Hiroshima
And Yellowjackets Sneak A Peak At Christmas August
11, 2004 - Christmas is still some time away but record
companies have to plan ahead so excuse them for sipping
on the eggnog a little early. Heads Up has just announced
news of two holiday releases first Hiroshima's
' Spirit of the Season' and the Yellowjackets
'Peace Round.' The latter was available in limited
release last year. Hiroshima's Christmas album should
expand the boundaries musically, Dan Kuramoto of the
band says, "Every Hiroshima record is an attempt
to reflect the diversity of our society and that diversity
is the heart and soul of our music." So we look
forward to Christmas. We'll keep you up to date. Hiroshima
