From WEA/RYKO! Fronted by long-time Misfits collaborator John Cafiero, Osaka Popstar is a kick in the teeth to anyone who dared to think that punk rock'n'roll was dead! Vocalist/Producer Cafiero has assembled a band of super luminary original punk rock super heroes, featuring Marky Ramone (The Ramones) on drums, Jerry Only (The Misfits) bass, Dez Cadena (Black Flag), and Ivan Julian (Richard Hell & The Voidoids) on guitars. The 13-track debut includes hi-octane punk-pop cover versions of the cult classic anime theme songs 'Astro Boy' and 'Sailor Moon' plus an incredible, revved-up cow-punk version of the traditional bluegrass classic 'Man of Constant Sorrow.' Completing this over-the-top, high-energy package is a limited edition bonus DVD that includes two amazing, animated music videos ('Wicked World' and 'Insects') by cult animators Mari-chan and Joel Veitch of Rather Good, as well as an Osaka Popstar Topps Wacky Packages bonus sticker, and a 20-page, full-color booklet featuring art by a posse of renowned comic and anime artists including Butch Lukic, John Pound, Dalek, Mari-chan, Tragnark, and more. Scheduled to ship in September 2008. |
