Crimson JaguarJake Stone Garage
A three-piece rock band that fires up audiences with an accessible yet hard-hitting sound influenced by a range of genres, including blues, garage, and alternative.
Since forming in 2002, they’ve made their mark on the national rock scene with dynamic, stylish guitar riffs, a rhythm section that hurls raw impulse into every beat, and vocals that cut like a blade.

Quiet LifeJapan
Japan, the legendary British group that initially enjoyed overwhelming popularity in Japan for their stunning looks and deep appreciation of art, are introduced here with the title track from their 1979 masterpiece album Quiet Life, which marked their shift away from an early glam-influenced sound toward a synth-driven approach.
The charismatic frontman David Sylvian’s richly resonant vocals, Mick Karn’s fretless bass that generates a singular groove, the impeccable beat born from the superb sense of rhythm of Sylvian’s younger brother Steve Jansen, Richard Barbieri’s floating synths and Rob Dean’s spot-on guitar work, and the decadent atmosphere permeating the entire track—all combine into a pop yet highly art-oriented sound.
It stands as a quintessential example of European-flavored technopop and art pop, a sound that only Japan could create, and its reputation continues to grow.
Be sure to watch it together with the music video, where you can fully appreciate the members’ beauty!
