first things first, and this is your first chance to catch the new line-up, some new songs, a new attitude, the new Tokyo Love Cash! We will be joining our great friends Radiochild, and Dave Evans with the Expansion. The Cash Crew goes on first, (8:30pm) fallowed by Radiochild. The Expansion closes the night, and the bar.

    Come out early! We can't wait to see you! We have missed you all!

    A Festivus for the rest of us!

    Oh, What a Night!

     

     Tokyo Love Cash Christmas

     
    I huge thank you to everyone that helped make such a special night for the first annual, Tokyo Love Cash Christmas. We all had such a blast! Thanks to Keisa for all the photo's of the night, Angela for the art work, and everyone that came out to Hopkins for the party!
     

    Radiochild

    The night started out with a great set of Panic tunes by, Radiochild. They came up and threw down, getting the night started with a bang! A huge thanks to them for such a tight set, and an unforgetable, C. Brown. Midway through their set, Fowler stepped in on bass. The first of many special guests of the night. The band really set the bar, for the rest of the night's music.
     
    The second set of the night brought, Tokyo Love Cash to the stage with a cover of Elvis Presley's, Clean up your own Backyard, and a brand new original, Breakdown. The holiday spirit was easily apparent, everyone was feeling good!
     
    After a quick break, and it was much needed for The Professor, (since he had played with both bands thus far,) came a reunion of Fiasco. Rob, Adam, Tom, with former band mate and great friend, Shawn, stepped up to play some old Fiasco songs with new flavor. It is safe to say that Shawn hasn't missed a lick since he had last played live. Another big thanks to Shawn for helping us make a night to remember.
     

    Santa Clause is coming to town!

    A short break was covered by Fowler, Dan, Shawn, and Adam on the key's, with a great musical jam. The Professor had enough of breaking, and Tokyo Love Cash went on the stage for the final set of the night. Time 2 Leave, My Street, Rip Off, and Fresh Cocktails, never tasted so good! It was clear that the cocktails had been flowing, and the band played like they were in fear of not being able to cover their bar tab. The Santa hats, and Elvis shades brought us to the pinnacle of the Christmas celebration. The night was getting away from everyone, and it was time to bring back some guests to the stage for a special rendition of, Little Ditty. Somewhat a tradition in the Cash Crew, with alternate lyrics, changing the song to, Christmas Ditty. With Shawn back on the stage with the Cash, the song brought everyone to the dance floor. Underneath the Mistletoe, within a melody where we can play.
     
    It was late, but it was the perfect time for another rare Tokyo Love Cash song, Bar Fly. Seldom does this song see the light, unless the drinks have gotten the best of everyone, and this rendition was pure drunken debacle. With another special guest from Raised on Rhythm, Rob sat in on the bongo's. The crowd never gave up on the dance floor, truly making it a Festivus for the rest of us.
     
    Oh what a night, indeed! Everyone from the Cash Crew would like to thank all of our friends and family for making this Christmas party the tops! The band could not ask for a better show to cap off an unforgettable year! A special thanks to all of our special guests, Radiochild, Fowler, Shawn, and Rob Taffe from Raised on Rhythm, for helping with our entertainment needs. We are back on our band break, so till we see you next year, we wish you all the very best in 2006!

    and a Happy New Year!

    Christmas

    It was a week before Christmas, and all through the land,

    Everybody was invited to party with the band!

    Downtown Hopkins, at Decoy's, was the name of the place,

    So bring all your friends and your holiday face!

    Forget about the snow, don't worry about the ice,

    Were going to keep you warm, weather you are naughty or nice.

    Plenty of music, it's going to be wild,

    With Tokyo Love Cash, and Radiochild.

    Fiasco too! And it's been so long,

    Since we heard Shawn turn up, and sing us a song.

    So come out early, and Cash out late.

    We can't wait to see you, it's going to be great!

    For this is the party, you don't want to miss.

    Next Saturday night, it's a Tokyo Love Cash Christmas!

     

    Ewwww, pretty!

    Ewwww, pretty!

    Pharmacy is Open

    Bacon Drug

     
    We hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving weekend! We had plenty to be thankful for. And on Friday night, we were very thankful for the Pharmacy getting back together for a show at Haskels. It was a night to remember, Sharky got back together with his old band to rip the roof off of the Port of Excelsior. The band had not lost a lick, and sounded great. If you missed it, we are sorry. If you were there, you know what everyone else missed.
     
    After the show, some of the Cash Crew had a late night jam at the music store a few blocks away. A huge thanks to Dave, for opening the place, and suppling the means for the music. Songs like Memphis, Wintertime, and 4 Cornered Room never sounded like that before! And never will again! It was a great night in Excelsior!
     
    Will we ever see another Pharmacy show? Although nothing is planned, let's keep our fingers crossed. And speaking of old bands, does this mean Fiasco may be making an appearance anytime soon? You will have to wait and see!

    Hope to see you at The Cabooze

    Wednesday, November 9th marks the bands first anniversary! And what better way to spend it then at The Cabooze? Huge round of applause for all our friends and family for the support over the year, we mean years, we mean since we have been able to walk. And a special thanks for the ones that helped out before THAT too! Love, kisses, dreams, and the best hands in poker, or any other sort of gambling your life has to offer, all of it, wrapped into the greatest THANKS of them all. Then top that off with us racking your lawn and cleaning out your gutters, as just a small example of our appreciation for everything....,,,,,
     
    What? You still want more? Ok, we understand that. A year in review! It's the least we can do, but it's going to have to wait. We are not ones to count our chicks before they hatch, so we are not going to glorify this moment till it's past. Or maybe we have a sense for the drama, and we want to drag this out a bit. Keep you coming back for more. 
     
    We know what your thinking; how did Adam get so tall? But that's besides the point! What we need to concentrate on is geting everyone down to The Cabooze, this Wednesday night. We play at 9:45, way before Rob's bed time, and way before you can make an excuse on why you can't go. Work- smerk, kids-skids, house arrest- smouse arrest, we don't want to hear any excuses!  Whatever!
     
    All kidding aside, please come down to pretend to the guys in God Johnson that we have friends. Make believe that you like the music and we are pretty cool to hang out with. Don't make our parents call yours! Because we may still rack your lawn, but we're pretty sure we won't clean your gutters unless we see you there! You have been warned.

    Guess what? We're gonna have a night out in Hopkins on the 22nd. We have a whole nights worth of Tokyo Love Cash ahead of us. Starting at 9pm, on the 22nd, the band will be playing their first three set night since spring. Somebody better call the band and tell them to show up early! Don't you be late either! Decoy's has always been a great host to all of our friends this summer, and this night is guranteed to be the same. We look forward to seeing everybody out and about. Hopes for some new songs and suprises during a great fall night, full of music and drinks. Spread the word! We're going to have a Fall party at Decoy's in Hopkins, on October 22nd.

    Fall Dates Confirmed

    It's starting to look like fall around these parts. So we decided to change the blog around a bit. Were not impressed either!
     
    The band is putting together a few dates for the next few months, and we are hoping to have some more to post in the weeks to come. Everyone is very excited to announce that God Johnson has invited Cash back to the Cabooze for a date in early November. If you missed the show in August, here is your chance. It was a great night, and we look forward to a repeat performance. November 9th, so mark it on your calender.
     
    Were also happy to announce a full night of Tokyo Love Cash at Decoys, on October 22nd. It's a chance for the band to dive deep into some rare songs. Tokyo Love Cash will be playing three sets. No opening band. Most bands will tell you that it's like a marathon playing that long, but they are up for the challenge. Will we actually see Tokyo Love Cash play any cover songs? Don't hold your breath, but I'm sure that there will be a few suprises.
     
    October 22nd, Decoy's in Hopkins
     
    November 9th, The Cabooze in Minneapolis
     
    We look forward to some more dates, but the next show will be October 22nd, at Decoys. We look forward to seeing you in downtown, Hopkins.

We also would like to thank everyone from The Cabooze as well. They were all too kind to us! And of course, a huge thanks to everyone that came down to see us.

    Show Canceled

    Greetings everyone! We are very sorry to say that our show at Decoys this Saturday has been canceled. We regret any inconvenience that this has caused any of our friends. We really did want to play! We were looking forward to seeing all of you. Please accept our sincere apology! The band would like to thank the booking agent that did a great job in trying to set this show up on such short notice. It turned out to be a venue problem. We enjoy playing at Decoy's and look forward to further dates in downtown Hopkins. Again, TOKYO LOVE CASH would like to APOLOGIZE to all our FRIENDS! We will be sure to make it up!

    Big THANKS to everyone that came out last week

    It was great to see everyone last week at the Fine Line. We know that alot of you could not make it out due to the storm, or just the late start. For those of you that did bear the elements, our hats off to you! For those that did not make it, we did get the show recorded, (thanks to Ron, one of the best sound guys in the state!) and would like to make it available to everyone. We have not got a chance to hear it yet ourselves, but with the famed Fine Line's sound, anyone could sound good. Right? Let's hope! Anyone interested can drop us a line at the usual tokyolovecash@hotmail.com. We should have it available via download or CD by later next week. A special thanks has to go out to Bee for the artwork he did for the show. Also a big thanks to our friend, from the other side of the pond, d3v for his artwork and all the help he has given to this site!

     

    Check out some photos from the show in the Fine Line Photo Album! All Pic's were taken from Keisa (she kicks ass, and will kick your ass if you use her photos without her permission!)

     

    We hope everyone had a great, and safe Forth of July!
