Current mood:  accomplished
After a year of following us around like a lost puppy, Big Business is happy to announce the addition of Mr. Toshi Kasai as our third member. Toshi is a wizard, ultimate hero, and makes a mean stir fry. He also plays guitar/keyboard/noise in the band. We hope you love him as much as we do. Toshi will be helping us write our most fantastic record yet sometime later in the spring.

We hope this will put an end to lazy comparisons to other two piece bands like the White Stripes and Death From Above, and aid music writers in new lazy comparisons to other three piece bands instead. Blonde Redhead? Crosby, Stills, and Nash?

At any rate, we’re happy to have Toshi on board and expect everyone to treat him with the proper respect and courtesy he deserves. Let the hazing begin!

AWESOME!! I wondered if he'd be on the next album. I wasn't sure if he'd become an "official" member... NICE!

Awesome news! He was playing with you guys when I saw you in Sacramento last Summer. What a show, absolutely blew me away.

Are you going to give him access to this MySpace page, or will he have to keep his own? His style is a lot "chattier" than yours. Later....

Hell yes to Toshi! Add The Bee Gees, Primus, ZZ Top, and the original GFR to the list ( although the Bee Gees are a pretty accurate comparison.) Hazing videos are demanded by the people!

Will Toshi Kasai be detained in a far off land for simulated drowning, or will this "hazing" be done stateside with female clothing and farm animal penetration?

This is my suggestion for a hazing ritual. Except put Toshi where Robocop is.

Cream, Band of Gypsies, ZZ Top, Post Gabriel Genesis, Post 1980 Led Zeppelin.

As they say in Thailand, " Same-same but different!"
Awesome. Toshi rocks.

I'm glad he officially joined the group. He played when I saw you guys in DC last year and it ruled.


Love,

Johnny

That's all fine and well, "Big" Business, but you still have to add 20-23 more members before I can start comparing you to the Polyphonic Spree...so get on that.

Fantastic! Can't wait to hear the next one, ya'll. BTW, we closed down Hank's in Vernon. We were the last band to play that dump.
They sure are fond of Coady up in that neck-o-the woods! Cheers!

Toshi makes the band line-up of names sound even better.

i am totally feelin you on the lazy comparisons. back in the day (before 1 billion rolled on the two piece band abacus) we used to just get lazy comparisons to any band with a female singer. often all girl bands, in fact--- to Edgar's joy. usher in the late 90's and we suddenly got painted with the white stripe brush. you know how it goes. anyway, kudos to you for bringing some confusion to the mix. like, maybe you will now simply get compared to any band with a male singer! or an asian member! my god man, the possibilities. the open doors. sing a song of morning! ...travel safe, hope to run into you guys sometime.
xo, amber
